... the heat of the day. Hmmm. What can I say about Seville? The city definitely has a Arabic feel to it. The Alcazar Palace is covered in geometric designs and Arabic script that would look more at home in Mecca. The cathedral is one of the biggest ...

... (good old friend who worked at Marsh in Madrid with me, and who I tortured for a few months when he lived in my humble palace, and then later in London) and Gabriela. They took us to La Liguerea where we tasted some of the great Chilean tapas classics and ...

... and a rather rich, gold, baroque altar piece. Fairly impressive but we are getting rather cathedraled out now. The Alcazar (palace) was grand - we somehow got in without paying an entrance fee, wandered through an arch and realised where we were. ...

... clear sky. Headed up to the Alcazar, a former Moorish (or the Moops if you´re a Seinfield fan) fort and royal palace. Amazing gardens and Moorish architecture. Look up pictures for yourself. Can´t really describe it besides to say it´s ...

... say, best interior decorating - not too gaudy, just suiting and stylish for the era. The Alcazar here (the still in use Royal Palace) is straight from a genius' hands. The detail is simply amazing. Everything here is so stoic and ornate, I really am ...

... hotel until almost 5.  [SIGH].  The day was waning and I was missing it all, or so I believed.   The NH Laguna Palace Hotel [ www.nh-hotels.com ] is across the viaduct from the actual and historical city of Venice.  It is situated ...

... for the whole 2 days of the drive.  Soft top stayed up.  Still, it meant the rest of California was spared the speedo/bikini fest we had planned.  Still got to cruise Malibu, Big Sur, Laguna Beach blah blah blah............in the ...

... The Chan Chan site has almost disappeared due to erosion, it is pretty much built out of sand after all. But the palace we visited has been partially restored. The palace compound contained two large ceremonial courtyards, living quarters, a cemetery, and ...

... that Pasto is not a place I wanted to linger in. It really doesn't have anything going for it, apart from being close to Laguna de la Cocha (2,800m), which I visited the next day. This involved sharing a car with 3 others to the laguna, but first you ...

... and pick us up at the Royal Palace in the city center.  So we thanked them and started wandering. The Royal Palace was surprisingly unremarkable, and we only went in far enough to discover that there was no restroom for me to use.  So ...
