After recovering from the football party and finishing reading the newspaper, [insert first 12 pages of the paper reiterating Spain is the best and an additional 31 page football lift out for your perusal - in case you missed it - plus a few more pages at the back] we've headed South. Here they are still celebrating, although I did see a Spanish flag on a clothes line today so perhaps they are on a break?
We have been to the amazing ancient city of Cordova. An incredible UNESCO world heritage listed sight that has more history than Elizabeth Taylor's love life bless her soul. Andulucia Southern Spain is where you will find the incredible remains of ancient ruins that date back to something like the 8th century BC. With historical references like these who else feels like their time in the century is rather brief?
I have now also made several new friends both locally and of course from the tour - mainly from Canberra (where else right?) and from Australia in general confirming we all do indeed come from the lucky country.
As I embrace the traditions of an afternoon siesta, indulge in tapas and sangria (that's what we have at happy hour mum) and discover the incredible history and culture of this country, its becoming more and more obvious that Ill need to commence planning my next trip already and it may not be the last time I see the welcome Señorita Bruce sign at Madrid airport.
Bless your beautiful heart Sra Bruce.
ReplyDeleteFunny how you meet Aussies and how when Aussies get together they always seem to be talking about how bloody good Australia is. Sorry, I've still not gotten over my 8 months of totally alone working with 10 aussies in a London pub! ; )
I would like to round this up by saying you are doing a great work warming up with beer and good foods, see you in 9 days Seniorita Netty!
Love
Sara
