Tora Tora off to Granada

Hi! Well what didn't we get up to today.....
As usual we ate too much for breakfast at the hotel - then we picked up the hire car to take ourselves off to Granada- we had half fancied that we might get to the Alhambra and have a squiz- but just let me say that was not to be. Our Tom Tom only decided to go to English on the way home - on the way there it was directing us in German - it is only a testament to Pauline's navigation skills that we got there at all! My personal mantra " the driver must be in the centre of the road" was all I could think about - that and reminding muskeg how to drive a stick...... Anyway - we made it - and lets say it was less than inspiring- after the beautiful coast and - we found Granada a bit of a bust. I think a bit hampered by arriving at siesta time on a Saturday in the middle of major roadworks - just a combination that didn't work for us
The drive there was spectacular (course) and we stumbled across a tiny little place for lunch where we were the only English speaking patrons - that was super fun - Annie had her first ( but I'm sure not last) taste of paella - she loved it - as did Pauline and I
We got home to do a bit of detective work to find out that our tour starts at 7.15 tomorrow. So away we go - off to morocco. Spain has been a blast - so it is with some sadness that we say adios - but we all very keen to start the next part of the trip! Hopefully we will have access to wifi to keep sharing.
To those of you who have commented - thank you. It's nice to know we stay connected. Enjoy the show in Adelaide - bertie Beatle bads for all of us please! Big love from the tipsters.
