A day in Ronda

Today was a fun day, Paul, Elizabeth and I took off in the car for Ronda.



Ronda is a beautiful city, with lots of old architecture. Here is me with Ronda in the background.



We visited Spain's oldest bull ring.



We saw the three bridges that Ronda is famous for, the new bridge, which is 300 years old, the old bridge is around 800 years old and the Roman bridge which is even older.

We also visited the baths in Ronda.



Well, up early again tomorrow for our flight to London.

Trip to Tangier

Today we got up real early again and took a bus trip to Tangiers. Here is Bob and Sue on the bus.


After a 45 minute ferry ride, we arrived in Tanger.



It was fun, we took a bus tour of the city, on the way back into town we stopped for camel rides.



This was our guide Hassan, he was really nice.



We had an authentic Moroccan lunch, it was really yummy. Then we did a little shopping and headed back for Spain.

Tomorrow we are going to take it easy and go to Ronda.

Seville

Today we traveled to Seville, we had to get up even earlier to catch the bus today. I was really tired.

Once we got to Seville, we got a tour around the gardens by the Cathedral and Castle.



The Cathedral was beautiful, I almost liked it better than Westminister Abby.



Here I am on the pew.



Then after lunch we toured the Castle. It was as impressive as the Alhambra.

Tomorrow we get to sleep in then we go to Jerez and Gibralter.

A day in London

Today was a busy day, the first thing I got to do was ride the Underground






Next we took the Original Tour Bus around London. We got off to tour Westminister Abby.



After that we got back on the tour bus and got off at Trafalger Square. We needed to visit the London National Gallery so Taylor could see some works by Paolo Uccello who she wrote a report on. Next we walked through town, I saw Big Ben!





We wanted to go on the London Eye, but the line was WAY too long, so we decided to walk around instead.
After touring around London, we decided to go to Abbey Road Studios where I wrote my name on the wall.


Tomorrow we are off to Spain!

Long Flight . . . London!




We had a nice short hopper from Fresno to San Francisco then a 3 hour wait in San Francisco for our flight to London. Latte and I were having a good time looking out the window at the planes.






Our flight to London was almost 10 hours, everyone except Marilou had a nap. I bet she will sleep good tonight. There was several movies to choose from on the plane, I watched Happy Feet.
We arrived in London and had a nice long walk from the terminal to immigration where I got my first stamp in my passport. It is much colder in London that in Fresno and it was raining lightly.
After we finally go the rental car, we drove to the hotel. We only had to drive one extra time around the roundabout. After checking in we had some good British Fish & Chips and went back to the hotel ready for SLEEP. Tomorrow looks to be a good day and we will take the Original Tour Bus around town to see the sites!


Night night, I am off to sleep in my comfy bed!
