Cadiz

Spanish Navy Training Ship Cadiz

The French couple slept in a box atop of their Landrover Discovery, which amused most of the campers around, none more than Dieter! The box was a purpose built tent of sorts. A couple of G & T's later we retired.

Morning broke and bathed us with warm sunshine - blackbirds singing, then the lady blackbird came down from her nest for breakfast. Next stop for us. the ferry and Cadiz. Off on our bikes and we caught the earlier ferry landing in the harbour 11.15 a.m. where we caught the tourist bus for a trip around Cadiz to enable us to familiarise ourselves with the sights. Then it was off on foot, there was a wedding going on in one square so we watched this before going to find a place for a spot of lunch. The cathederal square was pretty impressive so we ate paella there washed down with vino tinto before exploring more of the city before taking the ferry back Puerto de Santa Maria. It started to rain whilst we were on the ferry but thankfully it was just a heavy shower, so we retrieved our bikes from the railing Dieter had chained them to and set off back for the camp site and now it is extremely hot, so have taken refuge indoors to write the blog......more later...
