Ola!
We survived the snow…

We have spent today swanning around Cordoba, and mainly being gobsmacked at the majestic Mezquita. Originally the Basilica of San Vincente, it then became a Mosque, only to be returned to a Cathedral in 1236. Pretty damn impressive really…

After that, it´s been mainly loitering with intent… to shop mainly. We´ve found an amazing label called ¨Desigual¨ from Barcelona we think, really colourful and edgy. www.desigual.com The first I must say, which has been a little surprising, that is after the world famous ¨Zara¨ of course! www.zara.com

Daughter is doing really really well. She is such a seasoned traveller now, it´s wonderful watching her practice and master all the stuff you need to do whilst doing the travelling thing. Today it was about carrying ones smalls to the laundrette, working out the cost and pick up arrangments. She´s also picking up a little Spanish along the way. One of our favourites is ¨una mas¨, meaning ¨one more¨… saves us having to repeat things, especially food orders!!

We have been getting into the Tapas, and really enjoying it. Although daughter does keep reminding us about what we´re eating and how cruel we are ie last night it was lamb chops, and she was in tears over the ordering of such a thing. So she stuck to her croquettes, and spanish meatballs and left the rest of us heathens to handle the rest. The tears at the dinner table are a bit head turning though!

We leave Cordoba tomorrow and head for Seville.
No doubt we´ll have much more to report then.
Adios…
