Granada!

Today was an early morning with breakfast at 645 as we had to be checked out and on our way by 730.

We visited the Alhambra today and we were one of the first groups to go through today. It is a giant complex that has Arab origins where the sultan used to have over 200 wives! It used to be used for religious purposes that were transferred from different groups. Very beautiful and very complex with many Arabic influences.

The students did a scavenger hunt looking for certain monuments – trust me it was safe. They had to find monuments and take selfies with them.

We also visited an alley called Little Morocco. Spain is very close to Morocco and they sell their wares there from purses to decorative pomegranates to bookmarks. Very pretty.

We nine had a lovely lunch outside or al fresco of more Italian influences then Spanish influences with pizza, pasta and risotto with a splash of gazpacho soup.

Lindsay has been inspiring us with her dancing and photo poses. Have a peek.

I can’t believe my good luck in parents trusting me with their children in allowing me to travel with them. Our travellers have been kind, generous, PATIENT, and just over fantastic! Zero complaining. Following the rules. Zilch for drama. A little tired, but having fun!

From Granada, we took a 3 hr bus drive to Seville where we will dine tonight at Spanish time of 830 which they still consider early. Tomorrow we tour Seville and then head for the south of Spain!
