Ahh Segovia!

---

We spent the night last night in Segovia and have just returned to Madrid this afternoon.

Segovia, in contrast to Toledo, has an undeniable buzz to it. It doesn´t lack for soul, that´s for sure. Nor does it lack for party spirit! Our hotel was a gorgeous little place on what we discovered is known as party street in Segovia. And yes, they partied and partied and partied. To about 5am in fact. We flaked well before this and all I can say is thank god for ear plugs! They saved our sanity and our sleep.

We wondered the streets aimlessly, losing ourselves in the meandering paths and discovering the glorious parks that surround the city where we strolled and admired the truly amazing city above us. The castle was what fairy tales are made of. A scene straight from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. I have some amazing pictures that I can´t upload yet because they´re on a different camera to the happy snappy we´ve been using to update this blog. I´ll do it when I get home.

We had dinner in a quaint little kitchenette that served up some wonderful food and Sangria. A fitting finale to a spectacular day. Segovia is listed as a world heritage city and rightly so. It is a true wonder of the world and deserves preservation for all time.

On the way to the train station we finally stumbled across a fruit shop and a supermarket. As much as we enjoy Spanish food, fruit and veg is not a large part of their staple diet so we took the opportunity to stock up and gorge ourselves on as much fruit as our stomaches could hold. If there´s one thing we have in Australia that just can´t be beat is variety.

Tonight we have booked ourselves into a swanky Spanish restaurant, to finish our stay in Spain on a (hopefully) high note. We´re off to Geneva tomorrow for the last leg of my adventure before Fleury and I go our own separate ways for a couple of weeks.

Rizzo sad now. 😞
