The wheels on the bus go ‘round and ‘round…’round and ‘round…’round
and ‘round…the wheels on the bus go ‘round and ‘round all day long!!
We had a looooong bus travel day as we headed southwest out
of Valencia towards Granada. We did a couple bonus stops in on the day. We did our first potty stop in the gorgeous
seaside town of Alicante. We hopped off
the bus and went straight down & put our toes in the Mediterranean…sigh…delightful! Our lunch stop a few hours later was in
Murcia, a town that neither I nor Mallorie had ever been to. A delightful old
town square with beautiful buildings.
Our last stop was just a gas station for a quick potty break and off to
Granada we went.
A glorious town nestled in the Sierra Nevada, with its
whitewashed buildings and the Alhambra towering above. We took a quick city tour and saw the crypts
of the Kings & Queens (Ferdinand, Isabel, Juana la loca, Felipe el
hermoso).
A quick dinner later and we were back in mini-buses off to
watch a flamenco show done by gypsies in the caves. We took a quick tour
through the Albacyn area of town with the white-washed walls, and glorious
views of the Alhambra at night. Fun event was being attacked by little hoodlums
wielding water balloons. J Kids…
The gypsy show was great (kids enjoyed their muted sangria)
and two of our girls, Carolyn & Aishwarya, were picked to dance in the show…which
was super cool as Carolyn in an amazing dancer…La Bailarina is living up to her
tshirt nickname!!
All in all, a looooong day on the bus makes everyone a
little stir crazy, but we weathered it the best we could and enjoyed a fabulous
evening of flamenco!
Tomorrow we’re up early to see the Alhambra and then head
down to Costa del Sol for some beach time!
Until the next post!
