See ya bye Barcelona, Hola Servilla

Lets just say the Spanish rail system is an experiance and leave it at that shall we. Tips if you are planing on travelling by rail in Spain:-
1. Go buy your tickets a couple of days in advance.
2. Take provisions as you never know when you will have to line up for HOURS!!
3. If taveling by rail when hot expect to be late arriving.
On the plus side the place where we stayed was beautiful, down a little alley way tucked away off the main shopping strip. Lots of very fashionable people doing their thing. We found a little public park thingy that had some really fun water featurs where people would go to cool off and let their dogs have a play during the day, and at night lots of little resturants would open so there are lots of people out for dinner and such. I'm going to find it a big adjustment being back home and not eating dinner at midnight. Is there any chance of the library adopting the siesta? I quite like a little snooze in the afternoon! Haven't done much in the way of sight seeing in Servilla but it's nicce to have a bit of a break from all the culture. (WOW how much of a bogan do I sound!!)

One thing we did find in Servilla is this shop

Has the best in the way of tasty tasty treats, they even have olives made out of chocolate. Are making our way to Madrid for four days, looking forward to a change of location, as every thing in Servilla seems ato be under construction.

Ash.

  1. I'm in Adelaide at the Technician's Conference, siesta sounds good though.
