I thought it was about time I did another blog, so here I go.
Since our last blog in Amsterdam, we have been to Barcelona for two nights, where the weather was very warm, the people very friendly, and the atmosphere just what we wanted on our holiday. Barcelona is in the region of Spain where bullfighting is strictly prohibited, and that's no bull! Lol! And it was interesting to hear the cab driver say on the way to our hotel that the other regions of Spain where they do have bullfighting are treating the Catalonia region as second class and are trying to overturn their law. Bull fighting is seen as barbaric and cruel in Barcelona, whereas in other parts of Spain it is considered a tradition. Here is a photo of a bullfighting ring that is now disused.
We also found an amazing park with a big mammoth and a large fountain.
After leaving Barcelona we are now in southern France, sunning ourselves on the patio of our hotel room, waiting for the French kids to get out of the pool! Lol. Between Barcelona and Avignon, where we are now, we visited a small town called Carcassonne, where we had a good look around a medieval city.
All is good and we are going to eventually get back in the pool. The temperature is currently 30 degrees!
Until next time.
