Well we are now in Granada, in the south of Spain. More unseasonably cold weather but here it is about 11 degrees – have been reading of 40 degree heat and hot nights.
This morning we were up at fart of sparrow [felt like it – it was 0830 and still dark] to go to the Allhambra, a fort from when the south of spain was under Muslim influence. It, and the Palace and Gardens were amazing – kind of like an Arabian better holmes and gardens on crack. Very hilly and stair-y, I am not feeling like am missing out on my training, as am doing these walks in less comfy shoes than what I will be wearing on the day.
I have found a hill to do some hell hill repeats up- hopefully either this arvo or tomorrow. Off to Madrid tomorrow.
Now time for siesta
PS am drinking mucho sangria – it is alcoholic but goes down like lolly water. whoopsy.
Demons, dancing, doctorates, debauchery. 
Re Sangria, you’re on holiday so you’re allowed, go for it!
can’t believe you’re exercising on holidays! I’d be slobbing around! so you’re doing much better than me!
Ah Sangria…….. I remember it well!!
