Trip

The trip was really good although really busy.

London gave us a few days of sunshine allowing us to sit outside without coats. A rarity. We went to some neat exhibitions at the Royal Academy and National Portrait Gallery, met up with some of my friends from when I was a kid for really fun meals, shopped in Sloane Square and Covent Garden and just soaked up the weather. One day we ventured over to Oxford and explored the high street, visited the botanical gardens, wandered some of the colleges and just enjoyed the town.

Southern Spain was really great. We had a wonderful time at the Allahambra, exploring the Moorish quarters of Granada, had yummy food and most of all loved the spa hotel. The hotel was stunningly beautiful and the spa didn't let us down. We also went to Cordoba, where we visited the largest mosque in the Western world, Ronda and Maravella. Ronda is a beautiful town nestled in the mountains with great views... Maravella is less attractive and rather built up, but the weather didn't disappoint.

Now the countdown has begun for C's arrival...
