Caceres 2

Ah, the heat has returned.

QB limping and in a lot of pain. Tendon on right foot aggravated by walking and walking and hills and medieval cobbles. Hopefully some rest, Aleve and another day here will help.

Fab shower here at the Parador. A good Parador with the usual roaming corridors. Breakfast good but very few if any are Spanish. The tourists like us enjoy the large buffet. Fresh orange juice, Sevilla, available, good and inexpensive. Yeah, though not really good for those watching their sugar intake.

Navigation hard today as the Game of Thrones people took many of the street name plaques down. Medieval city hard enough with street names; without…..

No cancel culture here

Tower of Bujaco. 12 th century Arab fortification with interpretive center. Roman, Visigoths, then Arabs. Good slots for arrows. Overlooks Plaza Mayor.

Museo Caceres. Excellent regional archeological and history museum. Good signage. Caves with very early handprints etc. Maltravieso Cave. Also intricate jewelry from 5th century and so much more including the cistern below.

Iberian pig?

Fabulous Arab cistern. Main reason I wanted to go to this museum but it turned out that not only is the cistern wonderful the exhibits were as well.

Contemporary art museum with some very good and interesting pieces asked if we had a reservation and we said no, so they took my name, wrote it on a piece of paper, entered it into the computer and then let us in free. Guess that was the reservation.

      Yes, interesting medieval city. Hard to walk about, difficult cobbles and very very steep everywhere. But, yes, interesting mix of roman visagoth arab and chistian history.

    Muru is still keen to helicopter in if needed! Hugo will is the navigator. There may be short delay to clean up since Diego just peed on the helicopter.

      The thought is much appreciated, but I’m afraid that team might accidentally navigate to the wrong planet.
