I always forget how beautiful Cadiz is until I come here again. Perhaps it\u2019s the weather; I\u2019ve yet to come when it is anything less than glorious sunshine. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever seen Cadiz in the rain. As I write this, the sea-birds are calling from the port in way that almost reminds me of home, and the breeze is lovely and fresh after spending so long cooped up on board.<\/p>\n
Crew gets a discount on the tickets for the open topped hop-on-hop-off tour busses that operate in most every port and despite several seasons of coming here I had yet to take the circle tour (this most likely had something to do with the scheduling restrictions of my previous potions) so with more than enough time between the time I ambled down the gangway to the time I was due to head back up it this afternoon I figured now was as good at time as any.<\/p>\n
Since I made this decision early on I was able to get a seat on the top leave l of the bus, the same set of seats that Kit and I once occupied on a similar bus during our whirlwind day-trip around New York.<\/p>\n
There are so many areas of Cadiz I\u2019ve simply never had time to visit, and the bus rumbles past long stretches of beautiful waterfront dotted with beach front, umbrella laden cafes that were I not travelling on my own, I would be more than tempted to call on for the first time.<\/p>\n
As it is, I found myself more than content to relax and enjoy the weather and the liltingly familiar British-accented voice telling me everything I never knew about the city\u2019s history.<\/p>\n
For example the legend of the city\u2019s old church where a great painter once fell to his death .A gypsy had once told him he would die at wedding, so he never went to one, but the paining he was working on when he fell was of a an engagement party\\Past the botanical gardens where there are tress that are hundreds of years old, past churches that are older than the trees, past oranges trees that make the air drunk with their scent.<\/p>\n
This place\u2026is so beautiful..<\/p>\n
And I have been lucky enough to see it at least three times\u2026<\/p>\n
How did that happen again?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
