Back from my hols September 21, 2009
Posted by vickimcgarvey in : Comms , trackbackJust wanted let you know that I am back from my holiday to Spain. Quite a hectic one but full of exciting and interesting experiences. We started off in Seville and 40+ temperatures, something I have never experienced before, although I am sure our friends at D2L have encountered the likes on their travels. Seville is an amazing vibrant place, exquisite tapas and the most stunning Alcazabar (Moorish fortification). We then went on to Cadiz, an extremely blustery city, again with a Moorish influence with two beautiful cathedrals, labyrinthian streets and an excellent view of the atlantic from our retro Parador. We then went on to Tarifa a very pretty whitewashed fishing town just in time for their fiesta, where most of the women and girls dressed up in traditional dress and statues of Mary and Jesus were paraded through the town, followed by a brass band and men on horseback. Whilst in Tarifa we went on a day trip to Morocco, to the city of Tanger which is only 35mins away by catamaran. Tanger is a port and 4th largest city in Morocco with over a million people and is particularly cosmopolitan. Whilst there we sampled their cuisine, had a rug and herbs and spices demonstration, and a visit to the Kazbah. We ended our holiday in Malaga, which I have visted before and would recommend to those who have not. It is an extremely attractive city, with a Cathedral, Alcazabar and of course the Picasso museum.
Just been through my e-mails and there seems to have been quite a lot of activity whilst I have been away, off to look at the paperwork in more depth…looking forward to the challenges ahead.
