Cartagena
was the first stop on our four day coach trip with the U3A. We have visited this lovely city twice
before, but we were pleased to be able to spent some more time there.
The
coach dropped us off just beside the town hall, which was just as well because
I have had a very painful ankle for two weeks or so, and this was the first
time I have had a pair of shoes on for almost a week.
A
painful ankle is my excuse for making straight to the nearest café for a coffee
to warm up. Not sure that Jan, David and
Rosemary needed an excuse. The coffee
cost 1.50 euro each, cheaper than David´s 2.50 per cup back in November 2009
We
left David and Rosemary to explore the city at their own pace. We set off much slower and found this much
photographed statute.
We
also found one for me, but with a seat where I could rest my ankle
We
then made our way, very slowly, to the harbour area
Where
there was another suitable photo opportunity for Jan
And
another seat for me, where I could apply
Ibufen gel to my ankle
And
this is the “famous” café where David was charged 10 euro for four cups of
coffee back in 2009. I took this photo
so that he would have a reminder. Not
that he needs reminding, as I always remind him each time anyone mentions
Cartagena.
Despite
my ankle it was nice to see some of the
sights of Cartagena again, including the lovely Roman ruins with the impressive
background of the bay and mountains.
