Campervan Adventures in Spain & Portugal: Beas de Granada hike

By

Our first day in Spain we got up bright and early to hike the Beas de Granada hike. The start was about a 10 minute walk down the road from our campsite to Beas de Granada and from there walk through the hills to Granada. 




We were up so early we barely saw any people at first and the hike was beautiful!











We did end up seeing a lot of mountain bikers later on the trail and everyone was so nice and no one almost ran us over (which has definitely happened in other places where hikers and bikers are on the same trails)! All the bikers made sure that everyone saw us and said hello or waved as they went by. 

The hike was so nice, 16 km, but I was so glad we were up early as it was so hot by the end! And there was very little shade on the trail!

Once we got to Granada we wandered through town a bit, first walking by Alhambra 






Then through town (which I was dying because it was so so hot so I didn't take many photos)

Once we got back to camp we got some cold drinks at the restaurant and relaxed. It was such a nice day, but man is that sun hot. It only got up to 27C, but in the sun it was way too much for me. When I think of Granada I think a burning inferno!. 

20.44km walked, 53 flights

Fall is here!

So not a whole lot has happened since I last posted. On our anniversary we were going to go on the boat tour of Berlin, but it was rainy and overcast so we decided to wait for a nice sunny day to do that. We had a few errands to run in the morning and then Raymond said about going to a museum. I saw the natural history museum and since I loved the one in Denver we decided to go there. You walk into this big room with lots of fossils and Dinosaurs! They didn't have a lot of things - this was the main room and is maim attraction of the museum. It was a tiny place, and they were doing renovations on a lot of the other exhibits. Apparently it is famous for having the largest dinosaur skeleton in the world! They also had these fun viewfinder things you could look through and if you point it at a dinosaur it would show this animation that filled them in and then showed them running around or eating or whatever. I thought it was fun. There was also a large room of rocks and m...

By
Our last day in Den Haag we wandered around just a bit more First stop - the Antique and Book market The ground was all seashells Mondrian on the water by the government buildings We decided to get lunch at Cafe Zeta which was in Grote Markt where they were having a free music festival, Sinester. Though we were there on the last day which was the kids day. It was fun as we were sitting outside and at the stage people were teaching kids how to play things and DJ and stuff.  I got the Hippie Buddah Bowl (Bulgur, sweet potato, bald, roasted chickpeas, tahini dressing, avocado, black sesame seeds) with the Fennel mint pear juice And Raymond had the Apple Pear Ginger juice and the Veggie Roast Bowl (mushrooms, red onion rings, rocket, Parmesan cheese, olive oil).

The final days in Paris

By
Our second day of our museum pass we used to go to the Louvre. It so huge - we spent from open to close there and just managed to see everything. It is also very confusing how to get from point a to point b - so many stairs and up and down floors just to see the one floor....good thing I had Raymond or I would have wondered aimlessly forever (but by the end I had the hang of it). We started with the medieval Louvre, Greek, Etruscan, Roman and Egyptian Antiquities. When we first walked in we were right behind a few tour groups, but somehow we lost them pretty quick and we able to walk around and brows without tons of people. I cannot imagine going during the summer when it is super crowded. I liked the different colors of stone on some of them After that we got some lunch nearby then headed back to look at the paintings Then my favorite part - decorative arts. So much fun pretty things. Replica of Napoleons apartment. Then ...
