Cadiz

We were hoping to go over to Cadiz on the Catamaran but because of expected high winds a coach transfer has been arranged instead. We set off early with our new found friends Stewart and Jenny arriving in Cadiz at 10.30.  All was quiet and as still rather chilly we opted for a warming hot chocolate and churros in the main square before heading into the numourous narrow streets containing very tall balcony fronted buildings.  It's a lovely town with lots of history going back to the Romans but most had to be rebuilt after our (the Earl of Essex 's) assault on Cadiz in 1596.....oh dear!

Flower market

Fried fish is the thing to eat here so of course we thought we should, visiting the fish market first, where standing only bars are in abundance, we eventually opted for a nice seated café with wine included. Oh, and before that Les had bought a cone of little shrimps..... They were lovely too but I couldn't help thinking I could have been eating insects as you eat the whole thing.... rather spoilt the experience for a bit.

The sun is still out but there is an unseasonal cold northerly wind so the coats are definitely on again for the next few days.
