Rain, rain go away, come again another day!

Oh yes it came  again and again!  In two weeks crossing Europe we have not had a dry day. Since we left Holland.  sometimes very intense rain. I am not complaining but it has been difficult to manage. 

There have bee a couple of repairs to do on the van it was difficult to pick a dry time to do them.

In the last week or so we have visited the Alhambra  and the Mesquita in Cordoba, both very impressive  and well worth the visit  though I think we both agree that the Mesquita  was far and away the most exciting and interesting.  A vast  and impressive Cathedral as beautiful as I have ever seen. some of the chapels are extraordinary.  What is so surprising is that the building started life as a huge Moorish Mosque That was reclaimed after the Catholic Spanish retrieved it and overlaid the Catholic cathedral  Which remains one of the most important churches in Spain.

We had a visit to Gibraltar but  this had to be curtailed due to very intense rain.  This is a shame as It is certainly a very interesting place with a most peculiar history and culture.  Would have very much liked to have seen more but we get the boat to Morocco tomorrow in the morning. As I write it is a beautiful evening and we are camped on the Atlantic end near to Algeciras of the Gibraltar Strait  watching the waves .  

Lets see what Morocco has in store for us.
