Tired

You know this is an AMAZING trip. Once in a lifetime, as people keep saying to us. We are v lucky (and of course it is never all luck). So here we are, in this beautiful city Granada, and mostly what I have felt is tiredness. Maybe it is being away and moving so much, maybe it is being on parent duty so much more than ever before (our first night out without the little people in 3 months last night), or maybe it is just age creeping up. Why doesn't really matter, but it is important to sometimes just be tired and be ok about it, so we are doing just that.

We are staying at a groovy hostel (an Oasis again), so it is friendly and nice and there are cool things like tapas tours and paella nights. People are wonderful with the children and they are having lots of fun. We just get guilty for moments that we haven't seen the Alhambra yet, or discovered more of the city - but I remind myself that it is about the journey as much as the destination, as the cliches go, That we learn as much by being here and just being in a different environment as we do seeing the REAL sights.

Ok - introspection over... We will got to the Alhambra tomorrow and then we will leave Granada and hopefully, if my booking goes through, we will be staying in a cave b and b tomorrow in Guadiz - yay! Henry will be very excited. Bella will too, but she is excited by most things - Henry is a more discerning customer in some ways, or really they are just discerning about different things.

Conrad keeps coming back with 2 euro cocktails from the bar here, so I will have a tiredness excuse tomorrow - a hangover. Wine etc is very cheap here, it kind of freaks me out. I have trouble bringing myself to buy a 1 euro 50 bottle of vino tinto, and invariably pay 4 or 5, which Conrad thinks is crazy but still seems very cheap to me...and it is generally very good wine.
