Up in the mountains

Andalusia has it all: kilometers of coastline and great mountains. Today we went along serpentines to an altitude of 1,500 m above sea level to eat a typical country lunch. The dishes are difficult to describe. The offer was mainly for meat eaters, but we also managed to bite something. A bit cold...

Towards the sea

Five hours by car from Madrid - and we are on the Mediterranean Sea! We reached Torre del Mar, where our friends had purchased a beautiful building plot. Tomorrow there will be more about this new place. For now, we are enjoying the temperature of 18°C and walking on the beach and in the city. Fi...

The Nine Arch Bridge

Not far from Ulla, in the morning, in the rain, drove to see  The Nine Arch Bridge/viaduct. This is the world famous train route from Ulle to Colombo and a great tourist attraction. Despite the bad weather (it rains constantly here in the mountains), we couldn't miss this place. ​Every day, grou...

The Tea Train

Sri Lanka = tea! We all know that, but experiencing a stay among tea fields (even in the rain), seeing the (British) technology of tea processing until it is sold, is a considerable dose of knowledge and gaining respect for the hard-working women on the plantation. From Nuvara Elija we tooka tra...
