Did the earth move for me ? Well the ship certainly did.
So we were slightly late arriving in La Coruna in Spain, but we were off on an Estuary and Garden tour. By the time we had boarded the coach, the rain had started to fall.
Our first stop was at Hercules Tower, a light house our guide was very proud of.
The weather at this point had taken a turn for the worst, and we were both cold and wet, and wished we had worn our fleeces under our water proof jackets.
But we were soon back to the warmth of the coach and on to our next stop Pazo de Marina, a now government owned mansion and garden.
Even through the drizzle, the gardens were a joy to walk around, although the going was a little bit tough on those passengers with walking difficulties.
And so on to our last stop of Bentanzos a charming little city were we had a walking tour, and then some free time. Now I know it's a bit of a British trait, that we like to keep people informed, but I think that stopping our guide in mid flow about the history of a Church, to tell her " I'm going to the toilet" was a bit OTT.
We even found a local band practising in a church
And so it was a sleepy return to Braemar, to just scrape into the buffet for lunch before it closed.
Let's hope for some better weather tomorrow :-)
It was then time for the 60/70/80 quiz, we were joined by Glo and David from our table in out quest for FO prize points. Four teams tied for 1st place, including us, so it was down to the tie breaker, and .......
We won !!! And so added to our point total. If we keep going at this rate, we might even get a key ring ;-)
