So I was sleeping and I hear a knock on my door "Hija! Es la hora! Es la hora" (Daughter - It's time, it's time!) I flew out of bed, changed quickly, ate breaky and booked it to the bus stop! Not the way I wanted to spend my morn!A two hour bus ride later, we arrived in Segovia. This houses the super awesome Aqueduct of Segovia. They didn't use any glue or mortar to hold it together! It was built between the first and second century AD and it still stands today. It used to run clean water to the city, but it is no longer in use today.
We receive a walking tour of the city. I can't say that I was the most interested in everything the guide had to tell us. We saw their Plaza Mayor, went inside the cathedral, then finished up the tour by going inside the Palace. We ate lunch at tthe top of the palace. Magnificent views of the city!
After we killed an hour of free time, we hopped back on the bus and headed to La Granja. This is an 18th century palace. It holds some of the most gorgeous gardens I have ever seen! It also has a lake and a labyrinth!
At 5:30 we had a fountain show. These fountains don't use electricity... they work somehow only with pressure... idk. All of the fountains represent themes from classical mythology. Pretty.
We headed home an hour later.
I had paella for dinner ans well as tuna. Mayte's mother was there tonight. Gotta love guests!
