The clan met and ate and drank until midnight. Today was a slow starter with some not rising until 10:30.

We have come in peace take us to your leader |
The first challenge of the day was for Suzie and Kate to return Suzie's hire care. Only take half hour or so.
We all headed off for breakfast on their return at about 12:30. Coffee was high on the agenda. Here'll do. Step in sit down decide lunch is the go. First a coffee. We were laughed at "..no, no,no now is the time for beer" the waiter told us as he tapped his watch.

From the bell tower of the Cathedral |
Lunch out of the way we found a place to have coffee and then eventually found the Cathedral. The same old story what was once a mosque becomes a christian church (except here it became the 3rd largest Cathedral in Europe. though what the Muslims did when they first arrived ?invaded I'm not sure. Must look it up) The only remnants of the mosque is the Orange square. It's a beautiful space with a central fountain that was also the source of the irrigation water that flowed through the geometric channels to each orange tree.
We climbed the bell tower via ramps rather than stairs. The views are fantastic. Everyone tended to focus on a few roof top swimming pools at first (jealous in the 36 degree heat). Being able to get a 360 view of city helps orientate you. Well so I thought, as we promptly got lost heading back to the apartment.

We ate together in the communal kitchen and then went for a walk and a late night tapas snack before bed. Doing a bike tour in the morning.
