Cages for animals and GladiatorsWe finally make it to Granada this morning. To say we are we are exhausted is an understatement. I don't know how baby managed!
Our first order of business is to find a hotel. The first one we go to is full. We didn't know it but there is a festival in town and so most hotels will be full. However, luck is on our side. We found a hotel, named Anacapari, with a receptionist from the US who found pity on us. She gave us a large room off the lobby for a great rate!
Finally we are able to sleep. I struggle to have a peaceful sleep because I feel like we are wasting our time when we should be out sight seeing.
And that is exactly what we did when we woke up. First I must dig out the sweater I just bought in Valencia. Thank goodness. It is freezing in Granada. We would later see snow capped mountains.
We start our explorations by walking the main plaza of course and then getting on the hop on/off bus.
This evening we spend time getting in touch with our families in what is our first real chance at an internet connection.
We also spend time watching TV in Spanish. It quite fun watching Sex in the City in Spanish.
Travel tip: Be prepared for all types of weather when traveling in the Mediterranean in November

Mary was super helpful and patient. Answered every question and with candor (answers of “Everything’s equally great” aren’t helpful! 😎).

The trip planner I worked with, Jane, was excellent. She had travelled to Antarctica twice and was the voice of experience as she explained travel options to me. I've travelled internationally for many years for many years for business and pleasure including a number of adventure trips. It is a delight to work with such an experienced planner. I've used Adventure Life for three trips, Costa Rica, Galapagos and upcoming, Antarctica. I highly recommend them.

Clara was great to work with. She presented lots of options and always responded promptly. And she found excellent options within our price range.
