SUNDAY 8th November
Up and away early today to catch the train
to Cadiz. Some observations on the train journey include:
Flat farmland. Olives near Seville. Prickly Pear cactus. Large agave in flower.
Cattle egrets. Concrete irrigation channels. Hen Harrier ring tail. Solar
farms. Then later low bare hills. Winter
fields. Jerez. Harvey ' Bristol Cream.
Fantastic tiled station building. No sign of vineyards. Near coast salt pans
and salt mountains. Black winged stilts on incredibly long legs. Stork nests on
top of pylons birds now in Africa. Finally salt Marsh. Little egret. Across isthmus
to Cadiz.
What a fabulous place Cadiz is. All dazzling white buildings and turquoise
sea. We followed the walk in the guide
book, which ensured that we enjoyed wonderful sea views from the walls, as well
as seeing the narrow straight streets of the old town. Views of the cathedral from the seafront were
stunning as were the views from the very interesting camera obscura. We even managed a walk on the beach with a
paddle and some sea glass collecting. A
beautiful sunset gave more photogenic views before catching the train home at
7.40.
Yet another day of fantastic weather.
