Nature and Sherry

Last nights accommodation was in Le Pousada De Mengh on the outskirts of Sanlucar de Barrameda, it was an immaculately clean family run guest house with rooms at 20 euros per night, the only draw back was the dogs barked until dawn and then the cockerels took over. Today's visit to the Donana National Park was very touristy and curtailed due to lack of numbers, but it was an interesting trip up the Guadalquivir River in the good ship Real Fernando a steamer straight out of The African Queen.




I have been a good boy so far and not gone for an afternoon bodega crawl, I will start  later. I have no real plans for tomorrow on-wards, I'll just see where I end up.

  1. Dogs barked until dawn and then the cockerels took over, I know that sound only too well from Romania! A few drinks does the trick.

  2. Coffee is a little later this morning .. Retired is a busy life, ho hum !!
    20 euros/ night .. You should start a blog !
    Only suggestion is to feed the bloody chickens to the dogs, dogs choke on chicken bones ... Sorted.
    Shame about the Africa Queen boat trip should have hired a canoe, we did that on the Dordogne bloody great, that national park looked good .. ah well next time.
    No plans sounds just like the right plan, enjoy the bodega crawl.
    Found a new pub just outside Llandudno, the Queens Head, so that will take care of lunch one day when you get back ... Enjoy the plan, I know I do :D))
    Steady as you go
