Kevnjan's new adventure.

Mon. 5th. Nov. The rain stopped last night. Hooray~!! Spoke to Ian last night and he complained that it’s rained for days and has been constantly grey. Makes us feel better. The sun shone today and we walked into Aranquez. It has been a perfect Autumn day of the type you long for in England. The sun shone from a clear blue sky and we walked through a vast park of stunning beauty, full of red squirrels, peacocks and all manner of ducks and geese. There is an amazing mix of statues, fountains and monuments. The trees are turning golden and orange and you could be forgiven for thinking that you were actually in England. I’ll put some pics on Facebook. We walked to the palace, an enormous edifice set in wonderful grounds. Disappointed that it’s closed on Mondays so couldn’t explore inside. Still we’re getting over the Palazza Real in Madrid, so we’ll get over it. Had lunch out and we had our first doughnuts since leaving England. We really are quite virtuous these days!! Aranquez doesn’t rate a mention in the the Lonely Planet guide which is a shame because I’d recommend it, especially on a day like today.
