Weekend in Jerez de la Frontera - Part 3

These posts probably should have started with Part 1 - 3 instead of 3 - 1, live with it...

Sunday, sadly, time to return to Sevilla. We pack up by 11:30, leave our gear in the palace and go for tostada breakfast, still no churros but that’s okay. Sun is shining and it’s warm under the palm trees waving gently in the breeze, what could be better? 

Just lovely!
Go back to collect our gear, because cleaners are coming in for the next guests and have a drink at the first restaurant we were in on Friday, that fellow and wife are so friendly! Bruce wheels to the train station.

Such a beautiful train station! 
Bruce wheels to/from accommodations to the train stations when it is easier than finding a wheelchair equipped taxi. Freiburg, always if staying downtown with the change over, Ghent, with specific instructions from a taxi driver that took pity on us, Bruges, when he had an actual map, Jerez when the map provided didn’t work for him but his grandmother always said you have a mouth, use it, and ask, both ways he had to ask multiple times but arrived. Although I went to check for his arrival at the palace and saw him a block away and had to chase him to direct him to the right spot. Well this method is fraught with misguidance but he always seems to get there and that’s good! 

Amigos!

This is the building we were standing in front of.
Great night shot!
Train back to Sevilla an hour, under bright skies. Fields along the way are so very green right now, it’s a pretty trip. There is a taxi for wheelchairs at the train station! We grab it and we’re home in good time. 

Funny, interior of the cab is quite small and A & R had used Louis’s hard cover case as both a suitcase and his bed when in the flat. Angela carries him in a small bag, small dog, and he was wheezing in the cab. We get close to home and the cab driver can’t tell where the noise is coming from, thinking Louis is in the hard case, carefully steadying it around corners. Joke on him, we all laughed. 

Comparing Jerez to Sevilla, probably not fair, they are similar but also very different and I truly like both. Since we didn’t sample Jerez’s true specialties, as mentioned before, we may have missed out a bit but truly didn’t feel like it.

Thanks to Ryan and Angela for doing all the organization and the pictures!

All for now, Cheers Bx2 and Lexi Cat
