SP18 - Day 5

Spoke too soon about last meal in Mérida. Claire ill in the night. Usually that's my job.

Luckily I was able to add a night here tonight and cancel the Badajoz hotel.

A visit to the pharmacy along the road to get some pills was easy enough with Google Translate's assistance.

Was after lunch when we got out with Claire feeling better we set off for Badajoz.

In hindsight we might not have needed to cancel the hotel. Better safe than sorry.

Parked near Alcazaba and went in the tourist information centre. It started to drizzle as we walked the Alcazaba walls.







From up here you can see across the rooftops to the river and down into the Plaza Alta.



As we sat having a drink it started to rain hard and we sat it out. It didn't last long and we continued our walk and back to the car.

A stop for an in-car picnic before heading back to Mérida the longer prettier way.

Evening in. Claire tired after illness and lack of sleep and food.

Tomorrow we head up the road to Cáceres.
