SP18 - Day 4.4
Post siesta. The last two sites.
Firstly, the Circus.
The site is massive. It was built around AD20 and before the amphitheatre and theatre.
A huge flag flying outside.
And then to the Casa del Mitreo. A Roman villa complex with mosaic floors and painted walls.
Excavations continue around the site and they have another huge field next door to expand the site if need be.
It's hard not to be wowed by the different sites.
The sheer amount of work that they (slaves?) Put into everything...2000 years ago.
We headed back to Roma and parked near the Lusitania bridge and had our last dinner in Mérida.
This time a different restaurant.
It was about 9.30pm when we left the square and headed to bed.
Parking the Polo in the garage we were joined by some bikes.
I was a little jealous!!!
