It was very expensive, and to be honest not a patch on our lovely hotel in 1971.<br /><br />I know what you mean about seeing unspoiled and trouist free parts of the country. Particularly in northern spain, on our own, and not a word of Spanish! <br /><br />But more of that later.<br /><br />Thanks for the commentsthistlebarrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00077298970769942656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6830613445295267529.post-77183792518263031162009-04-12T10:15:00.000-07:002009-04-12T10:15:00.000-07:00The way you described your hunt for a hotel remind...The way you described your hunt for a hotel reminded me of our first night in Cairo!!<BR/><BR/>I look forward to reading more. I will probably never get to see the Napoleonic battlefields so this will be a treat - thanks for doing it.Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05618832228050099757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6830613445295267529.post-8169927923483398132009-04-09T14:30:00.000-07:002009-04-09T14:30:00.000-07:00I suppose people do find accomodation at Waterloo ...I suppose people do find accomodation at Waterloo but we also had a problem and ended up in Mons. Which (as they say) was nice. One of the joys of travelling battle fields is that you see unspoiled and tourist free parts of the country.<BR/><BR/>A little too tourist free sometimes. As the farmer who reversed at speed out of his drive and broadsided my car at Salamanca said; 'but Senor no one comes down here.'<BR/><BR/>look forward to reading more of your travels.<BR/><BR/>Johnjohnpreecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05548014163096067684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6830613445295267529.post-91006432212834202932009-04-09T04:59:00.000-07:002009-04-09T04:59:00.000-07:00Nice ;)Nice ;)*LillaVi*https://www.blogger.com/profile/03686051880263980656noreply@blogger.com
