Arriving in Cadiz

This morning it is cooler, about 15 degrees when I leave the hotel

J and I arrive at Santa Justa Station at the same time, bumping into each other, I don't know how this hombre does it

He is even worse than me for orientation and does not appear to have a male brain

!!! 

The walk from the hotel took me ten minutes, in contrast to that hot hour yesterday  

We have breakfast and I buy J a tarjeta dorada and get our tickets

The weather is gorgeous as we approach Cádiz (for the umpteenth time) with excitement 

We arrive in the heat of the day. Podemos is in charge of the town hall and giving all the right messages

I am ensconsed now having initially been put at the front of the hotel by the noisy road.  I put my foot down, as had requested the back and a higher floor on booking six months ago.  Eventually got changed to the back, but on the ground floor and I have to pay quite a big supplement.  Massive complaint coming on.   I had to wait one hour so I stored my stuff with J and we went to beach.  I got in the sea, how amazing, such release!  The culmination of the journey and one of the  best things about Cadiz. 

Quite a few people were in there.  I chatted with a man who asked me if I was Italian!  ? He reckons the sea is best at this time of year, a nicer temperature than August.  It's 20 degrees.  

J is in the new nicer building because 'he is staying longer', also at the front but it is the third floor and there is good sound proofing.  He has nice view, they have improved the square with parquecito where the kids play to all hours.   All in all I feel settled and happy now.    

We had a tapas just now and will go out for another about 8.   

I am feeling tired but relaxed in Cadiz. So glad I don't have to rush in the morning and we only have two hours school.
