You haven’t seen the amount of stuff we travel with! Beer bottles would just add to the confusion.
Happy Australia Day! xx

The bit at the other end from the altar was open, the rest was blocked off. As it had been San Sebastian Day the previous day, I think there were probably some major services there then.
Oh yes, cobblestones – we hated them when we walked in Portugal, and whenever it rains here, there are puddles everywhere as the cobbled paths are so uneven. xx

Do you have to pay to go into the Cathedral? as we now have to in the UK . Hope it stops raining soon . Be very careful of all those cobbled streets . A complete nightmare for me with back problems. x
