After this it was time for the girls to go shopping and for me to see some sights. My first port of call was the Roman Theatre discovered only in 1988. It has had a lot of restoration work done and was a big thrill to see something built 2000 years ago. I got to stand on the stage - it is quite a big theatre. After this I went to the Civil War Museum - there was not really that much to see, but interesting nonetheless. After this I went up to the Castillo de la ConcepciĆ³n, which is one of the high points overlooking the city - fantastic views, especially of the port and the Roman Theatre from above. Final port of call was to the Carrefour Supermarket on the edge of the city - a massive shop with good value. Dinner was in the nearby Foster´s Hollywood restaurant. Very ordinary and not recommended.
Thinking and ranting out loud - my own thoughts and comments written whenever the mood takes me. Nothing is safe, Chop Chop!
