Hi all,
Hasi is definitely on the mend, as we have just returned to our room for the night and it is after 8.30pm!
We had to move from our accommodation we stayed in last night, as they were fully booked for tonight. It didn't bother me too much as I thought the room was hot, and the bathroom had no ventilation and was very dark, but it's always a hassle looking for accommodation I reckon.
Do you take the first you find, because it's hot and you can't be arsed, or do you keep looking.
I think we had looked at 3 others, when we got to this one. As soon as Hasi saw the upstairs room with balcony, he said yes. The others had been a bit too cell like, where as this is open and light.
Anyway we have truly found the creme de la creme of Granada, the Casa del Agua, the house of water.
It is an amazing old hacienda, with 2 swimming pools in two different courtyards.
We look down from our balcony to the pool and open kitchen.
It is hot and humid here, so is wonderful to come home and jump into the pools.
It is owned by an Irish guy, Gerry, who bought the place in 2010. He is from a small town called Gorey, in the south east of Ireland. He left Ireland in 2009, when hard economic times hit and he was made redundant.
He has done quite a bit to the original hacienda, adding rooms, pools and fences.
He is a very warm and happy guy, and it's always lovely to hear the Irish accent!
We spent the day, strolling around town. The architecture is amazing and of course the buildings so colourful.
Hasi went to the barber for a haircut and shave. His hair is shorter than ever, and his face as smooth as a baby's bottom, as they say. The barber also trimmed his eyebrows, which are usually like a mad scientists, and trimmed hair also from his ears and nose.
I sat and watched and took photos. Great old barber shop!
It's quite a big city of 100,000, and I'm sure most of the population were at the market this morning.
I checked out the second hand shop today. I think most of the people there were quite surprised to see a tourist in there. I came out empty handed, but of course loved rummaging round.
So that today's update.
Love to all,
Zak
