We have had a splendid day. After some domestics (including successfully using the local washing machine) Ben collected us about 1130. After he admired our stately home (without noticing the national flags on our flagpole) he drove us into the city to view the bridge at Burgo (where an important rearguard action was fought) then on through Elvina (completely built up now) then on to the Jardin de San Carlos where there is a moving tribute to Sir John Moore. We paid our respects, had a memorable tapas lunch in the Ciudad Viejo followed by a long visit to the military museum. Satiated but humbled, we wandered down to the harbour and bamboozled our way into the Real Club Nautico De Coruna for a glass of Albarino and purchase of a team shirt. Marvellous.
About Us
- Moore and McD - 2009
- Chris Moore (66) and Al McDicken (64), known for blog purposes as M1 and M2 respectively, are both recently retired and have secured permission from their respective ladies to go on a Grand Tour around Europe. The trip may take between 4 and 6 months but by staying in Europe in our 'gap' tour the girls will be able to visit and we can return home as needed. The tour is 'with bikes' not 'on bikes' and is self-indulgent with no begging bowl for charities. We have not yet secured advance TV or publishing contracts!
