The journey further inland to Cordoba went well. The buses are so comfortable and we have been lucky to date having most of the back to ourselves which means the boys can shriek and carry on without too much disturbance to our fellow passengers. The scenery was much greener with flat grassy farmlands stretching as far as we could
see on either side of the road. Cordoba is really hot and really fabulous - I love it. I said to Paul it feels like a compact and much more accessible version of Rome. All the sights are walking distance and yesterday we oohed and aahed over Jesuit buildings and magnificent Cathedrals. The detail in the workmanship is amazing, they really dont build em like that anymore. Negotiating the broken tiled or cobbled pavements is a mission with the two strollers but we are getting used to it as are the boys. Speaking of whom they love Cordoba because of the MCDonalds with the awesome playground. Paul and I are quite fond of it too as the boys played happily in it for 2 hours yesterday. Needless to say we will be visiting it again today. We are off to an indoor food market for lunch apparently it has everything from shell fish to whole pigs. Tomorrow we are going to catch a bus to Alta Gracia the small town where Che Guevara spent his teen years near here. x
