Yet another road trip with Nod

[Nick]

I DON'T BELIEVE IT!! I have just had to teach Nod to use a recycling bin 

We move on tomorrow and Nod volunteered to take out the rubbish, mainly wine bottles 

I pointed out the 4 large recycling bins on the opposite side of the road. He reappeared with the rubbish, declaring that the bins are all sealed. We went back down in the lift and I marched him to the OTHER SIDE of the bins where there were apertures for bottles, rubbish, cardboard and so on 

He is an utter clown. And he is STILL trying to speak Italian

Just found Nod shouting at the corkscrew. He CANNOT work it out

Today we are driving to Segovia 

[Nick]

Finally in Segovia despite Nod's utter navigational incompetence 

Hotel car park is one of those robot jobs where the car disappears on a lift and gets stacked underground

You won't see that again...

If he'd locked guess who in it then that could be a result

Is Nod good for anything?

Being Nick's only friend...?

Is Nod good for anything?

Making Nick look less like a disaster magnet...?

OK. One for Miss D

I last came here 30 years ago, but had forgotten how stunning it is:

1. Sunny and warm with snowcapped mountains around
2. Fabulous (and cheap at 30 Euros) sort of boutique hotel bang in the centre
3. Beautiful Plaza Mayor with added cathedral
4. Astounding Roman viaduct (no mortar, held together by its own weight)
5. Medieval walls
6. Found fantastic little restaurant down a backstreet:

Lunch: Roast peppers stuffed with salt cod
Perfectly cooked sirloin steak
Choc truffle mousse with toasted almonds
Bottle of wine
Coffee

10 Euros 

Nod said his cod was perfect and tried Tiramisu for the first time

Went over the road to a delightful square and found a little bar wide open but unstaffed. Eventually restaurant owner appeared (it was his bar) and we ordered coffee and brandy. He gave that to us gratis 

This place is STUNNING!!

We have pics!     great stuff Nick

But does that look like you've trusted Nod with a metal knife and fork?

I maintained a safe distance
