    I love art nouveau stuff. Always been a favourite style of mine. Ha ha, did you think he was saying frig it!😆 The colour of that water was beautiful. Dare I say it, but that looked better inside than the Colesseum in Rome.

    • @TheBabblingBrookes
      @TheBabblingBrookes  2 года назад +1

      Art nouveau is always a very beautiful style to admire, something so elegant about it for me. Derren’s favourite is anything constructed by the romans, and Italy/Rome is on our list to visit…but next trip or two. This one was a tester to see what it’s like to spend so long in Europe over winter. Yes I did think he was saying frig it 🤣🤣🤣😍

    • @TheBabblingBrookes
      @TheBabblingBrookes  2 года назад +2

      It would be far simpler if there was some way to find out there and then on the statues. They are there for a reason after all, but it’s just a name. Then spend ages googling in Spain for website’s that are in Spanish and having to use precious data allowance….rant over 🤣 The theatre was just stunning, and our cup of tea of places to see👍 The peacocks still not taking a chance 🤣🤣👍😍

      @@GENerationXplorers we were heading to Granada, but the snow capped mountains and minus figures on the weather radar…..put us off. It’s quite cold inland this time of year, and we were in the desert, but got icicles on the motorhome😱🥶 So going to leave the inland stuff for later this year as we can get here in October, so much warmer weather to experience all the places we want to visit. Plus there has been really heavy snow in the north of Spain, so we are putting it off travelling north until we have to go back 😜

    Loved loved loved Cartagena! We went there on a cruise in November 2019. Toulon in France was very similar with the blurred out parts on google maps as they have a naval base too. Doesn’t seem to be blurred out on SearchforSites though! We did a 10 k run out towards Cala Cortina beach (to the west) and once back and changed headed up to the Castle for the amazing views and we had to smile to ourselves as you were filming in the roman theatre and noticed the people walking past at the top, as that is exactly what we did and looked in. So nice to watch this video a reminisce, thank you 😊 x

    • @TheBabblingBrookes
      @TheBabblingBrookes  2 года назад +1

      Oooh, I don’t tend to use satellite view on searchforsites….don’t know why as it would make more sense 🤣 We loved Cartagena, and will 100% go back as I want to do a lot more there. Some local lads told us about a hike up into the mountains between Cartagena and Mazarrón, said it’s a very tough one, but absolutely worth the effort 👍
      I did think to myself that I can’t believe we just paid €6 each to get in…but then people are walking around above outside and getting probably a far better view of the theatre for free, rather than us paying to be in it 🤣 😍xx
