A long day today (after a few quite lazy days). We were on the bus at 7am for the two hour trip to Salamanca - first winding up, out of the valley, then across fairly flat green plains marked by scattered stork nests on constructed poles.

Salamanca turned out to be a beautiful university city full of medieval yellow sandstone buildings and an immense gothic cathedral. We got a fairly painless guided tour then wandered the streets for a couple of hours.

After lunch we got more free time and walked to the Roman pedestrian bridge and then around some more streets. The drive back took three hours because the ship seems to be on a tight schedule and had already started downstream. After we boarded it kept going until sunset.
