Another parador panorama

Since everyone enjoyed seeing the fabulous converted fort I went to in Jaen, I thought I'd post a photo of the beautiful parador in Toledo. Didn't stay in this one, we were pre-booked at a converted nunnery, which was also lovely but considerably cheaper. We did pop up for a drink, and here was the view from up there.

Garden Isle no more



When I was in Kauai, it was called the Garden Isle. Now, apparently, locals prefer "Hawaii's Island of Discovery." Must say I was surprised how varied the beautiful island was, and how much there was to see, so perhaps the new nickname is the way to go. Not just gardens, after all!
