After a 30 minute ride, we reached Jerez, the sherry capital of Spain. We saw many beautiful wineries and streets lined with orang trees or jacaranda trees.
After viewing the lava fields, we enjoyed a stop at the Bodegas Rubicon, where we tasted some of the local wine and cheese. The vineyards here are very different looking-vines are planted inside semicircular lava stone walls in rows. The wine is refreshing and we brought back a few bottles to enjoy on the ship. I’ve included some pictures of the winery, which was very beautiful.
This was the tour I was most anticipating. I remember being introduced to JRR Tolkien’s books in high school by Anne Ryan snd Rosemary Gladden. They have been my favorite books forever, so thank you ladies! This certainly fulfilled all my expectations and even exceeded them. I’m sure I’ll be posting many, many pictures ! I’ll start with some of the Hobbit houses-
On Saturday, some of our fellow Village travelers got together for dinner in the Pinnacle Grill onboard. We had such a great time that we decided to make it a monthly event !
