It's just a philodendron of some variety. Bill will fill in the rest I'm sure.

Cirque du Soleil could make good use of this, permanently.

You mean there weren't signs for the toilet pointing you in a direction and then they led you outside and off towards the forest and then there were no more signs? Talk about no TP. There was no T.

Yes, it is. Technically brilliant too, constructed from billions of tiny tiles.

Oh, we do have our hardships too. The free, clean public WC we patronized yesterday didn’t have TP. We’re not ones to whine though; we just deal with it.

I suppose they have free, clean, non-squat toilets here too, pfft.

Look at that writing. Gorgeous.

It was from Seville to Granada and it was quite a busy time - the bus was fully booked. Our bikes were a lot bigger too. I should imagine it wouldn't be so much of a problem this late in the season and given you didn't have a problem on this bus trip? It was an ALSA bus and perhaps they are stricter. We bought some cheap bike covers on Amazon.

I’m surprised to hear you had to wrap your bikes for a bus ride. Where were you traveling from and to? We’re considering taking the bus from Murcia to Valencia at the end of our tour, and hadn’t thought about needing to wrap them.

Yay, glad you easily loaded your bikes on the bus!
We were in Malaga at the beginning of December last year (a trip over from Dublin where my husband was doing some work). The weather was warm then too. Don't miss those roasted almonds you'll see everywhere. I salivate at the thought of them.

I wouldn't say significantly higher but definitely looked worse than the photo you posted, enough for us not to be game to attempt to cross it. No, I didn't get a photo :-(
I can't believe how cold it's become in just 4 weeks since we were there!
I'm actually just reading your Cordoba post and haven't got to your bus trip yet. We had to take our bikes on the bus too but they insisted on them being wrapped which luckily I knew about, so we came prepared with some cheap black bike covers. It was quite an effort getting them in and we were worried for the whole bus ride that we had damaged them.
It's wonderful being able to revisit our trip. We're still talking about it Beautiful photos on the excursion you took from Cordoba!

Oh, my gosh. I can’t believe that was the same road you were talking about! That’s really amazing. I feel pretty stupid for not connecting the dots on that. What a long day you had then!

So the water must have been significantly higher then? I was worried about the river when we first came to it, but it really wasn’t difficult to pass through. Did you take a photo of it?

I took much delight in reading this entry, and as I began I thought yikes the biking app is taking them to the River Carbones, where our day completely unravelled. But you crossed it! We were unable to traverse it and had to double back to the SE 226. None of our apps either would allow us to take the A-4 which was the most direct path (are bikes not allowed on these main roads). Our only choice was to go back down the SE 226 (which we loved also, not so much the second time) and either go up the sand road with the 2 stone pillars you've stopped to take a picture or head nearly all the way back to Fuentes de Andalucia and then turn right onto the road heading to Marchena which we decided to do. This ended up on another dirt track that went for 17km and thankfully, very thankfully we arrived on the main road before we got pummelled by the hail storm. Glad you had some photos to look at, this was more than we got to see!

I’ve got them down pretty well too, since you see them everywhere over here - along with rough, irregular surfaces. Who knows what happened this time? I blame the fact that I hadn’t had coffee yet, but if you do anything a million times, eventually something misfires. The luck is having it happen without a grim outcome.

I'm glad you got off lucky on your stair incident!

Both flights of stairs in our townhouse have corners like that, so I'm very used to them. I also need to carry my bike up and down every time I go for a ride and I've learned that it's way easier if the bike is on the inside of the corner (both for safety and for keeping the walls cleaner).
