Cadiz at last: Day 3

Another late start!   This is the most laid back holiday, what with late starts and long siestas!  

Inside the museum

Still hot outside, though maybe a tad cooler than yesterday.  Our first stop was the Cadiz Museum, just around the corner from the flat.   Cool and quiet inside with a small collection of fine art, modern art and archaeology.  The museum is arranged around an open courtyard.   Made me feel slightly vertiginous!

We spent about an hour there and then headed across the Plaza de Mina  for coffee.  We stopped to buy a fan for Laura (spoiler alert, if you're reading this Laura!)   From there we walked to the Tavira Tower, but the map was misleading and we wandered about not quite finding it at first.  Eventually we stumbled on it.   Can't see the camera obscure without being on a guided tour, so we've booked ourselves on the tour for tomorrow morning - I couldn't face the climb up the tower today!   Then to the nearby central market, where we bought our rolls and two oranges, and back to the flat for lunch.  Simon What'sApped us so we had a long chat with him.

A little later we went on a short shopping trip for shoes for Peter (unsuccessful) another couple of fans (the choices are not great) and two bottles of Manzanilla sherry, which we are re-developing a taste for.   Then back to the flat to drop off the purchases and enjoy another glass of our host's wine and some tortilla chips before heading out for supper.  

The restaurant Casa Lazo

After much research we chose a busy looking place not far from the market, Casa Lazo.  We were amongst the earlier diners (at 8.30pm) but it soon filled up.   The waiter had all the dishes in colour on his phone!   It wasn't a sophisticated menu but we enjoyed calamari and octopus as starters with our sherry, then cod in a tasty sauce with a few limp chips for main course with a glass of white wine.  Deserts were non existent but we had some ice cream thingy straight from the packet!   We'd forgotten there was an ice cream place just round the corner!
