So much more than a Cathedral - Toledo - The Bhatia/Heinrich tour Day 9

This morning we got a bit of a later start because first we had to visit the embassy to get Ila's replacement documentation. So Richard agreed to meet us a bit later and then we headed off to Toledo. With Richard's expert guiding we stopped first for a panorama over the Tajo River into the walled city. After a quick stop at the awe-inspiring Puerta de Bisagra, the tour began in earnest. Visits to the Jewish Quarter, the Church of Sant Juan de los Reyes and the synagogues. After a refreshing lunch the tour continued to the Cathedral and the Plaza de Zocodovar.

Richard led the group through the maze of streets with ease and by the time we got to the car it was very clear that Toledo was a definite hit. A relaxing night at the hotel and tomorrow we are off to Segovia!
