Dunhuang. Mogao Caves and Camel ride!

Posted on May 22, 2017 by Vulcan MG — 1 Comment

This morning was a relaxing one. A late breakfast which was really brunch….followed by some printing of documents and a visit to China post to courier them …with the hotel’s car! A great help!

At 1.20 we assembled to drive to Magao caves for the two films. Very interesting!

After returning to the hotel late afternoon, Ian and I returned to the sand dunes to ride camels. This was my wish and Ian accompanied me! A great end to the day!

Peter and Paula Return - Another Silk Road Shared

ART dream

Wine and more architecture

Wine and More Wine – OleBilbao OLD and NEW Monday dawned sunny and warm and we headed down to the Guggenheim Museum, even though it is closed we wanted to relish the slick titanium skin, contrasted against the smooth pale limestone blocks. Everything glistened in the bright morning sun, reflections of the curved surfaces bounced off the water surrounding the metal walls and the metallic sculptures in the forecourts around the Guggenheim. Did you know that every surface in the building is curved and there are no straight lines thus emphasising the organic flowing lines of this magnificent Frank Gehry masterpiece Tomorrow we’ll visit this amazing museum along with our Silk Road companions Pat and David who we are travelling with around Spain and Portugal in our trusty MGs. Hop on and off buses have always been a favourite and quick way of acquainting ourselves with a city. We cruised around the narrow streets enjoying the views from the top deck. We were diverted by police a few times into the back streets because of a rally of thousands of people marching along the main thoroughfare of the city. Red, white and Green flags and banners waving, fire crackers exploding, releasing clouds of smoke. How We hopped off a The Mercado de la Ribera one of the largest fresh food markets in Europe and we arrived just in time for some Pintxos which we enjoyed with a beer and Sangria. So many delicious sweet and savoury munchies to choose from – what a treat!
