This aqueduct in Segovia is one of the most impressive things I’ve ever seen! It is 2000 years old, and brought water into the city until the mid twentieth century.

Segovia is an easy day trip from Madrid, and one that is not to be missed!

It’s my last day in the UK, and we’re going out on a high note! We toured Edinburgh Castle, which is so gorgeous and has the most amazing views! And, we got to have tea while we were there. I loved today and every day of this trip! I’m so sad to go home tomorrow. I already can’t wait to come back!
