Sunday, April 24: Rest day in Caceres

We played tourist today. We ate breakfast, visited a palace, walked on a section of the walls and had a snack at our favorite coffee shop on the Plaza Mayor. We then visited a church, shopped for sandwiches and fruit and water for dinner. At 3, we went to a restaurant for a very enjoyable lunch. We returned to our hotel and did our laundry and relaxed before an early dinner and bed!
