Passing under a now unused railway bridge. The sun shade area, masts and even the captains bridge area gas to be lowered in order to negotiate under the bridge.

Very interesting Vic, thank you for sharing your vacation with us sir!:thumbright:
 
Thought I'd return to the forum after many month with the continuation of our 2013 holiday pics. Continuing on up the Douro River we eventually arrived near the Spanish border, so the next venture was a bus ride into Spain and to the university city of Salamanca.

Okay, wasn't sure about loading pics as I've done nothing in this new forum layout so above was just a try out. Here are just a few of the sights of Salamanca.

The main square from a deferent angle to the one in the last post.

A bit of the architecture up close, note the sun shade.

A couple of stork nests which we even saw on the top of power line poles.

One of the wider walking and shopping streets, not sure if the church in the background was part of the university buildings.

Anyone for a ham or sausage sandwich!
