exciting episode Today March we were off to Granada or the Scenic caves Ihc choice was up to you For those who to Granada wo found It a fascinating worth whllo trip Driving through Torrcmetlnos and Malaga at early hours we were shown various sections of these towns as we continued on the highway leading into tho mountains To our astonishment we found that our bus driver enjoyed taking his passengers on a joy with steep cliffs and drops on either side think that prayers were constantly said as wo drove higher Into the heavens The drive Itself lasted for many hours Whllo driving along magnificent scenery slipped by Everything from boys riding donkeys and farmers ploughing the fields with donkeys to women washing clothes In the public washing trough was seen Small towns After a wild ride through rough terrain our bus stopped at a roadside restaurant Then we passed through small quaint towns such as tho one where a section of the film Lawrence of Arabia was filmed Personally had the that Granada was to be a quiet small country hamlet but was I mistaken To my surprise It was a bustling city of over one quarter million people Our first stop was to the cathedral of Granada the actual burial place of King Ferdinand Queen Isabella Once Inside we were shown the glass cases lined with the crown Jewels and an robes of past kinds We were driven to a shop where various leather and lace goods could be bought From here wo were taken to dinner We found our dining room a small cosy place decorated In rustic fur With the several courses of meal over we were escorted to the old and ancient Moorish palace Splendid palace Once In this massive edifice we were guided through Chess club In last week matches at the Acton Chess Club Gerry Goskcr defeated A Magyar 1 Bill won by the same score over Garrett Mark Pratt rang up three in a row from D Thompson and H came back to win two straight from Moss Ted Newman first beat Ralph Williams then Steve Garrett by Identical 1 scores G Gray won over J Huxley 30 then split a set with J Huxley returned to gain a verdict over T Coles and Lynn Perry later defeated Able Boss Those who left early missed some excellent Instruction from T

rooms all splendid In construction Surrounding the palace beautiful and Intricate gardens were well kept In tho numerous small courts orange trees could be seen Wo were led back to our bus In order to make It back home in time for dinner Once again wo experienced the wild driving of our bus driver Unfortunately our exciting day had come to an end but we were tired and longed for bed We learned that
