We really enjoyed our rest day in Merida. We spent considerable time in the Roman Amphitheatre, the adjacent Roman Theatre and the nearby museum, an impressive modern building housing a remarkable collection of Roman artefacts. Later we were in the crypt of St Eulalia, looked at the Hippodrome through a fence and walked through Trajan's Arch. At night we were able to attend the vigil Mass at 8:30 in the mediaeval church beside our hotel. Afterwards we splashed out on a wonderful meal, eaten outdoors in the grounds of the hotel, separated by wrought iron railings from the hundreds of locals enjoying their Saturday night out. The extravagance, and the rest day, was accounted for by the fact that we were celebrating our 45th wedding anniversary.
