The Tolmo Museum in Toledo, just three minutes walking distance from my house, opened its doors to the public in October 2013. I love the eclectic “chronological mix”, spanning two millennia: The building, a beautiful medieval church, houses a modern art exhibition and there’s remnants of Roman baths in the basement, which can also be viewed.
Part of the door frame (front portal).

It’s very small – but pretty. And only €1.50 to get in. AND they let you take photos 🙂

Bargain!

Love the ‘waaay back when’ and ‘nearly now’ co-mingling. I also love it when you can take pics too! Thanks for sharing as doubtful will get to pop over any time soon….

Not with that ankle 😦 Toledo requires a pair of healthy feet. Soon you’ll be back in the game.

I now have a nifty rubber band and exercises to help strengthen so eventually I wake up able to walk instead of wake up having to limber up the ankle before attempting to do anything…
Wish it was faster though! I wanted to walk all over Tokyo in 10+ days but looks like will still be doing my funny walking but not confident striding. 😦

Ah yes, I know those rubber bands. Aw, shame about missing out on the full Tokyo walking experience. You’ll just have to compensate by eating more!

Don’t ask… am having a pretty good time at the moment and so I just can’t find the impetus… let’s see how I feel after the summer. Unless my landlady manages to sell the place before then.

Well that would provide impetus! I thought life looked good from some of your recent posts – invites to interesting places and lots of cake!

Sounds like a fascinating place. Love the juxtaposition of the modern art in an ancient church.

It had a really cool wall and ceiling, but my pictures didn’t turn out 😦

Did you get down to see the baths?
LikeLike
Yes, they weren’t very exciting. There’s more of them beneath a building just across on the other side of the street, and that part is much better preserved/restored.

‘Like’ and am interested but typo alert 😉
“opened its door so the public…” – you asked last time so I thought I’d do you the favour this time. I’ve only had 4 glasses of wine, 2 Jevers and a mild panic attack. You’re welcome.

Ta! I just read over that, as usual 😉
A panic attack? Did you fall off that swing…?
LikeLike
Nah, I’ve got that down. Paranoid about the bins system – and flushing the toilet. Is that allowed after a certain hour!?
LikeLike
You’ll just have to pee in a bucket…

Argh! Second panic attack!
PS. The 1.99 wine is really nice! 🙂

Go pee. In the toilet. If you’re that worried, don’t flush and leave it till the morning. As a friend of mine is fond of saying “if it’s yellow, let it mellow” 😉
Good. Have another bottle.

Then I’d have to pee more 😉 I will definitely stock up on this stuff though!

Most importantly, was there a tea shop for cake???

Well, if you squint a bit, you can see that there’s two cafes, on either side outside the door 🙂

No danger at all with that one, it’s tinchy (I learned this word from Linda).

What does it mean? I can’t find a definition!

According to Linda (who went for a mad hunt after I queried it), it’s a validated component of Barbadian English…
Personally, I think it’s a typo of “titchy”.
