6 – 15 February 2020 Calpe

Enjoyed our time with our friend Brenda visiting a few more places while we had the car. Drove her back to Alicante airport where she spent a lot of time due to problems. We drove back picked up friends to go to Java again for lunch. We are resting up a bit from exercise as Maureen has damaged her leg. I am managing a run every other day and we walk until her leg hurts then coffee and people watch on the promenade.

Tried a short cycle to see friends that have just arrived in Calpe from the UK.

Family joined us for lunch in Calpe but unfortunately we picked a bad restaurant again see below.

Visited for lunch today, great starter, served by a waiter with a sense of humour then a main course from hell the ribs were terrible if I was telling you how to cook it tenderize for 4 hours every day for a week then on the last day forget to turn the oven off till next morning then on the day of serving reheat with a large blowtorch for 1 hour and serve while still warm then attempted to eat with a chainsaw. To sum it up it was overcooked I did attempt to eat it but luckily the starter was substantial to fill me. I finished with ice cream. At 10 Euros I think OK you get what you pay for?

There seems to be a problem with trip advisor down here some of the restaurants don’t have up to date reviews and the best restaurants are all Indian and oriental?

Had a train ride down to Benidorm it was very busy with lots of people on the beach.

Van washing day, the vans each side of us have had a wash and polish by the campsite handyman 4 hours! but us poor Yorkshire folk did it in an hour and it still looks as FAB

Police on the beach today removing dog owners and loose dogs and taking their details.

Below a picture of cakes Yummy.
