Some washing then Paul and Patsy picked us up and we went to the motorhome show at Alicante Airport then into Alicante for lunch. Picked a bad restaurant this time Restaurant Palmitas not good at All a complete waste of money. We probably picked it so we could sit outside so that we didn’t get locked in this time!!!!

Started to get rid of our colds Maureen running well and we have both started cycling again with a good cycle up to Gran Alicant and a 3 hour cycle down to Family in Rojales.

Had a lovely Saturday with family down at their house with a great curry feast and cheese cake. And saw our first fire in a house for years!

Our last night before we move south a lovely stay here except for us getting a cold each, it stopped us doing as much cycling and running as we would have liked but never mind. Our last day walking on the beach we found 40 pieces of glass towards building a large fish we have now a few hundred so I will start building it when we have a thousand pieces.
