Over the last few days have started to get ready for moving stocking up on food for traveling up Spain 18 liters of milk, 18 liters of water lots of jam and tinned fruit.

Decided to take the car back 2 days early I have had enough of driving round now washed the car and filled up with fuel.

22 days hire 670€ fuel used 105€ used the car wash before returning was surprised  5€ in foam and spray still 4€ left on the timer in the UK would have cost more ????

No age limit on hire Good eh I told them i was 200 years old Ha Ha

Lots of tidying up in the van carpets washing floor ect. Hair cut nearly all done.

Benissa is a small town in Spain in the province of Alicante, 275 m above sea level, and one of the oldest towns on the Costa Blanca. The municipality of Benissa has 4 km of coastline linking the towns of Moraira and Calp

I noticed this sign sex on the beach 5€ so thought its a good excuse to go to Benidorm and see how much sex on the beach is there because of its reputation. 6€ – 11€ OUCH. stopped for a Starbucks but the last one the girl will not give me the correct choice of bean and keeps adding .20€ to give me a bean I do not want (Casi Cielo) so get lost Starbucks.
