After a chilly night (well by our standards) we woke up to blue skies, still not that warm but bright and sunny. So Lynn got some washing on, nearly becoming involved in an international incident. Apparently an English woman wanted to use two washing machines at one time and a German lady was understandably not impressed! She was also angry at people not being back in time to empty their clean washing when the machine had finished. Lynn promised to be back in 35 mins ready to empty it, only to be told crossly “No! 30 minutes it takes 30 minutes! Oops She was duly back in plenty of time, I said she should have replied “YAH VOLL!” But apparently that’s not appropriate, even though it was the least historic suggestion I came up with!
After breakfast and two hours preparation (I’ll pay for that) we drove to Puerto Banus and had a drive around the town and into the hills behind. These are covered in golf courses and very nice estates, really quiet with country lanes and yet only a few minutes from the coast. Fantastic views of the hills in the background (some with snow on) and the coast in the other direction.
Afterwards we parked the car in town and went for a walk round. Had a look around the department store with all the designer names, including a section for kids (designer) clothes! Had lunch sitting in the sun watching the world go by, well the very nice cars! Then a walk around the marina and a look at the Saudi royal family’s third biggest motor yacht, the biggest won’t fit in the marina! Only worth about £50 million but you can charter it, and split the cost between 14 of us, any takers?
Back to the van for homemade Tapas, great flavours, hot spices and lots of noise from the smoke alarms!!!
