once again, managed to wake up to sunshine and enjoy the same all day, which comes a bit of a surprise to the locals who usually have rain at this of the yea4. Watching the weather news, kind of chilly at home, and rain with high winds over othe parts of Spain.
One advantage of bein* out on your own is that you can stop, start, and 2ander as you please, so today I did that and thoroughly enjoyed myself. right down Main Street, through the square and out into Ocean Village where I wanted to see the. Sunborn which is a five star floating hotel, a purpose built ship brought in on a piggy back vessel and docked here. it is beautiful, superbly furnished, , casino, nice restaurant and facilities and overlooks the marina and aerport runway. Has a chat with the staff who allowed me to wander about and take photos. Managed to watch an Easy Jet come in and land at the same time wa watching aPolice boat on the lookout for cigarette smugglers.
Back up into the town and ambled through a warren of narrow side streets, stoping for coffee at The Star pub, and then eventually sought sanctuary in the lovely Kings Chapel, which is part of the Governor’ s Mansion. Nice and peaceful, and while ther met a local lady who gave me a bit of the history of the place and some hints on places to visit. Told her where I was staying and her advice was that in future I should spend an extra £20 a night and get a bit more luxury, wherever I went.
Ev3ning was spend at a meeting of the Calpe Lodge, No 325 of the Irish Constitution where they had a candidate. very interesting and quite different to our own workings.
