2013 - Day 2

Today started off lazy. A short lie-in and then leisurely breakfast.

Another bright sunny morning.

The balcony gets the sun all day. I bet when they planned to have them slightly SSW rather than S facing everyone scoffed. The result is about 9 hours of sun! The white walls make it a blinding experience as well as like sitting in an oven

We got the car out for a drive, ending up in Marbella old town. We parked underground, cool, and then walked down to the seafront and all along the promenade.

Lunch of salad and garlic potatoes was superb. Then more walking to burn off the salad... ;)

We had a slow drive back.  The Aygo doesn't do fast in any case. The speed limit on the coast road, formerly the N340, is now 80kph. The Aygo can just about manage that although one time we hit 85! I overtook a bus but it re-took us on a hill!!!

After our traditional kindle session, and siesta, we were up and out for a dip in the pool. It is right in front of us after all.

Dinner was at the restaurant on El Bombe beach, but only after a longish walk and the bridge over the N340.

We were restrained. A mixed salad and a single portion of calamari.

The appetiser was bread with garlic mayo.

All washed down with a glass of local Tinto.

The uphill walk from the tunnel under the main road brought us to reception, closed, but the wifi was still available on the front steps!!

We weren't in any hurry but Downton was on the TV at 10pm locally and so we watched that before bed.

Until tomorrow. Where to go? La Colina? West towards Gib? Who knows where the Aygo will take us?
