Thursday 22nd November


Well, the good weather is still with us and today we have had sunshine from when we got up until it got dark a short while ago. I went off on a led cycle ride to Altea along the coast a little way, returning via Albir where we walked to visit a market on Sunday. Tonight we have a quiz on site so we are to go to that and see how we get on. As we are spending more time at this site it is growing on us so I am sure we will return to the area at some time, who knows when.

We came joint second at the quiz and won 3 Euros which, split between the six in the team didn't cover the beer but helped a little.

Thursday saw us on a walk to the Faro (lighthouse) at Albir. Situated on a headland overlooking the bay at 112m above the sea it gives commanding views across the water which was a lovely turquoise colour in the sunshine that we experienced. Although we had been told beforehand that the walk was about three miles each way someone had a GPS on their phone which told them we had covered four and a half miles when we reached the Faros so probably about ten miles by the time we returned via a meandering route. A lovely walk though.

Thursday night has a whist drive on site that we intend to go on and try our luck. Hopefully there won't be too many serious players there otherwise we may just upset them with our play.
