Sue's Birthday

Today is Sue's birthday and after we had got soaking wet on our trip out we returned back to the villa for a birthday tea.


Sally had made her own birthday card which was beautiful
We enjoyed singing "happy birthday" and then we all helped to blow out the candles.

Teresa gave Sue a present from the guests and we just had a good time.

Walking Day

Today was a Bank Holiday in Spain, and unlike in the UK on Bank Holidays here everywhere closes down. We decided we would have a good walking day and headed into Santa Pola as this is a good little town to stroll around at leisure.




We somehow managed to work up an appetite and found ourselves in this lovely Chinese restaurant for an early evening treat.

Beach day

Another brilliant hot day, although we had decided on going to Dolores for the day, we changed our minds and headed off for the beach in La Marina.



The guys soon found a pool table and a very serious game commenced.




So it's thirsty work watching a big match?





We've all had a good day and enjoyed ourselves, we finished off the evening playing "poker".

Torrevieja

Sally, Teresa, Arthur all arived last evening, but they were up early this morning to take on the sights of one of their favourite towns Torrevieja.
Teresa and Arthur did a little shopping,before they had lunch and just enjoyed each other's company. Sally preferred a walk on the sea front with Christopher and James just enjoyed the views.
The group all know each other from several previous visits to Spain with Finca and it's great that they all get on well together and have a good time.

Old Friends Return

Christopher and James enjoying a day out in Quesada.

Christopher is our volunteer and adopts a "buddy" role to other's who come on holiday.

Island of Tabarca

I din't quite know what to expect from the boat trip and at first I wasn't too sure, but I really liked it. The Island is small but I enjoyed just looking around.



Me back on dry land after having a good day.

We are nearly at the end of a fantastic week, so it was off to Benidorm for some last minute shopping. Of course we couldn't resist hitting a few balls on the golf course!!!! well the crazy golf course.



Guardalest.
Willie thought he had been mountaineering, the climb up the mountain is well worth it when you see the view of the lake.
