We went up to the Pueblo this morning.
Sophie took the boys off to buy a souvenir while we sat on the
observation platform and drank coffee.
The boys came back with wooden rifles that shoot elastic bands. I think it was a good choice as it wasn’t
rubbish and were something they can play with.
We wandered the lanes of the Pueblo until we got to the viewpoint over
the sea and the Playa. The boys had a
great time hiding round corners and shooting at usl! The only problem was that the elastic bands
kept getting lost.
We went back home for lunch via the Euro Market to buy more elastic
bands. After lunch it was more beach and
pool playing!
In the evening we went to El Gaucho for dinner. I had had to choose somewhere that did pizzas
as well as steaks. The boys had their
iPads (or similar) which kept them quiet and occupied while we were able to
enjoy a nice meal and char,
Sunday 23rd February
We made a plan today to go up to the La Torre del Perulico at Macenas
before some beach play and then an early barbecue. However, I got a Messenger message to say
that my passport had been found! I
wasn’t sure of when or where, but we went up to the Ilario Imperial Mojacar
Pizzería which is almost up to Garrucha. I went in and asked for the person who
had messaged me, but she wasn’t there, and no-one spoke English. With the help of Google translate I managed
to find out that it had been found by one of the waiters while walking his dog
on Mandela beach which isn’t that far from us.
The dog had started digging and he had gone over to see what he was
digging for and found my passport, it’s cover, a credit card (mine), my AA card
and my driving licence. Of course, the
passport and credit card have been cancelled but I hadn’t spoken to the DVLA
about my driving licence. There was also
a black passport cover, but it had been ripped up – there wasn’t any sign of
Richard’s passport. My passport cover
was ripped but I don’t think I could have used it again even if it hadn’t been
ripped.
On our way to the tower we stopped off at Mandela Beach to see if we
could find any sign of where the dog had been digging but it is quite a large
expanse of beach so it was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
We then went up to Macenas to attempt the walk to the tower but stopped
at the beach bar to have a beer. By the
time we had finished it was too late to walk to the tower so just went back to
the beach for some wave jumping!
Back at the villa Richard and Mark did a lovely barbecue while Sophie
prepared a super salad – I had a night off!
Mark cooked Dorado, prawns, calamari, sardines, sausages and
burgers! It was amazing.
