4th September- Market Day

Lyn was in the pool early this morning and I think Jennifer joined her but not sure as I was still in bed.
Roger, John, Lyn and Noel went off to the local market which sells the usual stuff of clothing, shoes and many things that you think you dont need but know they are so cheap you buy them. Roger and Noel did a quick walk around the market place, Noel to take photos before we headed off for a coffee and a little brandy, this purely to be used as preventative medicine.
Then we went on a longish drive through the hills to a restaurant called Verdi Verdi in a small town called Massgroff which is on the top of a hill with great views, but it was to hot to sit outside. There was a set meal, with a starter of curried vegetables served with fresh bread, then a really good vegetable soup, a salad followed that and then half a sheep and then if you had enough space a desert. Again the wine came along with the meal and the whole lot cost about £18.00 per person. The restaurant was owned by a Spanish Chef and his german wife and they had only recently installed a generator for electric as before this time they had gas for cooking and candles for lighting. The food was excellent.
We drove home through the hills and took some photos and then we took a quick trip downtown to a little seaside bar to watch the moon rising and then back for a quiet evening.
