Friday 2nd September- Alicante Airport and Benidorm Palace

We left Moraira shortly after 11.00 and took John and Lyn to Alicante Airport for them to connect to their Monarch flight home which was due to leave around 14.00 hrs.
After than we headed in to to Alicante and just by pure chance located a Burgerking where we duly enjoyed the traditional double whopper before collecting the car from the car park and then on to Benidorm. At an event easrlier in the week we had met some of Roger and Sue’s friends who were going to Benidorm for the show at the Benidorm Palace which has a good reputation and we had been invited to join. We arrived at the Hotel and found the party enjoying fish and chips down the road from the hotel at the Admiral Nelson pub where we also had a few bevvies before goint back to the Hotel.
A brief clean up and then on to a small bar, yes we had another drink, and then arrived at the Benidorm Palace where a table for thirteen people had been prepared. The show started around ten pm and after a short thirty minute half time break went on for another hour and half. The show was very good with acrobats who were amazing and then finally on to the finale where some of the ladies allowed to lights on their upper bodies, Oh to be young again. This was a really good night with mixed views over the food but we hadf a great time and then back to the Melia Hotel at around two pm just in time for bed!
