Saturday 3rd September- It’s a Zoo down there


We met the party in the breakfast room and it was really a zoo down there and just like the back end of a Boeing 747 on a flight full of kids and so we were all glad to leave and get away from the noise.
Back to Roger and Sues for a swim and little rest and then get tarted up for a trip to Javea which is just up the coast and which we had visited last year and enjoyed and excellent meal and so we went back again and had a great lunch overlooking the bay and the sun bathers and swimmers.
The food was excellent and even the house wine was really very good indeed and a lovely time was had by all.
We retired back to the swimming pool and then started packing the car with all the camping gear to get ready for our departure tomorrow to go North.
It was our original plan to go South down to Malaga and Cadiz and sround Portugal but after an ernest discussion earlier in the week Noel had the idea not to go there but to see if there was a ferry operating from Spain to Italy and after some research we are booked on a car ferry from Barcelona to Rome, or the nearest port, where we shall camp for a few days and explore Rome. After this we intend to visit Tuscany and the Italian lakes and then over the hills in to Switzerland. Sounds great!. Tomorrow we have a short day and spend the night in Valencia in the same hotel that we stayed last year.
