The past few days flew by and now on to LlaFranc

The past few days have flown by and we had dinner a couple of times with other friends from the UK who were staying in a Villa nearby .
We visited a number of different restaurants and most of then were pretty damn good and the prices haver gone up quite a quite a bit over the last couple of years according to mine host, but compared to prices in Uk there is no comparison.
The weather was very nice and we went in the swimming pool several times a day and started the evening with a glass of something and then dinner, either in or out, and the we watched the UK political shenanigans and commented what a bunch of wa***ers they all are. Why it takes more than two years to do a job that should have taken about six months beats me, If we had run my past company that way we would be dead and buried by now.
Anyway we left Moraira around 0930 and headed up the motorway in a northerly direction past Valencia and Barcelona as we are staying the night in town where Noel stayed when he was about 15 ish, he can’t remember exactly. Together with all other family members we went to Blackbushe Airport , near Camberley, and flew on a passenger version of a DC3 to Perpignan with the aircraft operated by British Eagle, or was it Eagle Airways. On approach to Perpignan the captain completely missed the runway upon landing and had to go around and missing the surrounding mountains at the same time. The on ground staff waiting for us thought the aircraft would not make it but we did.
Anyway we have now decided to revisit the place and it was quite empty as the season is over and we had a nice room overlooking the car park with a little bit of the sea but it was nice. There is a nice beach and only about four or five Hotels and mostly mid to elderly people and so a bit quiet and just what we liked.
The Hotel did not have a swimming pool but the sea is at your front door.
In the evening we ate in the Hotel restaurant after discussing the usual allergy issues and they did well. And so to bed.
