Well our plan for the day after having breakfast was to pack up our suitcases and leave in the room and and go walkabout for a few hours as we had been told that the new room would not be ready until mid afternoon and so we duly packed our cases and was just about the leave the room and the phone rang and it was reception. I thought it might be they were worried we had not left our room but it was to say that the new room was ready and we could transfer immediately which was very good news. So a few minutes later we arrived in room 531 which was much better and on the corner of the hotel and with much better views.
So we spent the next hour unpacking and putting all our stuff away in the cupboards and then departed along the sea front opposite all the shops and bars and restaurants, very English here with signs for ‘Full English breakfast and fish and chips’ not quite our idea of going away on holiday but anyway we found the exchange cash shop as we had some USD leftover from last years Florida visit and with no more USA visits planned cancered them in to Euros . From there we found a bar and Noel had a toasted cheese and ham sandwich and Jennifer a chicken baguette , my toastie was great but Jennifer's chicken was bit tough and perhaps to larger baguette.
As it was about 15.00 we decided that we would not want a late meal tonight and that even an early one would be to early after a late lunch and so we headed to the Mercadona supermarket for a few provisions with plans to have dinner in the room. So with a large box of strawberries to finish and also some excellent roast pork we had a nice evening meal in readiness for watching the Manchester United game against Barcelona which finished with Man U knocking out the Spanish side..
We then watched a couple of short you tube films on the new Bloc hotel at Gatwick and also and update from Kim the F1 photographer and then to bed after a nice day.
