The usual breakfast and sat and discussed the days planned events, if any, and any recent news of interest. But after breakfast we decided that sitting by a swimming pool with the temp a couple of degrees below comfort level was not the best way to chill out and so we went for a long walk along to the little port area where the scuba divers were either getting dressed or undressed for their training period. This appears to be a major location for scuba diving training as the car park was full of ‘white van man’ with the names of different diving training companies.
Regretfully the writer has had a few issues in the lower part of the body over the last few days and was actually feeling a bit better this morning but then we stopped for a break at a little café decided to have a beer without checking the brand and so a large mug of AMSTEL arrived which in the bottle form had never caused me issues although once before with the draft version I had forgotten contains sucrose???so a couple of hours later I spent quite some time in the smallest room in the house, as they say.
Prior to all of this we passed by several cafe’s and restaurants and considered venturing there for a lunch or dinner but the risks of contamination of garlic or onions is rather high and so after a long consideration we would stick with the devil we know which is the Irish pub across the road which serves good homemade food and also the Hotel.
This little area of Puerto del Carmen was much busier than when we were here last in October 2021 which was not long after Noel had a new knee and was somewhat restricted on walking but now unfortunately the right knee is beginning to play up more as the left one is so good that it means I want to do more walking on one good leg and one that clicks at every step, umm will have to consider having the other one done.
Anyway spent the afternoon on the room balcony overlooking the people on the beach, again not very busy, and then at around 7pm went for dinner, yes across the road and Jen had the spaghetti bolognaise and Noel the burger minus onions..Once we returned the room after buying some water for the room it was bit late for a film and so we watched all sorts of exciting things on You Tube, from the opening of the new London Bank Station to a guy travelling by bus from London to Edinburgh for £ 23.00, all good fun.
And so to bed.
