Sort of a quiet day

We decided to have a quiet day in the apartment and spend some time planning our route back from Quinto De Largo back to Santander in Norther Spain as we require Hotels for seven nights between leaving the apartment and checking on to the ferry.

We decided some while ago that rather than rush over two days back to Santander we would take a country route and stay in some Hotels or Paradors as appropriate although we discovered that as we will be travelling during the Easter Holidays one Parador that had been recommended by a close friend which is on the North West Coast of Spain was about £ 350.00 per night which is a bit to much for a one night stay. So we spent several hours looking at routes and Hotels and have pretty much made up your minds which way to go and where to stay. You are often torn between having lots of one night stays of a reduced number of two night stays, most difficult to make a decision some times. Anyway we have booked a Hotel in Evora for two nights to get us going and also for one night in a place called Gijon which is just over the hours from Santander port as we thought it would be nicer to stay away from Santander as room prices were high.

Anyway with that roughly completed we spent the rest of the day reading and Noel doing his usual blogging etc. For lunch we had some Hamburgers from Costco which were very good along with mixed veg and mash, nothing like living the high life. Noel also spent some looking into the Broadoaks Security camera review to update residents before their meeting on Thursday evening. Tomorrow we will travel to a place called Tavira which has been described as the Venice of Portugal, should be interesting to see what it is like.

So that's it for today apart from the usual minor political comment that the US democrat supporters seem to have lost their minds…fun to watch
