First day at the Villa that's not a Villa - and not a .... well OK you get it .... woke up to our favourite Mandrake screaming in the down stairs bathroom ... oh yes living the life .... and open the door to the back 14 acres of land ... OK patch of 3x3 sq feet ... but its Mine all mine and no-one else's ... and there the Olympic size swimming pool awaits you .. warm and welcoming ...
OK I should have been an estate agent ... its Olympic if you are an ewok. But again its MY pool ... MY plunge pool ... OK OK MY Bath ..
....MY small Bath !!!!
Not bad - just about then you notice its a terrace set up ... yes all the Villas are detached ... but the back gardens back onto each other like ... well like .. a scene from the start of coronation street !!!! on every side !!!!
So home cooked some breakfast (bread and cheese) - in the sunshine - and a needed cup of caffeine enriched coffee ... kindly picked for me at the supermarket ... 2 cups later - not feeling the same old caffeine driven buzz ... its decaf coffee ....Thanks !!!! This needs rectifying quickly....
What to do now? ... a plunge perhaps in the warm and welcoming Olympic pool perhaps ? It now you find out that its Africa on the patio, and Siberia in the pool .. once you have used anti-freeze its actually OK ... but be warned ... it stings on certain parts of the body !!!
A quick defrost - and walk along the beach - which is only a spit away from us .. as the crow fly s ... but in the absence of being a crow .. its down the path - turn towards the beach bar - and through the beach bar onto the beach ... sod it .. who wants to be a crow anyway !!!
Bit windy ... but hey .. nice and sunny ... wonderful to see kite surfers enjoying the days windy conditions ...
Back to the hotel to sort out internet connections for the Villa / Apartment ... which has no wireless ... but they have built in an ethernet connection .. well a bit of waiting and asking - and we are connected to the outside world ... so perhaps ... to celebrate .. some lunch on the patio and a long swim in the pool then ...
what wonders for lunch ... perhaps some bread and cheese then ... and as its a treat - lets add some salami :) :) ... before our 20 lengths .....
Our Mandrake still happy squealing ... its time to think about heading off to the town. NO ... you are not entitled to use the bus its for all inclusive guests only... OK so a taxi ..
A pretty little town called Santa Maria .. and we stooped off at a bar called the blu bar ... 1/2 price cocktails and a nice warm evening to sit and enjoy them on the outside veranda. That's about as much detail as can be recalled from night 1 ... except for the faint remembrance of a conversation with 2 lasses from a small town near Wakefield. Oh yes chatter chatter - cocktail cocktail .... and next thing that comes to mind is signing loudly with a live performer at another bar, ... having some cheese, salami, and ham on a platter, then tax home.... I had been tempted by the dark side !! of long island ice teas .... and oh yes ... Jane and Michelle AKA Jango Fett and Count Douku ... AKA AKA Lord Voldemort and his snake !!!! I hope we don't meet these two again ... but wait .. we organised to meet them the following night ... CRAP !!! who in their right mind organised to.... oh right .... we did ... the blu bar ... definitely the chamber of pi*s heads .... or as I like to think of this as the attack of the colons !!!!!
