Comings, Goings, Delays & the "Puente"


Chloe and Chris had decent weather for their week, but it became a little cloudy and windy, so our day at the dunes was shortened and we used the wind shelter. We all went in the sea, though, despite the red flag! Bracing!!

They went out on their on one evening and did very well in a music quiz at The Oasis where the average age was greater than the sum of theirs!

Both 6th and 8th December are Bank Holidays in Spain. (Constitution Day & the Immaculate Conception!) Many people therefore (including school children) "make the bridge" and take all three days off! This meant a lot of activity at the harbour/marina which is 5 minutes away from home:- sailing, fishing, water sports and eating fish!
On their last day the sun shone brightly but they went shopping! We then had tapas by the harbour and they went to the airport for a 7.30 p.m. departure. They got as far as the gate and were told they would have to be put up in a Caleta de Fuste hotel, as there was a mechanical fault! They landed at Gatwick around 8.30 p.m. the next day! We had a text from Chloe the next morning at 6 a.m. to say she was on her way to work!
