Well I can't believe Debs is letting me loose on the blog. It is probably because we have done nothing but lie on a beach for the past week. The sun has blazed down as we lay on the fantastic beach in Santander. Yes I thought it was just the name of a bank too.
We arrived for some 100 year festival so tapas and cheap cerveza abounds.
There was a fantastic firework display one night with fireworks coming out of the sea.
We also have a huge fair complete with gypsies and goldfish.
This place is a great spanish resort for spaniards so no english breakfast or all day happy hours but god do they love ice-cream. They literally queue at one parlour in their dozens even after 11at night.
I had an interesting moment with a very old spanish lady who requested that I zip her dress up on the beach due to her arthritis (or at least i think thats what she was on about). So that’s it here, off to watch a free opera concert and drink sangria; quality!
P.S. Debs has just reminded me about our bat and ball comp on the beach. We are up to 148 hits between us. Yes very sad i know!
Short and straight to the point Mike..let Deb do the blog, she's more poetic! Deb xx
