Neither of us had been before, apart from at the airport of course, so at least we could discover it together. I was warned that Adam did not know any Spanish, so I was prepared to get around using broken English and body language, however off he goes speaking only Spanish (liar!!!!), even mixing a bit of French in there at times (show off!!!).
So day one we got there late - 11pm late, so it was to the hotel, talk and bed time, needed to save our energy for the beach the next day (my plan anyway - think Adam wanted to mix in some shopping, but I assured him that it would be spent at the beach, and the beach only - I am white....not going to miss out on a tan!)
So next day off it was to discover Alicante.....only 5 mintue walk to the beach too - and an enjoyable walk along this little street above.....it was soooooo cute!!! Anyway after a quick coffee it was beach time baby......here are a few happy snaps:
ok so not too many photos from the beach.......but we had a great day -laid on the rocks, then had lunch, then moved onto the sand.......I stepped in the water, highest up to my knees, but i did see fish, so it scared me a little and I had to run away (not good with moving creatures in the water). We also bought a matkot set (matkot in hebrew....no idea in english), but its like ping pong i guess, but no table, so just hit it to eachother. Was quite fun, Adam certainly learned he was not as strong as me : ) maybe more skill, but he needed to learn how to to belt that ball!!!! hahaSo we then walked along the cute little streets, saw a few little market stalls selling all that junk I love to look at, so I was amused, Adam was very well behaved and acted amused....haha
Below you can see me on a chair, everywhere there were just chairs, for anyone to sit on.....along this street all the old men were there, and I thought I should try it out . Was quite ok, but had no idea what to do whilst sitting other than stare at people, so I got impatient, so off we continued....
For dinner we went to this cute little restaurant, and had the BEST veal steaks - oh baby oh baby it melted in my mouth.....after that I died........as you can see:
So day two we decided to walk up this hill as it wasnt so sunny. Off we went
We found a comfy little place, with a nice view, and it was so nice not to have many tourists around so it was just us : ) But here are some photos from our final little outing.......
Then it was to the airport, and home back to Luton. Must say its enjoyable flying with a pilot to explain all the flaps and gears as they go down......the mechanics, the problems, the next move, the height, etc etc........a little geeky on his behalf, but i guess a little interesting for me too....haha
so thats it from me for a while again, I will be sure to write again in the next few months, but be patient......love you all xx
