Had a great holiday in April. Weather was warm during the day and a bit cool at night, but not too bad.
We had neighbours LJ and Steve (and mom Peggy) and Tracey and Chris there as well and it was good to meet up and chat. We had a BBQ in the front garden one night and I think that was enjoyed by all. As it got cool at night we all sat in the downstairs "Cabana" and that worked really well.
We went up to Benidorm one day, had a good time looking around, went into the "Solana Hotel" that they were filming the TV show "Benidorm" and had a good look around, they were not filming in the hotel, but they had the area were they do the filming cordoned off. I didn't realise how big a hotel it was, it actually has 3 large pools. We had lunch there and thoroughly enjoyed looking around. Later on we went just up the street and saw the "Neptune's Bar" they were filming inside, but we couldn't see much from the outside. We went round the back to have a look, they were setting up the stage area, but we didn't see any of the actors.
We walked into the Old town and had a good look around. This has a real nice feel to it and was well worth the visit.
We also met up with some old friends "Posh Coffee" (AKA Margaret and Derek Beardsmore) who also have an property in Spain (near La Marina) and we had a nice day with an evening meal at "Dave's Sports Bar"
Time flew by and we were back all too quickly but it was a nice holiday. Have put some pictures below.
