Saturday 12-8-2006






From Elayne
We decided to go up to Bedar and have a cheese omelette and fresh orange juice for breakfast. At 10 o’clock in the morning it was becoming very hot, 31degrees C. by the bank clock! We then decided to walk up the village, taking new paths, and found a nice shady square. Whilst walking along a track, we stopped to look in the branches of a tree and found a cicada on a branch, which we took some photo’s of. They make such a noise, but stop instantly when you get too close to them. We also took some photo’s of the Chumbo fruit, which are beginning to turn red.
We had noticed another bookshop on the beach at Mojacar, so we decided to go down and have a browse. Unfortunately the books were all in Spanish, so we went for a paddle instead. Back to Turre to buy a book, ‘The Complete Mediterranean Wildlife’, which will be of great use to us in identifying all the creepy crawlies that we keep finding. It also has plants and birds for when we get up to Taberno.
Back to El Pinar for a drink and to see if we had got any post, which we had. Paul’s sister Nina had sent a lovely card, hand made by herself. Thank you Nina, and Happy Birthday for today.
After all that we went back to the villa and threw ourselves into the pool ….BlissJ
