Another day, Sunday today, not something you really think about on your hols – all days blur into one. Up early again, and a little run into Pineda de Mar this morning, and right past the Maccy D’s. I was tempted, but it was just out of reach given my training was going that well…
Back for a swim – the water seemed a little warmer today, so we had a splash about before breakfast – Kate had Chicken Nuggets I had my normal number of rolls and greasy meat. Afterwards we got back down on our beds by the pool, but I didn’t venture in again, I didn’t want to get wet before our stroll.
Back down to Pineda, with a view to eat at the Tapas bar I had heard about. We had a look along the front, then back for the Tapas. It was good. The beer glass was frosted, and we had anchovies, calamari, bread, cheese, meatballs it was great. To top it off, we were sat outside, in the shade, with the F1 on a big telly just in front of us – now that is the life…. After nosh we relented to Kate to get a blow up thing for the water – she decided on a great big ring, which she had to carry!
Back down the beach, and into the waves in our new toy. Luckily for Kate after about 30 seconds on it I felt sea sick, so she had the joy of me pushing her in it, into the waves. Ah what fun. The sea was reasonably “warm” and the waves were fun, but I got caught by one, and spun under, as I had my ear plugs in and the sea invaded my head, it almost caused them to pop out. I had a real stabbing pain in my ear, and managed to stumble out of the sea and tag-team Sian to take over. I thought I might have perforated my ear drum – I hadn’t…
After a while we set off back, and into the pool to get Kate to practice diving through the ring, after a few worried aborted attempts she finally did it, and was well chuffed. This continued for some time and long enough to get a big scar down her leg from the creases – but she was in the pool so couldn’t complain too much ;o) I retired and the other came up soon ready for Kates special treat for supper – we were going to the Hotel Buffet – Oh no!
So we ummed a little, but ended up going back into the breakfast room for supper, to be honest it wasn’t bad, but it did make me think what a great choice we made in just booking breakfast. There was a good choice, for me mostly veal and lamb chops. But it was good to have a little of everything, and then a little more, and then a little more, and then …. So we were home sooner than usual, so took a littlel stroll up the shops and got some goodies. Nice to be back early and took the opportunity to get some extra zzz’s. Sian and Kate fell asleep with their Kindles open.
Hotel Buffet – 6/10
