We have caught the sun at last. At least the temperatures are warm during the day going upto 17 C but drop to near zero at night. We’re at Guardamar del Segura near the coast next to the Rio Segura and just 15 minutes walk from the beach and dunes. The town is also a short cycle away alongside the canal so we’ve been exploring. Helen’s been swimming and some “keep fit” whilst we’ve both been cycling along the many pistas in the area. Also the beach makes a nice running strip with a walk through the dunes on the way back. We did a hours Spanish class on the site and have internet access from the café. Brian and Sue are also here (just opposite us) so we’ve had some great evenings for dinner and DVDs or “Rummy”, so it is good to have company. It still gets dark about half-past six and the temperatures plummet after five but that’s fine as its T-shirts and shorts after eleven once the sun is higher. The campsite is full and we got the last two places. There are many Dutch, English and German people with many of them “overwintering” with massive units I wonder how they get them onto their plots. We’re not sure how long we’ll stay here, no doubt the weather will decide that for us but at the moment we’re reluctant to move from this spot.
