just another morning here

We’d planned, after brunch, to take a trip on the coastal tram all the way to the end of the line in Alicante, then head back to a beach afterwards, but it turned the other way around – mainly because we couldn’t get the ticket machine to work on the first tram we boarded!
So we ended up at El Campello again and the children swam in the sea for all of ten minutes – madness! But they really enjoyed it. Abbie had bought goggles and Joe had bought a snorkel the day before, especially for hunting for underwater treasures … think they may have found a shell or two

After they’d warmed up again we bought chocolate instead of ice creams, then got back on the tram and went to Alicante where we climbed up el Castillo Santa Barbara – some of us more happily than others (you will notice that the girls aren’t in any of these photos!).

Must also mention the strange yoghurts that we had after tea, apparently biscuit flavour! ‘sabor a galleta’, with a picture of a biscuit on the label. Made us laugh, anyway! Ended the day with films and scrabble again A lovely penultimate day.
