We've been here a week (tomorrow) and the weather has been great with plenty of people sun bathing on the beach and a few brave souls in the sea.
We've not managed to get out of Benidorm, just been too busy eating/drinking, walking,eating/drinking,walking, eating/drinking and shopping.

I brought a book and haven't even read a page yet, that must say something for Benidorm, when I can usually get through 3 on the Costa Del Sol.
The town is just as busy as last year, and today the Spanish have arrived in mass, ready for the New Year celebrations.
Apart from my mishap on the ice rink, we managed to be stuck for 15 minutes with 4 other people in these

They have been a nightmare all week and whilst the doors have always been quick and fierce, I've never known the lifts break down as much as they have this last week....today it "smells" like the "otis" mantainance guy has been servicing them, with the distinct smell of lubricating oil....but one still managed to break down again this afternoon.


I personally think they are just cream crackered and are ready for new ones....a bit like me

I have a few moans when I get back.
Depending on the weather, we hope to venture out of Benidorm next week and get some of the surrounding area on film....and we have the three kings parade to look forward too.
Bye for now.
