The weather wasn't brilliant but dry and bright most of the time and hot on some days, the evenings seemed a lot milder than previous years.
We started off bad when Shuttle Direct failed to pick us up!!
We had a good night in the Regente with Sanji and David, we nearly won the quiz didn't we Sanji? met Sanji and David a few times, she really is the font of knowledge and her Spanish is fantastic.
Our Apt was in a brill spot on the front with the sun on it all day. Hubby had a mishap when the chair on the balcony collapsed, he was very lucky because it just shattered and some of the jagged edges could have done some serious damage, he hurt his back and arm though.
Visited Albir, Cala Finestrat and Calpe where we saw the fishing boats come in, with loads of octopuses (spl) also went in the auction room to see the fish being sold.
Only saw a few acts. John Lennon was really good so were Ricky Stevens, Kevin Holt and Terry Joyce, we were disappointed in Robbie Williams because he only sang 3 Robbie songs, best of all were The Beatles, we go to see them every year they are so good.
Monroes on Europa is a great restaurant, they do a carvery from 12 til 3.00pm for 5.95 euros and it is lovely, 3 types of meat to choose from, loads of different veg, and yorkies plus a choice of 5 desserts, a real bargain.
We celebrated New Years Eve in the old town by the square, with the 12 grapes, champagne, and party bags, which was a nice change from being in a bar.
We also really enjoyed the 3 kings parade especially the firework display.
All in all a good time was had by us all.
Roll on next Christmas, only about another 340 sleeps!!
Lizzie.
