We went for a lovely walk in the hills around Eric and Seonaids house near Marbella but in the afternoon I had a terrible headache probably caused by stress or sunshine or both. The next day at Seonaids suggestion I drove along the mountainous scenic road to Ronda at 750 metres. Ronda is dramatically village sited over a gorge. With an amazing 18th century bridge -see picture above. I decided against visiting the museum of banditry! Also missed the bullfightin...

Battled my way back through the city of Murcia and was relieved to get onto the motorway to my next destination which was to be in a nature park. However this was not to be! Feeling tired I stopped to have a coffee from the flask in a designated picnic area. It was too hot to sit outside so I sat inside the van and I left the door open to prevent the sun blazing through the window. A car suddenly drew up alongside and a Muslim fellow got out with a map and lea...

The distorted picture was taken at home but reflects how am feeling at the moment. Friday the 13th! For once I did not enjoy the campsite. Hot dusty and full of older people who stay here for months every year - and it is horrible. It didn't help that there are contractors preparing to Tarmac the dust paths so they are belting around kicking up the dust and making much noise with diggers etc. Also there is a dog pound nearby so all night there was barking of di...

Forgotten to mention that at Javea there was an orange grove bursting with oranges on the trees and on the ground. I thought yippee I'll have some of that! Well, I have never tasted anything so sour. It certainly makes all your lips purse. Made my way to Denia hoping to take a ferry to Ibiza. Chatted a long time with charming English Jonathan and then walked to the fancy new ferry terminal only to find that the ferries cost €120 return. It is cheaper to fly fr...

Last night we were invited by the group of cyclists who come to the campsite most weekends. They invited us, that is Helen and Andrew the pilots, to see an 8 minute carton porn film. It was porn, but more funny than titillating. We were given gin and tonics and a dessert of chocolate and cream. Then they showed the film Gravity. I liked their style as they had a huge screen. We left as soon as we politely could. Reluctantly left Mori serradell this morning. Pai...
