Fair enough






















All credit to the BBC, the weather did improve yesterday. In fact we had an hour or two of sunbathing before setting off to the Medieval Fair. Hugh and I even went into the pool. I have to say though that Hugh cheated and wore his wet suit.

The Medieval Fair was very interesting. Sadly they had re-scheduled the belly dancer to Saturday so we missed her. We did see the acrobats, the musicians and the buffoon though. Amazingly we got away with just spending three euros on a couple of loufas.

After the fun of the Medieval fair we walked along to the Book fair. Although most of the stalls were selling books in Spanish, Bargain Books were there and seemed to be attracting a lot of interest from both English and Spanish customers.

As we left, the roads into Torrevieja were gridlocked by traffic. We imagine they were people going to watch the Good Friday Easter parade. Thankfully we were going out of Torrevieja to the Wakiki bar at La Siesta to feast on cod, chips and mushy peas. Not very Spanish we know but very tasty and remarkable value for money.
