Something different

R, A and T had some friends over from Reading, they are Argentinian, a lovely couple and so nice for them to all meet up whilst they were over here for a month, with a little boy same age as Theo and a little 6 month old girl. 

We were invited to join them on a sunset cruise leaving Calpe, Chris has sea legs, I don´t, too many horror stories for me in boats, not my thing, we all met up at the port and I waved them goodbye. It was my intention to sit on the beach or rocks and take in the gentle surroundings and chill, however the weather decided against that, it was blowing straight off the sea and was rough, after walking to my spot I gave up and sat in the car with my crochet to continue with the throw.

Getting out passed the rock was apparently rough but smoothed over once round, very interesting to see the other side of the rock and take in the scenery. 

Theo wasn´t doing too well on the boat and kept asking to come back to me, bless, so when they were disembarking I was waiting and he ran straight into my arms for a cuddle, special. We then walked to one of the fish restaurants on the quay side for a bite to eat. 

These restaurants have all sorts of fish menus, obviously right by the landing area, but gosh some of them were eye wateringly expensive, 160e for 4 people or 190 for 6, these dishes  have everything though, but half the time you wouldn´t know how to tackle the variety of fish. Rebecca had monk fish and it was delicious, very meaty and filling. It is the most uglist of fish you can imagine when you see it in the supermarket and I wouldn´t know where to start to fillet it, glad they did it for us lol 

Tiny little shell fish as a starter, can´t remember the name but not very filling, bit like tiny clams.

The children were getting very tired so we made our way home but so nice to experience something different.

Moments to treasure

take care
