Yoo hoo from Benidorm! It's a beautiful day here, just back from a stroll on the beach and sitting on our spacious balcony in the sun. We have struck lucky with the hotel, apparently recently refurbished but looks totally overhauled to us. Very comfortable, spotlessly clean, the food is excellent. We had great dancing last night, they have a nice room for it. Tonight there is dancing in another hotel nearby with the same guy doing the music, he was very good - we went to see that hotel this morning and the room for dancing is nothing like as good but we will give it a go.
The really great thing is that we are meeting up with Bicky from Femail tomorrow! We met her years ago at a Brum meet, she is from Coventry but married to a Spaniard, I never knew where in Spain she lived. More recently we became friends on FB after Oldy's brilliant Femail thread some months ago. Mr Osc tagged me here yesterday and she posted that she was only five minutes away, so we chatted on Messenger and will arrange later on today where we will meet - those Femail bonds are always there.
This trip was a bit of an experiment, but Benidorm is not quite the Blackpool-on-the-Med that I expected, for a start it is spotlessly clean. I am sure it is a nightmare in high summer but at the moment, we are seeing mostly people of a certain age, in fact Kellie's childminder warned us to be careful of speeding mobility scooters
Lots of highrise buildings, but some of the newer ones are very interesting looking, not just square blocks.
definitely a marathon, but they loved it. Oh and Maggie Smith was in the foyer, not sure if that didn't thrill them just as much
