Musical Motorhomes at La Garrofa.

We weren't too happy with the pitch we got when we arrived yesterday, nobody's fault, it's just very busy here at the moment and all the good pitches had been taken. Fortunately this morning we saw a couple just opposite us getting ready to move off so we discretely asked if they were just going out for the day or leaving the site. They confirmed they were leaving and all of a sudden we saw a couple of other folk eyeing up the pitch also. You loose if you snooze someone whispered as they passed by so while I ran up to check with the owner that it was ok to move Phil packed everything away. I nonchalantly unhooked our electric cable and as the couple drove off we were driving onto the pitch almost before they vacated it. Next thing we knew another couple moved onto our old pitch, which was better than theirs and another van moved onto their old pitch. Phew, it was exciting for a few minutes and great fun for the spectators. Ten minutes later and the dust had settled, the Musical Motorhome frenzy was over and we were all busy settling in to our new homes. We've now got sunshine from morning to evening and a great view of the beach and the sea, just what we wanted. An added bonus is the tree and the metal post ideally situated for Harry the Hammock! I gave him a test run after lunch and he's perfect. I tell you folks, life doesn't get much better.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The amazing rotisseried chicken provided us with our third meal today, chicken salad sandwiches and there's still half of it to go, by the time we've finished with it we'll be crowing and laying eggs!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The campsite has acquired a young French chef who had just started when we were here last time. He is now producing his own croissant every morning and they're delicious. Apparently his first couple of attempts with Spanish ingredients weren't too successful but he's definitely got the hang of it now and they sell out fast. On Thursday he is cooking a Bouillabaisse! We've had to put our names down as he needs to know how much fish to buy and currently there are fifteen of us looking forward to being transported to Marseille in a couple of days time.

A team of Spanish plumbers arrived this morning and the hot water to the showers has been fixed so you'll be pleased to hear that there is now a campsite full of freshly showered folk. Long may it stay that way.

Good news also that Annie finished my hat! Cool eh? Perfect for those cooler evenings.

Finally, here's another sunset for you:
