13 August 2024 – Family Visit Week One

 

 This year they abandoned the car in favour of the plane  

For the past two years they have driven from Newcastle

But 1500 miles each way is a long drive

Our first outing was Chino Imperial in Calpe, an old favourite with all of the family

It felt strangely normal to be sharing a beer with Jack (his was bigger than mine) 

Being self employed they could not leave work behind, but at least their office had a better view

The children are considerably older, and no longer is the pool the attraction it once was

Except for Chloe who is now a very proficient swimmer

Though she does like some company

Hard to believe that Michelle had been at the Parcent fiesta until 0400 the previous night.

They do still enjoy visiting the coastal favourites of Calpe or Javea

It has been particularly hot this year

So they wait until evening to drive to the coast

Where they can cool off playing in the sea

Followed by a  nice meal in a local restaurant
