A lazy day on the coast

Chilling in Calabardina and Aguillas:


5 days until the tour starts so taking it easy.  We're enjoying a 2 night stay at the peaceful Hotel Mayari in Calabardina. We are the only guests and we were treated to a personal tour of the hotel's very own museum of north African antiquities.

Our day started with a light breakfast of muesli, yogurt, banana, strawberries, orange juice, toast, rye bread, croissants, jam, tomatoes, cucumber, salami, ham, cheese washed down with 2 cups of excellent cafe con leche, no lunch required!

We took a stroll/spin along the deserted promenade in Calabardina.



I left Claire to rest on the promenade for half an hour whilst I joined in with the beach aerobics 'Little Britain' style! 😄

We drove to the area's main resort, Aguillas.

Hornillo Pier

The old pier which is a remnant of the railway built by British engineers in the late 19th century to load the locally mined iron ore on to ships.

Tomorrow we head to Zurgena where I will be reunited with my trusty steed so that I can check her servicability for the upcoming tour. Roll on Monday.
