Spain Won

It was a hot night and neither of us slept well so I was up early to walk the dogs round the tracks at Jimera, Susan slept on.

After Breakfast we took the dogs to the River Genal to let them have a swim and a bit of a cool down in the water. This river runs (unsurprisingly) through the Genal Valley near to Benarraba so to get there we drive to Benarraba then down the dirt track to the valley floor. This area is popular with families swimming and having picnics so we were not surprised to see a few folk swimming and splashing about.






The scenery was quite nice!

We threw a stick for an hour or so, let the dogs swim and sat in the sun ourselves. The dogs loved it. After that we drove to Algatocine, we've been here a few times but normally just driving through so this time we stopped for a drink and had a walk round.






These flowers were everywhere which was nice to see, they are a little dried out now.

We drove home, had lunch then I had a siesta, I dont know why I do this, I always feel lousy if I have an hour or so sleep in the afternoon.

We went next door for dinner, I was a little disappointed with them this time. They have two sides to the restaurant, one is set out with proper cutlery and tablecloths -the other is just paper covers etc. We sat in the posh part and looked over the menu, what Susan wanted was not available, what I wanted was not available so I asked if I could have tapas. The waitress said I'd need to sit on the other side of the room to eat tapas. Considering they didn't have what we wanted I'd have thought they would have let me eat Tapas at the same table as Susan. Anyway I found something else but it wasn't great - not a happy bunny!

Spain have just won Euro 2008 so the fireworks and tooting of horns have started - it'll be a bad night.
