Hair

9/7/08

Susan has another hair appointment so we’ll be leaving the house mid afternoon. I set the alarm and got up early to give the dogs a good walk. We had breakfast then Nafeica arrived to sort out some details for when we have left, she is going on holiday so we need to sort out a few things. Nafeica drove us to the bank and we cancelled the direct debit for Telefonica, that should make them pay attention!

We had a coffee in Santiagos then walked back along the road to get started cleaning. However, we changed our mind and decided to look into booking some camp sites in Italy, we have had some problems finding a slot as they all seem booked up. We almost ended up in a hotel at great expense as that seemed to be the only option, however we think we have found a camp site, not where we wanted to go but a little further south but still by the lake.

We did a little tidying then showered and headed off to the coast. Susan uses a hairdresser in Sotogrande so we headed to La Linea Carrefour first as we needed a new data card reader to take with us, also I’d stood on the USB dongle that stores our music so we needed to buy a new one of these too. We got slightly lost and ended up in another gated community and as a result we were running a little late.

I dropped Susan off just on time at 5pm then I went to the Yacht club for a drink, I was a little out of place with shorts and sandals, the coke was 7 euros so I didn’t stay long. Instead I went for a walk along the beach, I walked quite a distance and once again came across a load of naturist, it must be official but there are no signs up.

It was time to head back so I drove back to the hairdresser, found a toilet and  cleaned my feet in the sink. Susan arrived and we headed off.

We had planned to go back to Casares to one of the restaurants up at the top as we think eating here as the sun goes down would be very nice. Most of them were closed as seems the standard in Spain but we did find Restauranta Terraza which looked ok. We were the only people there and no one else arrived, the food was ok, the service was ok – thats all I can say about it really! We did befriend a little cat and gave it some meat that was good.

We drove back slowly over the bumpy roads, the car is now fixed and we don’t want to do the damage again. As we drove out of Gaucin the sun was just hitting the mountains over Cortes so we stopped and took these photographs.
