Rod and Donna's Visit

Been a bit lazy with the blog lately, but we have had company. Rod and Donna y Familia have been to see us!

Cool!



We had a good couple of weeks with plenty of sunshine, good food and quite a few drinks! We were very glad to have someone to eat and drink with.

We started the holiday with a large bottle of Rum. Well, we had a lot of fresh oranges from Bianca's parents' Finca and they would have gone to waste if we hadn't juiced them quickly.

Most of the photos in this entry were taken by Rod. He took some crackers.

Nice little detail of Arcos.....



Interested in a whole lot of good photo's he took while here, or before come to that, visit...

We took another trip out the the familiar Charco, which Bi and I discovered a couple of months ago.

Here we are on the way...



Here's a little something nasty we found there which was quite unfamiliar...



YES! A SCORPION. Earlier that day we had all been turning over rocks and digging in the leaf fall. Shoes on after finding him!

And this is Ollie on the way back. Tired....




We went to Vejer de la Frontera with them to spend some time near the coast. We stayed in these cute little bungalows, which were very comfortable.



Camping Vejer has a lovely pool...



By the way, it was lovely and HOT! I think these sunflowers were feeling it...



The kids were mad for the pool.

Oscar and Ollie bobbing....



Awwwwwwww...



Tom realised he can swim underwater...




This is the evening sky at the campsite...



We spent a beautiful day at Los Canos de Meca. Where everyone behaved like kids.



Got into the surf...




Munched through some Water Melon...



And generally loved it. Brilliant!


Eventually we had to go home to Arcos....


We took a couple of trips to our most local beach too at El Puerto de Santa Maria. This beach is about 40 minutes easy drive from Arcos and the water is very warm. It's not very busy. I suspect the Spanish consider it a bit cold yet for the beach.




Rod and Donna wanted to pay a visit to the local Friday market called El Barato (The Cheap?) in Arcos. It looks like this...


And this...



But a little bit more blurred and hectic.

Here you get an idea of why I feel so conspicuous round here....




I could put dozens more photo's on this entry as we took hundreds between us. I do have to stop at some point though.

I hope every one had a great time. We really enjoyed having them over. Tom told Oscar that all their holidays will be with us from now on. Hehe. They're welcome.
