Monday 13th February - A Walk on the Mild Side

Halfway through. Doesn't time fly! Today is cooler, and almost misty. D has the urge to get some exercise but R's knee still needs some TLC so we agree to do our own things today. Time for a map.
The purple bits are bus rides and the red the bits walked which were around 11km. To be honest there wasn't much to look at apart from a very smart Grey Heron at the creek in Maspalomas.
Once over the dunes and onto the corniche on the south east side of Playa del Ingles the undeniable progress of the sand becomes apparent. 
The walk along the corniche descends to mere promenade status as one walks east and is quite bracing although not to Skegness standards.
 Even on a very murky day like today the breeze off the sea is at about 20°C, shorts and t shirts weather. The view looking back from the end of D's walk sums up the weather today.
R had a peaceful day in the Botanic Gardens watching canaries and supper was an omelette. 
Even the beer of the day was dull. 
No flavour or body as if somebody had set out to clone Bud Light. * (out of five).

Is there Bucky in El Bulli? **

Tonight's beautifully crafted post has disappeared into the ether. There's not much left apart from a joke about teenage Motherwell's favourite beverage and a long gone restaurant. There will be riots in Lanarkshire if they try charging that much.

Saturday 25th February - Eating Out

Image
R is greatly improved today and celebrates by flooding the bathroom and bedroom. Luckily the cleaners have started work and we are able to borrow a mop and bucket.  Crisis over we take the shuttle to Playa del Ingles and enjoy a stroll along the front. We enjoy a beer at Los Bucaneros. The less said about the popcorn the better. We continue along the prom and find a place that is doing sardines. Too good a chance to miss. R ups the stakes by ordering sangria. Lunch was excellent. Back at base for the afternoon R does artistic things while D listens to the football which is a bit more satisfactory than last week. We take the shuttle back to PdE and have a drink before dining. D had totally forgotten about beer of the day but a bar we tried helped out by producing this. Doesn't taste of much at all. We are talking ** at best. For supper we return to the tapas place that we enjoyed a couple of weeks back. It's still great...

Friday 24th February - Enjoy your Turnips.

This won't take long. R has been struck down by the lurgy again and has to go back to bed. D remembers that he forgot to write the blog yesterday and has to have two goes at it as there is a malfunction of some type. We run out of Cold & Flu capsules so D has to go to the chemist. It is getting harder to find a different beer each day. D fails to spot that this one is Gluten Free. Does removing the Gluten take the flavour out? They have awarded themselves cinco estrellas but D is only awarding ** The flat tone of the day is reinforced when a message comes from Jet 2 to tell us that our airport transfer will arrive at 11.00 on Monday. Hopefully R will be a bit better tomorrow. No fruit and veg shortages here.
