Today was loosely designated a shopping day so we set off to
Arrecife to the 'Centro Commercial' which we had seen described on TripAdvisor as
'a little gem'. Having found our way into the extremely quiet underground car
park and then into the shopping centre which had no shops, we soon realised we
were in the wrong place. Google maps then directed us to the correct mall - the 'Open Mall Centro Commercial'. This really was a little gem with several shops
including a very nice Primark.
We then headed to Matagorda and Elizabeth had fun shopping in the little gift
shop which Mike and Marion had enjoyed earlier in the year. It was then time
for a quick drink before going to Puerto Calero again to investigate the hotels there and to have an ice cream in El Tomate. We then returned to the hotel for a long
overdue pitcher of sangria.
When we arrived last Thursday we were told we could have an a la carte dinner
one evening and that was scheduled for tonight. We were greeted with a glass of
cava and then were invited to order a 4-course dinner. The food was delicious
but the portions were huge and we virtually waddled out of the dining room when
we had finished eating.

| Just like with the Pandora shop a few days ago, it was only a matter of time before Elizabeth sniffed this place out! |
