We awoke early after a really good night's sleep. We had
planned an early breakfast as we wanted to see Keir Starmer's interview on
Laura Kuenssberg promising that things can only get better - after they've go much worse! We know, we're sad 🤣.
For a few years it has been a family tradition to have a lunchtime bottle of
cava. Here it's part of our daily morning breakfast routine. The Spanish know
how to live!
Today was designated a relax by the pool day so we found ourselves a couple of
sunbeds and an umbrella and enjoyed listening to our own music and reading
until our time was shattered by aqua aerobics with the portable speaker sitting right next to us.
We went for our usual lunchtime beer and decided to have a snack whilst we
listened to the hotel pianist who played a lovely selection of music by
well-known singer-songwriters. This is the first time he has played at lunchtime o we hope it might now happen more often.
Dinner tonight was the usual extensive buffet and we discovered an area we
hadn't seen before where we could get a range of desserts including ice cream.
We’re staying at the Hipotel Natura Palace in Playa Blanca. The demographic here is quite interesting. The majority of guests are retired with a number of younger people in what is an ‘adults only’ hotel.
The vast majority of guests are from the UK but there is a smattering of Spanish, French and German being spoken.
There is some low-level musical entertainment each evening which starts around 9pm and which doesn’t go on until much after 11pm. There are some activities during the day including the aqua aerobics as already mentioned and bingo!
