The day after our Valencia Tour, we returned to l’Olleria. Alison had picked up a hire car, ready for Tina and I to join her in Andalucia. Sadly Tracey could not join us, as she had to return to her family. However, we were able to get a few more hours together before we parted company for the next 12 months!
It was a long drive to Alison’s holiday home, and we missed the supermarkets by the time we got there, but she had the basics in stock, such as fresh water and wine.

The next day (Monday), we had a day at the beach, before stopping at a bar on the way home. In this area, tapas are served with every round of drinks ordered.

Alison and I tried out our Spanish and both of us admitted, that we were nearly fluent, by the time we had had our third drink!!!
Tuesday we had to drive back up again, but we were able to break the journey with a visit to Tracey, still in La Zenia, and catch up with her children. It was a lovely stop, but over all too quickly, as she had to go to the airport.
It was lovely to see them all again, but thank goodness for technology, enabling us all to keep in touch, wherever we are.
