Wed 24 Jan 10° Mojacar

Day out today, asked at reception for bus info, Mario's brother asked where we wanted to go, said he was going to Garrucha he will drive us. How kind, he spoke good English and gave us some info as we drove along the 5km. When we arrived he asked if we had breakfast and would we like coffee, he took us into a harbour cafe where he told us they make local delicacies......churros......Long thin doughnuts, he bought and paid wouldn't let us give him money. We had coffee with condenced milk,  very strong and sweet, with the churros which he wouldn't have any of, he had his coffee gave us a few pointers of local area and he left us to enjoy his treat.

Had a walk down through the fishing boats and along the harbour, walked back through the town and had coffee looking at the water, very pleasant, coffee was €1 each.

Strolled back to the end of town and caught the bus back €1.20, we stayed on till the end to see how far it went, but just did the circuit between end of Mojacar and Garrucha. He thought it was strange we had stayed on and when he stopped for his 10 min break he asked where we wanted to go, had a chat and a laugh then he drove on and we got off at the Dia supermarket. Tried the Trufi bar for their goulash soup on Pat's recommendation but they had none on today.

Called in to supermarket for few bits they had dry London gin for €4.20 700ml bottle plus 6 cans of tonic total less than 1 glass of gin and tonic in a bar......that's how they make their money.

Walked back to camp, Pat rang said diesel is up to €1.50 and lpg .90c in France so stick to the ferry from Spain.

Had a message from Tracey who was interested in Bessie, said they will come down to Portsmouth when we get back to have a look.

Looked at booking the ferry.

Bought a large cauliflower and broccoli so had a cauliflower smash with pepper cheese sauce and diced roast pork....yummmm.
