Fri 23 Feb 12° Cabo de Palos lighthouse to St Javier, Mar Menor

Clear, crisp day, pale blue sky as we drive to other end of the Mar Menor to our campsite for a few days, it's a new site and has opening goal special for €7.

We drove past lots of green crops being harvested along a very smooth road, past orange orchards, very pretty green trees dotted with round orange balls like round xmas trees.

Called into Lidl for top ups just around the corner to camp. The camp was very popular, 200 pitches of 3 different sizes, we had a choice of 20 standard pitches all with Ehu,  wifi was €3 for up to a week.

Just by the reception was a rotisserie chicken van and a lady selling bags of oranges. Bought 1/2 a hot cooked chicken €4.

After lunch did washing €3 but a small machine and one cycle took 2 Hours!  as did the dryer....out first load out on the communal clothes line, but not much heat in the sun.

Hot clean showers , easy walk to the beach and half hour to the English sports bar for the rugby tomorrow.
