Woke up to beautiful birdsong. A lovely little bird on our terrace was singing his heart out... The sun was already warm as we went for breakfast. We sauntered off after eating to the marina, downhill about 10 mins, but with me probably 15, we sat watching the boats with a coffee until the land train came.
We got on that and started the 50 minute round trip. It took you to Torre Abbey. You could jump off there if you wanted, or continue to the beach which we did.
The beach was lovely, and we sat with a lovely cool breeze for a while. Then we crossed the road to look round the Abbey Park. We had water and an ice cream from the kiosk and sat people watching. Witnessed a young Mum have a go at a bloke because he went to the baby change loo in front of her ( no kid, obviously didn't care) while she was managing a toddler and a baby who both needed changing. Bloke couldn't care less, and she gave him a mouthful.
He turned to me ( I was sat on the wall waiting for Kev who was using the pay loos round the other side) and said to me I have every right to use a loo that's open right? I turned round and said, no, that's free for mothers and babies, the ones round the other side are 20p for everyone else. He carried on muttering and said something about us slags sticking together. I just called him a cockwomble. That shut him up and made the young Mum laugh at least.
Typically the husband/boyfriend of the Mum turned up just as she'd struggled both kids inside. He didn't even offer to help. Useful twonk obviously.
We found the bus stop after about 3pm, just outside the park and headed back to the hotel. Kev had a snooze and a shower while I sat out on the little sun trap enjoying the sun and reading. As it was the last night we couldn't be bothered to go back to the harbour and opted to sit on the pool/bar terrace. We were there till the entertainment was on and then took our wine inside watching the live version of Neptune's bar once more. One thing I do have to say is the bar in the hotel is very cheap. The pints were £3 and shorts were £2 with mixer, I opted for a bottle of rose at £10, with lemonade to spritz it which was a £1 a can. Compared to the harbour the night before a bargain. I think that's why most people hung around there to be fair. Kev said they probably do it to keep the trade from the groups they get in from companies like National Holidays.
