Saturday.. Lazy morning then went into Cabo de Palos for a stroll & Morning coffee. Decided a cake was also needed!! Then did some shopping at the local 'Upper' surmarket. Trying to see how I can get a Spanish gas cylinder for the van!Hi All
We are now at Caravanning La Manga on the Mar Menor. The Mar Menor (little sea or small sea) is a salty lagoon in the south-east of Murcia separated from the Mediterranean by La Manga (Sleeve), a sandbar 22km in length and with a variable width from 100 to 1200m. The La manga strip is very developed with high rise buildings along most of its length & some say it looks like Manhattan from this side of the Mar Menor. Also well known in the area is La Manga Club, an up market golf resort. Very nice if you can afford their prices for a round of golf!
This is the area we lived in for a year in 2005 so it is nice to see how it has changed (not much) over the last 6 years. The last couple of days have been cloudy, but still ‘shorts’ weather for most of the day. We are also looking forward to visiting some of our favourite restaurants. Last night we went down to the site bar/restaurant for a drink & dance!!! Then staggered back to our van.
We are here till the 27th & then we move down to Marbella, but as it is a long drive we will be staying at another site for a week on the way down to break it up.
Tomorrow we have to go into Cartagena to try & get some photo’s done for our replacement passports.

Whilst we have a full size cooker in the van, it is better to cook smelly dishes in the awning. This particular night Janet did prawns in garlic as a starter.. YUMMY!!!
