a beef curry for dinner.We made contact with Penny our friend from Bridgnorth

car is dropped off.Wedesday started with a surprise! On Tuesday evening two
motorcaravans pulled into the spots next to us with Spanish plates and we did
not see anybody untill Wednesday morning when much to our surprise we
discovered that they were English but lived in Spain near Almeria!John and
Mary Nicholls got chatting to us and introduced us to their friendsJim and
Annabel Gray who had lived in North Wales and Parkgate in the Wirral ! so
we caught up with all the old haunts and people from the past, whilst Mary gave
us all the details about the sites around Almeria and exchanged E-mail address's
and phone numbers for when we make our way up the coast later in the year,which was very nice of them.We then shot off to Benalmadena Marina were we had
arranged to meet Penny and her friend Margret for lunch.After a slight detour we
found them in a bar on the front and walked around to a fish restaurant and had a
lovely lunch and caught up with all the news;The weather was grey and damp but
there was some spectacular" breakers "on the beach infront of us and the local
surfers were out !!
