CAMPING PARQUE TROPICAL

Sun/Mon/Tues/Wed/Thurs-8th./9th/10th/11th/12th April.
After a Easter treat-cooked breakfast off Smoked Bacon and Pork and Leek
sausages we went for a drive around our haunts in Estepona and Sabinillas,then
when we arrived back we discovered our problems with the blog page when we
went on line to blog!On Monday which is not a bankholiday here we had planned
to go out but as the weather was not good we decided to cook our Leg of Lamb
for dinner .As we started we saw Vidal and Gisela ordering a take out,so we
asked them to join us for an Easter dinner with all the trimmings-Roast potatoes,
Leeks in Cheese sauce,Carrots,Braised Onions,Cauliflower and Broccoli all served
with Mint sauce and Gravy !When they arrived we opened a bottle of Champagne
and the party started-Vidal had brought his Drums and Bongo's and he showed me
how to play the Bongo's,Gisela also brought a starter of Smoked Salmon and
Pasta which we had with the local Rose wine,then we progressed onto Brenda's
Bacardi and Coke's!! Later on in the early hours of the morning Gisela who is a
Hairdresser ended up cutting and styling Malcolm's hair,including shaving the top
of his head and Brenda's hair is as short as it has ever been and is feathered
around her face-it's like being with a new woman!! The party broke up around
4-00am in the morning,but we don't have far to go.On Tuesday after a late start
we went into Marbella to pay for the car and then went to see our timeshare on
the other side of Marbella and did a deal with the local agent to join the local
timeshare club with no fee's and use of it for the next 15 years! Wednesday and
Thursday was spent on the site catching up with the chores but with one problem,
the microwave door broke.After an initial panic we asked Vidal for help as he is
very hands on!! He came and took the door apart and found that the door catch
and spring had broken off,so he then proceeded to repair the parts and glued and
with his soldering iron re-built the catch-"Hey-Presto" it worked !! He has now been
appointed our official "Handyman" !!!
