CAMPING PARQUE TROPICAL -ESTEPONA

Saturday 10th November.
At the moment the weather starts off grey and cool but then by lunchtime it is hot and sunny so we go out after having a snack to our local haunts for a cool drink and watch the world go by.Vidal has been working on his RV for a change! Before he goes off to Germany on Sunday on business for a couple of weeks so we asked him and Gissy around for supper;we had bought some Pork brochette's from the hypermarket so I grilled them and made some savoury fried rice and a tomatoe herb sauce all washed down with the local vino blanco and for Vidal-Baileys on ice(he likes it)!! We then found our pocket edition Trvial Pursuit and finished the evening with a lively game with two teams fighting to win!
Sunday 11th November.
After a late start we went over to Manilva to see Mano and Anna and found them in the main street that was closed to traffic with their grandson-Fabio,The local council has started a Tapas route on Sunday lunchtime around 11 bars with them serving a tapas and a drink for 1,50e! We soon joined in and went to three bars and got our book stamped to join in with the draw next year!! Later in the day we then went down to the beach front at Sabinillas with Mano and Carlos to watch the Manchester City match in the sports bar on the front and found next to it a BurgerKing bar that overlooks the sea, so at half time we had Big Woppers and fries washed down with beer. We shall return in the next few weeks to get our book stamped and try all the different tapas,Manchester City drew!!
Monday 12th November.
On Monday morning we went into Estepona to make a appointment at the dentists for Brenda and after a coffee we had a look around the shops and then went for a walk around the old part of town in the narrow streets then drove into another part of the old town in the Smart car,which is ideal! Before we dropped down to the marina for a tinto verano and a read of the papers and also we picked up the free local glossy gossip books to catch up with the local news.After supper we watched a Jame Bond film on Spanish tv-they are showing all the films in order every week right from the start-this week it was The Man with the Golden Gun!!
