CAMPING PARQUE TROPICAL -ESTEPONA

Wednesday 14th November.
On Wednesday evening we went into Estepona as Brenda had an appointment at the dentists at 5-30pm to have some x-rays,and when we came out we were surprised to see so many people in the town as when we are there in the early afternoon it goes quite for the siesta time but the town comes to life again as the shops open and the locals come out to promenade thru the town centre as the evening sun goes down.In the evening we had a light supper and watched TV.
Thursday 15th November.
We had a quiet day at home and in the afternoon I made a dish of Lamb Chops Boulangere which we had for supper with some local red wine.
Friday 16th November.
We went to the Congress Centre in Estepona in the morning as there was a “Over 50s” lifestyle show on for two days-we had a look around but there was too many old people and the first stand by the entrance was for funeral plans!! We stopped off in the flower square for lunch at our favourite restaurant but it was closed so we went to another one and had a nice meal of Pork stew
and Calamaris with the local tinto blanco. In the evening we watched a DVD.
Saturday 17th November.
We went out to do the weekend shopping after servicing the Winnebago and called into Manilva to pick up a spit roasted chicken as we had invited Gissy around for supper which consisted of Fresh Asparagus,smoked salmon and Chicken salad washed down with a local tinto rose which Gissy likes; the evening was finished off when Vidal rang from Germany!
Sunday 18th November.
The morning started off grey but went hot and sunny by the time we set off to Manilva for the tapas run,we met Mano,Anna and Carlos in the main street and five hours later we ended up staying the night at Mano's where we had a late supper of fried local eggs,peppers and chips!! Yet again one “Helluva” day.
