CLUB PLAYA VISTA

Saturday 5th January.
Saturday was a very sunny day as set off on our holiday to Calahonda to the timeshare apartment on the sea front.After checking in we were shown to our second floor apartment with a very large t-shaped lounge,two bedrooms,two bathrooms and a large kitchen all of which had just been recently refurbished to a very high standard.The site is right on the sea shore and you can hear the waves crashing in at all times,which is very soothing,the sun sets are to die for and the views across to Africa are unbelievable.During the day we can also see all the cruise liners and large container ships departing from Malaga down towards Gibraltar.The pictures below show the view from the balcony,the lounge and the pool at sunset.
Sunday 6th January.
The sign on the A-340 says “Riviera” to find the Playa de Vista apartments and we woke up to another warm and sunny day.We went out to check the local area and get our bearings foe shopping, drinking!and eating!We have settled in and had oue first bath since we came back! Whilst we were out we were approached by two people and given two scratch cards,as we rubbed off the cards we had won a bottle of champagne and on the other one,the star prize,they were timeshare sharks but as we had nothing else better to do we went along with them for a free lunch and presentation,said no and came away with a free holiday and £300 of free flights!! Watch this space!
Monday7th January.
After a lie in we put on our summer clothes as the sun was out again and went to the local bar for a lunchtime drink as it was the bank holiday ,on the way back we spotted “Max's”beach restaurant which is on the sea front next to us and as we were on foot we called in for another one! It is a very popular spot and is well known in the area but was closing later in the day for a month for refurbishment,so we will try it in the future.In the afternoon we went back to the Winnebago and picked up a bottle of champagne and called into see Vidal as it was his birthday,it was a surprise and we also took with us some Apple pie and ice cream as it is his favourite! Back at the apartment we have been eating all our meals on the balcony,the only problem being that we have to cook with Electricity-which we hate!!
Tuesday 8th January.
We called the garage on Tuesday morning after the long holiday weekend only to find out that the part had not arrived so we would have to wait a little longer for the car to be ready.Today it was grey and overcast so we stayed in and did some reading.
Wednesday 9th January.
First thing in the morning I rang the garage only to find out that after fitting the new part yet another new electrical motor is required-at this moment I lost my cool and to say that we are not happy is a understatement! We called Mano and asked him to ring and check out in Spanish what is happening to the car and us!We then went over to the garage in Marbella and told them what we thought about them-In English.We have come to an arrangement and hopefully we we will have the car before we set off back to Estepona on Saturday.Tomorrow we are going to have a day out in Malaga,so watch out for the pictures.
