TARIFA CASA OLIMPIA.

Monday 23rd February.

First thing in the morning we shot across to Casa Olimpia above Tarifa as Chris and Kerry were going to drive to Portugal as they had a meeting in Lisbon;they then got caught up with phone calls and E-mails as they also work from home and so they did not leave for Portugal until well after lunch! We then moved in and soon set up “ Home ”for the next week or so; after a quick sandwich with Joan,Chris’s mum we then went over to Tarifa to the new Mercadona Hypermarket to stock up with the essentials,they have a excellent fish counter so we picked up some fresh Salmon Fillets for dinner.The two dogs,Boo and Millie are very good and the three cats on the lower ground floor are no problem and we have settled into a routine with them for feeding and going out.In the afternoon we sit out on the balcony and watch the Eagles circling in the hills beside the villa and we also watch the ships passing through the Straits of Gibraltar on their way to the Atlantic or into the Mediterranean,the picture below shows a white passenger ship on its way from Tanger to Algeciras and a cargo ship on the way to Amsterdam! ( I checked on my latest toy) !! As the weather is so nice for the next two days Joan is coming down from her flat in the afternoon to sit in the warm sun as she is recuperating after not being too well over the New Year.In the evening we take her dinner up to her,she has a very good appetite and is enjoying our food and Brenda’s vegetables.
