CASA OLIMPIA.

This morning after packing and getting ready to move out we had still not received a phone call from Chris to confirm when they will be back so we had to go down to Tarifa to stock up for the weekend again;the sun is out ( 24 Degs. and Rising) and the wind has dropped so we found the beach at the start of the bay and took the pictures below to show what a spectacular setting it is here in Tarifa.The first picture shows Joan and Brenda on the Web-Cam after lunch as we practised using it for the first time! They are now sat on the balcony having their afternoon tea and cake in the very warm sunshine.
PS; Chris phoned in the late afternoon and we don't think that we will be home before Monday at the earliest,the start of week six-the saga continues!

CASA OLIMPIA.

Tuesday 3rd March.

CASA OLIMPIA.

Today is the first day for a week that we have been able to go out in the garden,we have blue skies with some clouds,warm sun and views across the Straites of Gibraltar to Africa; The pictures above also show the new villa just above us and the older ones to the side;the Spanish enclave of Ceuta is in the left hand corner of the picture and the start of the Atlas Mountains behind the ship are very clear as well.The pictures below give you a idea of the size of the villa on the side of the valley on the hill overlooking Africa;the mature garden is full of fruit trees on the lower level and mature trees around the edges.It is just off the main road to Tarifa and onto Cadiz;this is also the area all around the hills and mountains for the largest wind farm in Europe.
