Joanna didn't wake until 8am - ah bless (and bliss for the rest of us - it was fine and sunny and the wind had died down a little overnight. I felt brave enough to do some washing a assume a) it would dry and b) it wouldn't get blown away. Louise was in disgrace (and I've no intention of embarrassing her by telling you why, I can only say I understand how primitive cave painting was invented!). Mid morning Jo was tired so she went to bed and we were left sitting outside the tent again.
We went for lunch to the Hotel Mirimar - nice but not exceptional, don't think they try hard enough in resorts, captive audience. We started with pate and salad, then David had some sort of fish, no idea what, the names don't necessarily correspond to English, I somehow thought that fish would have universal names because they're fished for in international waters, but les anglais haven't got a fish called Colin, don't think there's even one called Nigel either ... The girls and I had pork chops and pommes frites and strawberries to follow. Jo loved strawberries but Louise wasn't not so sure.
Went to the beach in the afternoon, temperature was 24 degrees but the sea temp only 16.5, took my breath away. The troops whinged most of the afternoon so we put them in the double buggy and wheeled them back. Louise fell asleep immediately which is dire - if she only slept for a few minutes during the day, we wouldn't be able to get her to bed before 11pm.
Joanna had the runs, and exhausted went to sleep, but woke up at 8pm so then we couldn't get either of them to sleep - this was turning into a marathon holiday and I wondered when we could decently pack up and go home.
