Day 25 - Ménage à Trois

We both woke up with bad backs from having just the one airbed to sleep on. Despite this we didn’t get out of bed until gone 9am, then dithered and dallied around camp. It was gone 11am before we ventured out to the beach despite it being a gloriously sunny morning.

After less than an hour on the beach, black clouds arrived and the beach emptied. We were forced to follow the crowds and return to camp. We had an early tapas lunch of olives, silver skin onions and a lovely nutty local cheese, oh and some wine.

After lunch we had a long walk along the beach, then decided to persevere sunbathing in the occasional glimpse of sun between the clouds. It was a disappointing day weather wise, especially when we knew that it was hotter and sunnier at home.

That evening we had the pizza previously chosen by Jackie, which was lovely, but didn’t have the wow factor that it had the 1st time of eating. For clarification it was the Pizza Diavoli, that was topped with salami, cheese, onions and peppers.

We finished just in time to watch the final England group match, but after trying and trying, I couldn’t get it up on my iPad. We were forced to go to the bar and watch it on the tv . We took our own drinks to save on cost. The Italian families that were in the vicinity, but weren’t even watching the football made so so much noise that we couldn’t concentrate properly on the game, which was probably a good thing!

The game was an absolute embarrassment. Only Kobbie Mainoo was entitled to leave the field with his head held high! To add to my disappointment, at the final whistle, the waiter believing that I had purchased drinks from the bar insisted on relieving me of one of our prized beer glasses. I attempted to explain that it was my glass, but I knew when it was time to cut my losses.

That night we went to bed with Lolly - our Zoom lolly shaped lilo, at the end of the bed to try and compensate for the lack of a second airbed. She wasn’t perfect, but we will be sleeping with her again!
