    Quiet day in Benalmadina

    We've had a quiet day today. I had a good walk before breakfast, after which we took the Hop on Hop off down to the Marina.

    Stopped for a drink along the beach as we walked back to our hotel. Some of the restaurants there have wood fire barbeques to cook sardines over the fire. We should perhaps give them a try. Our only experience with sardines are those canned and served on toast.

    Spend a few hours at the pool, then off to dinner at the Trattoria. Order an amazing dish for 2. Beef, pork, chicken, and 2 types of sausage, as well as salad and fries. Enough meat left over for dinner tomorrow.

    Sitting on our balcony drinking decaf this evening, listening to the waves coming in and the entertainer at the lounge. A lovely evening.
