A Trip To The Beach

...... where, if you're lucky, you might just have it to yourself! To be fair, it was only this empty because 30 minutes beforehand there'd been a few claps of thunder and a torrential downpour. Not sure whether this couple had toughed it out or whether they'd made a dash for this spot as soon as it stopped.

We were taking a late afternoon stroll on the path that leads from Cala Bosque (rather unfortunately named given the Spanish World Cup exit the night before) to Cala Capitan. Given the return of the sun and the heat, it seemed rude not to join them and we were feeling the effects of a 10k morning bike ride along the canal near to where we are staying.

First BBQ of the holiday followed by the gloom of England's defeat - and less impressive performance - against Uruguay, although, curiously, listening to the commentary in Spanish didn't make the misery and tension seem quite as bad as listening to,what I imagine, we're the moans and criticism of Andy Townsend et al!
