Farewell to Finca La Mariposa

This is the view we've enjoyed at breakfast for the last two weeks, so it was an effort to drag ourselves away when we left to drive back to Murcia this morning.

A good job I took this as I didn't get to take any more all day: the plan was to take a couple if leisurely stops in the way back but the journey took longer than we thought and, after one or two abortive attempts to stop in Saturday-busy towns, we resorted to using motorway service stations (a different experience to British ones) and after about 8 hours on the road, we were glad to relax and enjoy a great meal and several drinks with our friends Tony & Rosie and Rosie's sister & brother- in- law, Christine & Pete who have been out here for the last week or so.
