A bizarre start to the day. A couple of days ago we bought a half day tour to a market in a town more inland. We were up at 6:30 as we had to meet the coach at the Dolphin Roundabout at 08:20. We were there on time and a car pulled up. The man who got out was from the tour company and he had a plastic bag with our money in it for the tour. It appeared that all the markets have been quarantined for the next two weeks. He didn’t have our cell number so came personally to apologize and refund our money.
We decided to walk down to the square and had a second breakfast. We then walked down to a bar overlooking the sea and spent some time drinking fresh orange juice, coffees, and I had my first cocktail of the holiday, a coconut mojito. We stayed there until it was time to find a different place for lunch.
We chose a small restaurant in the main square and had fun listening to a group of women talking about what they cooked for their family. One woman said that the family only ate pizza. When asked about the family eating vegetables, she said that they never ate vegetables and even when she cut up a tomato to eat with the pizza, they never touched it. When another woman was asked about the vegetable her family ate, all she could think of was asking if baked beans were vegetables as that’s all her family would eat. Good for a giggle to listen to this. Jamie Oliver, you are fighting a losing battle.
We are now home and may go out later for dinner although we both ate a good lunch, without vegetables unless you count the mushy peas that Brian got with his fish and chips!
We are waiting to hear about whether or not the walking holiday is a go for next Saturday. If it isn’t, we will have to rethink the rest of the holiday.
