Me and the natural blonde are just back from another fantastic trip to GA.
We stayed at the same place in Novamar 2 as we did last November. The weather was red hot and we had to seek the shade of the balcony/terrace cover more than once…..very unlike us!
We had a trip down the coast to look at Villamartin, Ciudid Quasada and Benijofar.
Didn’t think much of Beni, but the other two had their positives. None were as nice as Gran Alacant though!
We also found time to have a better look around the fantastic Alicante, including the impressive Marina. We plan to spend a night at the hotel in the Marina there to experience it at night during our next trip!
First day breakfast was at La Piedra as usual but we thought we’d try somewhere down the Carabassi as it was closer and ended up at The Phoenix every day. Ann & Don are Geordies and therefore wonderful people!
We got a lot of useful information from them….as well as a great breakfast!
Evening meals were at The Gourmet curry place …Twice, The Alexandria, Aquarius and Shooters.
Curry was lush. Fish and chips at Aquarius too. Had a beautiful steak at the Alexandria.
I had the burger at Shooters which wasn’t great. Tasted cheap!
The visit to Aquarius was spent with friends who have a place out there….and are still there…which is nice….for them! ***Waves at laptop screen***. Not jealous….not at all……!
We also squeezed in a trip to the beach which was as good as last time. You’re so lucky to have such a fantastic coast line.
We had a day round the pool and can’t for the life of me understand how there could only be us there on a Sunday? Such a waste!
Hired a car from Record Go again but paid the insurance this time just in case. Whilst nothing happened, it was a weight off the shoulders. We got a discount and a free upgrade to a sporty little Clio GT Line.
I used to make a big thing of filling up hire cars before returning them coz they “rip you off” with their re-fuelling prices, but having actually calculated it, its next to nothing and not worth the bother!
They had refunded the unused fuel before we landed home. It’s good to not have a €900 hold on my credit card hanging over me!
Hoping to have another trip this year…..maybe September.
Also hoping that the new style homes they’re building will be up for next summer’s trip and hopefully a ‘Linda’ style will available to book for a week so we can see if we like them. We’ve viewed one, but need to try before we buy…if we do?
…Brexit n’ all.
Cheers
Davy !!!
