Father Christmas

Calpe rock

Today we went to Calpe for a wander around the fishing port.  Lots of fishing boats in port, nets being repaired, and a boat being filled with ice in preparation for a fishing trip.  A walk through the town took us to a lagoon with pink flamingos, and an island filled with herons.  Alas the flamingos were a little too far off to make a good photograph.

On the way back to the car we took a walk under and part way around Calpe Penon de Ifach, the rock.  Here we saw some scuba divers in training, followed by a flying display of starlings.  On the Calpe rocks there were a group of midgets scaling its dizzy heights.  We will be meeting them at the top on another, less windy day.

Back home for lunch, and then a visit to Chris, Yvonne and Scamp.  Plans were laid for a Thursday wine tasting and tapas lunch. Afterwards a drink in the Hallelujah bar  to meet Jim  followed by shopping in the local Jalon supermarket.
