Well, we know where the people from Liverpool disappeared to yesterday morning
. In fact, we inadvertently followed them twice! The first time we walked to Lidl's and found an area with camping cars parked so we went back and got our van, moved onto the area and spotted Mr & Mrs Liverpool tucked in the corner.
The roadside parking was okay but we were woken early by the builders arriving to work on the 'not abandoned' building next to us. On top of that one side of our van has changed colour where the wind and rain blew the builder's sand onto the side. I wonder, if we asked Mr Belgian Concorde man (who spent all yesterday cleaning his huge great bus only to have it rained on later), would he spend half that time cleaning ours for us.
After having shopped at Lidl's we saw Mr & Mrs Liverpool had gone. Feeling a lot better we walked around the lake, complete with A flock of Flamingoes on it, near to the Mercadona supermarket and discovered a whole new parking area. We moved ourselves quick in case it became jam packed like the private aire we'd passed (packed in like sardines they were)
. Who did we discover - yep! Mr & Mrs Liverpool. Woke up this morning - they've gone again. Perhaps they think we're stalkers!
We love this place, near to the sea, supermarkets etc. It doesn't have services here, but Mike was speaking to an English couple who told him you are able to use the ones at the 'sardine can' for between 3 & 4€ so we may well stay another day (depending on the weather).
There's a big fenced off petanque area just across the parking so Mike and I went and had a couple of games before lunch.
After a lovely bacon butty (a whole pack of bacon in two sandwiches) for lunch, we set off for a lovely sea prom walk. The weather was T shirts and shorts or as Mike puts it 'show off your tattoo' weather. We saw at least two people with their spare legs alongside them on the beach!
We're still here in Calpe
