13th April - Flamingos and swimming caps

First up today was a cycle to a local nature reserve where there was a very large lake and a chance to see flamingos.

This was better than we expected, there we good wooden walkways and bird hides around and to top it off we saw plenty of flamingos. We were glad we went, it was the highlight of our visit here.

In the afternoon we planned to go to the spa, this was an extra cost but we thought hey whatever. At reception they looked blankly at us as we had no appointment but they managed to find a slot. However, the next comment from reception was "have you got a swimming cap?". As the answer was no and there was an additional cost for the cap of 2 euros we told them they could put their caps where the sun wasn't shining.

Next stop was the bar. Following that we headed for the outdoor pool but the sun went in. Tomorrow we are leaving and we are looking forward to it.

12th April - Expectations not met

It was about 45 minutes drive on to the next stop which was called Camping Alannia. The forecast was for rain so my thought was that this place would be good as it's a resort, with club, nightlife, indoor heated pool etc, things to do on a dull day It is a lovely site but it made us realise that a place like ths is not for us. It's more geared up for kids, music playing everywhere and the indoor pool was closed just after lunch today so we missed it.

This is a family place, it's inland and realy geared up for younger people  not so much for a couple like us.To be fair it didn't help that it was so overcast and rained on and off. A positive is that it's reasonably priced, the pitch is huge and drinks are cheap as usual. A pint of beer and large glass of red was 6 euros.

We did manage to find the bar and had a good walk around the site. Tomorrow if it stays dry we can cycle to and big lake in a nature reserve and see what that has to offer.
