Woke up today to cloudy skies - good weather for driving. Reluctantly we made our goodbyes to Exercise Alley, yes they were still out there today, flexing their already toned muscles, jealous me? Never!!
We made our way down the N340 heading further south, stopped at Lidl for a few provisions in Estepona then onward and upward towards Gib and the rock. The computer connection was playing up yesterday so we had to try and get a new part for the charger - Carrefour looked a good bet so we stopped there and successfully purchased a connection of sorts and also THE TIN OPENER!! We approached Gib, and the surrounding areas were, to us, dreadful so we decided to motor on - into Tarifa, quite an old town with ferries to Tangier - we did contemplate taking a trip there but eventually decided to travel on "Next time" Dieter said!! The beaches around Tarifa are fantastic and we explored a number of them, including a deserted army camp, looking for a good place for an overnight stop. Because of the great sites we have had, we have become very fussy about where we should stay. Once again we have seen some wonderful sights, near the abandoned army base there were some huge sand dunes, we sat and watched some people wind surfing and kite surfing before driving on further, finally coming to a stop at a beautiful beach at Bolonia. This place looks like a desert island - so picturesque, with the golden sand and the turquoise blue of the waves lapping on the shore, what else could we do but take a stroll along this deserted beach and dip our feet into the cool, cool waters. It is almost sun set as I am writing this and the picture through the window of the sun going down on this sandy bay is breathtaking - I will try and capture this on camera and hopefully post it. We are off now for supper.
