This was our last week at “Calle de Fragata 4” and on reflection, it has been an enoyable stay, with great walks, a very welcoming tennis club and the interesting Playa de Jardin to march along every morning at dawn. We’ve been deliberating for the past few weeks on where to go to next and as Rachel’s 90 days in Europe are up in February, we’ve decided on the African continent, but before we go we are heading back to the UK to look in on family and friends. Saturday was moving day for us, so for our final 14 days before our travel intermission, we’ve decided to try out city living and have moved downtown. Part of the trip is about being open to different lifestyles, to help us decide on where, what and how we live the next chapter of our lives, (Rachel’s much better at this than I am). We are travelling with far too much luggage, as when we left in September we really didn’t know what we’d need, we’ve got a good idea now though. I only mention this as the road we are staying in is a quaint, pedestrianised cobbled street, which meant carrying all of our luggage and shopping, without leaving it unattended on busy Saturday afternoon, from a couple of streets away to where it needed to be, it was like one of those team building exercises, topped off with our apartment being on the top floor with no elevator 🙂 Upon opening the door we were greeted with a small bijou apartment, with a lounge diner opening out onto a small enclosed balcony, a very compact bathroom, a master bedroom and a very small guest room. The location’s great, we’ve got some aclaimed restaurants, organic stores, fresh fish & veg stalls all on our doorstep, together with salt water swimming at Lago Martinez and several black beaches….Perfect!
