Hi, my blog is a record of our year(ish) long tour of Europe, an idea sprung on me by my husband last year. A word of warning to anyone reading this who doesn't know me, I have an inability to use one word when a hundred will do, in fact this blog is the antithesis of Twitter! It also includes EXTENSIVE use of the words beautiful, pretty, nice, gorgeous, tasty, lovely and wonderful amongst others! I'll attempt to use some different words occasionally to ring the changes.
Altea
We passed Cormorants sunning themselves.
The cycle path took us past a piece of beach covered in vegetation.
Lovely view across the bay.
Along beside the white stony beach.
Come back!
It was a lovely cycle to El Portet.
On your marks! Get set! Go!
Happy and smiley…….
My lovely husband coming down to carry my bike up to the next level.
Exploring Altea.
Pretty designs on the path, that must have taken a huge amount of time to lay.
Parròquia de Nostra Senyora del Consol.
We can see two blue church domes.
Zooming in on ornate church domes.
Is that Benidorm on the horizon?
Outside the restaurant/ice cream shop.
Darren’s tucking in already.
Ooh! Where there’s a car there must be a road that leads out of town!
More steps. We’ll leave the bikes up there just in case we have to go back up again……….
from the smile on Darren’s face, it’s looking promising.
HUGE wriggly caterpillar.
Gossiping Cormorants
Cycling beside the sea towards Altea.
Pretty statue in Plaça del Convent, Altea, I’ve taken the photo like this because the poor woman has lost a hand!
