We did it!

Our plan had always been to have a swim in the sea and a BBQ on the beach on Christmas day. If the weather hadn't been warm enough I think we would still have done it, but....the sun shone and although the sea is obviously a bit colder at this time of year (17° C we were told), the beach was packed with people in various fancy dress costumes, tables, chairs and BBQs!
Here are a few pictures to prove 'we did it'.



We didn't expect to see so many others on the beach Christmas morning, as every other morning we've had it to ourselves.


We did put our shoulders under as well but it wasn't captured on camera!


















Although it felt a bit chilly in the sea, we felt warm enough when we came out to stay in our swimming stuff for half an hour while we cooked our starters on the BBQ
The couple on the right are our neighbours, June and Geoff. The couple on the left are their friends who have an apartment in the village. We have had some lovely evenings together and we will miss them all as we move on.

After eating hot dogs and chicken legs on the beach we slowly packed up and returned to the caravan where we spent time contacting various members of the family. We ended the day with a candle lit dinner for two. Who knows how we will spend Christmas next year!
