Lazy Saturday

Oh bliss, a lazy day, nothing much to do just relax and watch the world go by after all it is Saturday and a Bank Holiday weekend Saturday at that

A stroll across the bridge and along the promenade, watching out for the huge pelicans resting on the lamp posts overhead, admiring the expansive sweep of the bay, people fishing off the rocks and others messing about on boats. A coffee each and a raspberry muffin to share at starfish café before we finish the walk back over the bridge. Now comes the interesting part: the bridge is suddenly shut to traffic and pedestrians but half way across the bridge, the reason, a boat is about to go under the bridge and it needs to open. It doesn’t cantilever like most bridges we’ve seen before, the whole middle section rises up. It all takes about 5 minutes before everything is back to normal, such a slick operation, all automatic controlled by the “house” on top of the bridge, now that’s where we should live!

We spend the afternoon between the pool and sitting on the grass overlooking the bay, listening to the bird sounds get louder and louder, 6.30pm is feeding time for them and they’re restive! It’s such a beautiful evening we decide to go out to eat at a Tapas bar we’ve seen by the waterfront. The setting is perfect, the evening balmy and the meal wonderful, lamb stifado, crispy slow roast pork and white beans.
