The long weekend.

As discussed many times on this blog, the Spanish don't 'arf av some holidays. This saturday its Alicante day (dont ask) and Tuesday is National Day to commemorate Christopher Columbus discovering America. AYE UP...Chris was an Italian and he never actually discovered Americal. It was discovered 500 yre earlier by the Vikings and in particular a guy called Leif Erickson, who originated from Greenland or thereabouts so maybe the Greenlandians should have another bank holiday added to the handful they celbrate. For the Spanish to claim this is like saying us Brits should have a bank holiday to celebrate Boris Johnson discovering child poverty. But anyway they are all enjoying havind Sat, Sun, Mon and Tuesday setting firecrackers off and getting drunk. But apart from the bars and restaurants being busy its no big deal for us two. We carry on enjoying the relaxation and stress free strolls and bike rides down to the beach.
