Still not moved from Javea!

We should have left Javea about 3 weeks ago but as previously stated the weather keeps looking good. OK we had a couple of days where it went cold with a few showers but faced with the prospect of another drive further south or a return to a cold uk we just keep staying here. The semi final rugby with New Zealand was a great watch down at The  Geographic where there was a fab atmosphere and it was exciting watching the Liverpool v Tottenham game in the same place. The pool is due to close on 31st Oct, in a few days but to be honest its gone too cold to enjoy a swim in it, the sea is a much better option with temps still around 22c. We've had a few beach days lately and some good meals and drinks in the bar. The plan is to leave probably on Friday and start the journey home after stopping at Oropresa and Roses.

A good night at the site bar to see Bernie and Sue off.

On Friday we said goodbye to our good neighbours Derek and Beryl. We enjoyed their company and shared a couple of nice meals down the port with them along with several early evening drinks. During one of these sessions Jonesy decided to do a dump on their pitch and fortunately they took this in their stride and will no doubt never forget us for this incident.
Jonesy hasn't been at his best recently and has paid another trip to the vets in Javea for an open sore on his neck and a skin irritation. He's responded well to the treatment but also appeared to have a flare up with his dodgy knee when he started crying during the night. However all in all we continue to have a really lovely time in Javea. The weather continues to be excellent with temps continuing around the 29c mark, however this is all set to change tomorrow when we expect temps to drop to 20c. The big match with Man utd is today and we will be 'up for cup' later when we march into the port to watch it at the Cheers Bar down at the port.

Will we ever leave Javea.

The show continues folks, and so does the excellent weather, however it did get a little cold last night and this morning. We keep saying that we'll stay a little longer especially when we have those little magical moments. For example the other night when we went down to the Arenal beach to catch the last rays of the early evening sun whilst sipping pints of Mahou. Then last night we went down to the harbour area and had yet another meal at Ca Maria where we were served by the ever comedic Darius.  As we were eating, the moon slowly popped its head up over the horizon and slowly rose in the sky casting its silver pathway over the sea. A glorious moment and yet another scrumptious meal.         My rehabilitation back into tennis continues with the help of our neighbours Beryl (borrowed racquet) and Derek (doubles partner). After a half hour knock up the other day I agreed to an organised doubles match with Tony and Richard. The first game was surprisingly terminated at 2-6, 4-1 due to a rain shower, the first in over 5 weeks. However the rematch was today where we won convincingly 6-1, 6-2. A really good competitive game.                                                                                  Since the last post we also went to the Tapas festival last Friday night with Derek and Beryl. The harbour area was buzzing with street entertainers that included jazz and brass bands. People were as Martha sang....'Dancing in the street'. Another fab night and another reason for staying longer.

All I can say it that there was some action.

STILL IN JAVEA.

The excellent weather continues with every day being 29c. The reds keep winning, the sun is shining, the beer and the food is cheap and the sea is warm , so we are staying longer than intended. Jonesy celebrated his 4th birthday yesterday although we are not sure how he did it but he looked happy.
