6 nights in which Owen got on first name terms with the local taxi drivers, just wouldn't walk up that hill! Great time on Kims Camping where we met some lovely people who all seemed to have been coming here for upto 40 years. We mainly moved from Lafranc to Callela and on at least 4 nights took our early evening beers at the 3 pins bar, positioned on the promontory between the two resorts but with clear views of Callela.....fabulous spot. Of course we had to visit Tameriu , with Owen and Barb using the bus service , me and Jonesy on the bike. Too steep a ride out of Tameriu so Owen revisited his dear old friend the taxi driver from the night before. Owen of course didn't recognise this man but he recognised Owen. Surprisingly Owen had previously claimed that his trip home that night was provided by a friend of the barmaid who carriaged him up the hill in an unmarked taxi. That wasn't the case , this was a proper marked taxi with a licensed taxi. Anyway you have the details and understand the position postulated. Anyway we returned to the site, quick kip , shower and ready for a drink and evening meal on the site restaurant...no way ....restaurant closed. Fortunately there were two great people on the site , Brian and Christine from the London area who provided us with a packet of bacon and 6 rounds of bread...lifesavers. I later returned to Brian and Christines for a brandy night cap and chat 'till 1 am. They were a lovely couple, he was an ex village bobby. Both had season tickets at Spurs and had them since the old Bill Nicholson days of the 60's. On the tuesday we dropped Owen off at Pallafrugel where he boarded his bus for Barcelona.
