Monday, 5 September, afternoon

After spending more boring time on the “anchor” job, I finally escape for a walk in the sun and then a brief respite at the pool reading Frank’s book. A guy recognises it and we determine we are on the tour together.

At 4:30, two young Spanish girls show up at the room – sound interesting? It is the promised massage and they bring their massage tables with them. An hour long massage brightens up the environment a bit.

After a brief nap, we head up to the pool to meet the group. Frank & Casey are there plus our new tour chums. A couple of drinks is very pleasant.

We head off in a 14 seater van to a place called Bar Velodromo. It is well known. We order a bunch of tapas, mostly very good although we failed again with the tomato bread. The pictures also show a duck dish with a sauce which is described as a dessert sauce. The Duck was a bit tough but at least it was Duck.
