We were up early after arriving late last night. Henry was amazing on the plane and was so excited to arrive at his 'holiday house' that he's been talking about for weeks now! We unpacked and got ready and then went straight to Carrefour where we had breakfast and did a huge food shop to last us the week.
We then came home and took a snack up to the pool in the hope of having an hour's sunbathing time. No such luck; Henry was straight in the pool and the only thing that tempted him out was a Kinder egg, and even then he was straight back in afterwards. Not so relaxing for mummy but he's getting so much more confident in the water and he absolutely loved throwing himself in from the sides and swimming up and down.
We had a lovely lunch on the terrace before a long siesta in bed. A proper Spanish treat.
As soon as we got up we got ready to head to the beach. We sat in a little beach club on the sand, ate ice creams, had drinks and enjoyed a couple of hours of sunshine whilst Henry played on the beach. He's absolutely in his element digging in the sand, collecting shells and paddling in the water and we had a lovely few hours before coming home for bath and shower time.
We got ready for dinner (Henry thought it was very odd to be having a bath and not going straight to bed after it) and went to a little Italian just down the road from the apartment. I had a Spanish tuna salad, one of my favourite things to eat in Spain, and a huge bowl of pasta. Henry demolished his pasta and lots of olives too and after we'd all finished we brought a very tired boy home for stories in his pyjamas on the terrace. There were loads of swallows darting around the sky and he loved watching them as the sun was setting.
Off to bed now for a nice early night. We're off to the market bright and early in the morning.
