Spain 2016 - Day 2

We were up nice and early so headed straight to the market for a little wander and shop. Henry got himself a few toys and we got some tasty food etc too. We stopped for a delicious breakfast of bread and tomato with coffees and juices  and then had some churros and hot chocolate too, Henry was definitely a big fan and he loved watching the ladies make it too. We picked up a fresh spit-roasted chicken with potatoes to take home for our lunch and then headed home to the pool.

Henry absolutely loves the water and just wanted to be in the pool constantly. Not so great for my tan but it's amazing what a few days in the pool has done for his confidence. We then went in for lunch and our daily siesta too, a proper treat.

When we woke up we went back to the beach to the beach bar and for a walk along the shore and had another few gorgeous hours enjoying the sunshine there. We had ice lollies, built sand castles and played before coming home to get ready for dinner.

Every year we go to Rancho Blanco, a restaurant in the middle of nowhere, for our dinner. We've been going there since I was Henry's age and it's one of my favourite places. Henry was so well behaved and ate loads. We ordered him an adult's portion of merluza for his tea and the waiter said it was much too big but we just ordered it anyway (there was no children's menu and we know how much he eats so weren't keen on sharing ours either!!). Of course he ate the entire plate of fish and still had room for pudding afterwards. He's eaten so well so far and loves all of the Spanish treats we've been having. I had a fillet steak which was amazing and after we were all finished we went and played in the little play park for a while afterwards.

We drove home by the salt flats, Henry  telling us that that's where allosaurus lived 'back in time', and then came home to bed. He's so funny with his dinosaurs, it's all he talks about at the moment. He's making up little role plays with dinosaurs, telling us dinosaur facts and watching dinosaur programmes on the iPad. He's really been making us laugh.
