Our first family meal was The Wok in Javea
This has been a family favourite for many years
And
is one of the reasons Jack came for a week
Not sure why he returned home early, but he does have a new girlfriend
We
booked the pool for 1600 each day
They
could use it any other time
But not as much as they did when younger
Chloe
has made friends with the dog who lives opposite
She sets her phone alarm for 2130 each day, when he is allowed out for a run around
He seems to enjoy it just as much as she does
Our second meal was The Imperial in Calpe
Georgia
wanted to have a meal there to celebrate her 16th birthday
We
have eaten there every year since their first visit in 2006
So it is a firm favourite with the whole family
It was one of the first restaurants we visited in Calpe
And we have eaten there with many friends since then
So
it has a particular sentimental attachment for us too
Each
year Chloe has her photo taken with her “spaghetti moustache”
This
is the first year that Jack was not with us
But
he was there in spirit, or at least his photo was
Georgia has her birthday cake a day late, but we all enjoyed it
Stuart
and Michelle had a “date night” at Nou Portet
in Orba
Our third family meal was at Dockers in Jalon
Jan
and I had our favourite fish and chips
We
only have them when the family visit and at Christmas in Rothbury
We thought parking might be difficult because it is Jalon Fiesta Week
But in fact the car park was almost empty
And we need not have booked our meal
Two years ago we could not eat there because it was fully booked
After the meal we walked up to the play area above Jalon
Temperatures have been higher than usual during this visit, and our limited air conditioning has been much in demand. We only have it in the sitting room and the main bedroom. The other rooms have good ceiling fans, but they are not very effective when the room temperature is high. When that happens they just circulate hot air. The pool has been much in demand as the most effective way of cooling down. Despite this we all enjoyed the visit and they made the most of getting out and about.
