27th May

Well we did go to Alicante, but on the bus. We've decided to leave the boat here in Santa Pola while we return to the UK. Sadly Roger has now left us; it was great having him on board. We had lunch by the harbour in Alicante and then saw a replica of one of the great Spanish galleons. The castle in Alicante is accessed through a long tunnel into the rock on which it stands, and then a lift journey up through the rock. There were fantastic views from the top. We walked down and caught the bus back. Tomorrow we will clean the boat and catch the plane on Thursday. Don't be disappointed if you don't hear any more until we return next week.
