We being Ben and I, Katie, Jack, and Emma and Dwyane.
We had an airbnb apartment booked, and met at the airport from our assorted flights and headed to the place.
It was an amazing 4 bedroom apartment, the lift was broken and it was 4 flights of stairs up but it was amazing none the less.
We had a bit of a tapas and wine party the first night, I got pretty drunk and apparently made a bit of a dick of myself but, woke up with the hangover or all hangovers as punishment.
Jack, Katie, Ben and I went out for dinner too, we went to an amazing little restaurant it was family owned and so traditional. We got 2 bottles of wine, and so much food all for 40 euros!
Our friends Mike and Nat were here for a few days too, so we did some sightseeing, lunching, boozing, beaching and warming our bones with the 28 degree heat!
4 nights and 5 days saw us going to a rather fancy restaurant for the best paella I've ever had (also my first and if it wasn't so yum I wouldn't be scared to try more).
It saw us going back to the cheap restaurant twice! It saw us eat fresh seafood and Ben and I even went to a market and brought a live lobster, scallops, mussels, prawns and calamari and cooked up a feast!
We went to the beach twice, 3 swims in the beautiful Mediterranean water.
It was a busy holiday with 5-6 personalities and so much to see and do it was more like we needed a holiday after the holiday but it was great.
Catching up with Emma and Dwayne we haven't seen in 2 years, and seeing Jack again was really nice. Makes us realise there is a lot at home for us when we are ready to go back there!
Holidays over for now though, I applied for my EEA2 permit the week we got back, so the Home Office has our passports until the decide if I can stay in the UK with Ben and we can continue our adventure for a bit longer!!
Fingers crossed!
