We did what we could to clear up but couldn't do much until the sun came back and we could dry everything so we went to the site restaurant (main blog pic) for Sunday lunch - fabulous, the best service, food and value-for-money since we arrived. Great views too over the Med. It cheered us up a bit as the day was chilly, grey and breezy. The locals said Monday would be fine again no problems with that...
In the evening, Les and his brother came over to try to help Steve set up the new satellite dish but had no success. In the process, a gust of wind picked up everything, smashing the ballast and bending the dish so Steve had to do a repair job later in the evening in the hope there is no lasting damage - fingers crossed!
Monday morning was lovely and sunny again and less humid so Steve was feeling better! We set about clearing everything out of the awning and putting it in the sun to dry; then we lifted the Bolon flooring out and carried it to the rail over the terrace above us so that Steve could hose it down. I swept all the debris which had come down the mountainside out of the awning , then all we could do is wait - time for a swim! Lovely lunch overlooking the beach at Sant Pol and Steve persevered with the satellite and got "Islam TV" so things are on the up again! In the evening, we replaced the flooring and brushed everything before restoring everything to the awning - glad to be back to where we started!
Tuesday morning is breezy and sunny - lovely! During the night, big winds got up and Steve had to go out and bang pegs into the sat dish to keep it from blowing away - don't think we will be very popular on the site!
Les & Jean left this morning - we're sorry to see them go and we've no caravans near us now. The little bungalows near us close on 26th so it will go very quiet for our last week.
My sister, Wendy is flying in tonight and we are picking her up at Girona airport at 11.00pm. The site here closes at midnight and they have said we will have to leave the car at the bottom gate so we don't disturb everyone (there's hardly anyone here...) driving up to Stan; not very happy about this as we have heard cars aren't safe left like that so need to turn on my best negotiating skills with the manager of the site later...
