Saturday -Sunday 16th March
Our hotel for Saturday night had a balcony with a sea view facing due west. We had a lovely sunset looking out. Later that night a full moon came over the hotel to light up the room. The hotel is designed so no other rooms can see into our balcony and it is high up…

A Rainy Day with Pirates….Friday 5th July
