What a day. We were just about to leave the motel when our host offered us another night at half price. Yes. He also told us about a market at the local town that sounded good - paella, music, produce etc. So off we went and had a great time at the market buying honey [Danielle talking to the beekeeper in the jargon] merino socks [Me "are they from local sheep?". Bloke "well they come from Australia"] spinach, quiche and a vegan paella [stallholder "my daughter is vegan so I thought I'd have a go"].
Next we went to a sea water lagoon, we pulled up in the van and saw no one at all. It was one of the most beautiful places I have seen and there was no one there on the most perfect day you could imagine, bright sun, warm, still. We had our picnic lunch then walked round the lake and saw Black Swans and Pelicans. I love Pelicans, and these were the first I had seen since the inland lakes of Ohrid and Struga in Macedonia, and Kastoria in Greece in 1984. They are the most magnificent of birds, and three were here just for us. Next we walked along the beach, not a soul in sight again, and finally to our motel where we cooked a wedding anniversary meal and polished off a bottle of finest Australian table wine.
