Back to Civilisation

Arrived back in Granada on the monday lunchtime & booked straight into the "Oasis Hostal where we had stayed before. Met up with some familiar faces, including Charly ( a photographer from Bristol) & Dippie once again. We also went to visit Linda & met her husband Pete (who had flown in on the sunday) & she invited us to stay at their house. We decided to move in on the Wednesday to give them a little more time together (they've been apart for a month !). So on the tuesday night, we went to dinner with Charly to a nice Thai restaurant, then we moved into Linda & Petes on Wednesday.

That evening, we  met up with Laurent (Lorenzo, as he's know here) and went out for dinner with him, then Lissa cooked a stupendous meal for us on the Thursday night....Yum !!

Friday we met up with Catherine & Michael once again as well as Alfredo, Sue, Charly & Linda & Pete. We all ended up going to "Cafe Nuit"  as a big group.......had a great pm. danced a wee bit with Alfredo & some other random geezer, then I saw the rather sexy waiter from the thai restaurant the other night. He smiled, waved & so I went over to say "Hola". Well........the rest is my business........ but it did involve him walking Liss & I home, and after Liss had gone in, I ended up snogging on the doorsteplike a 15 yr old !! hee !!!!!

The following day (Saturday) we had arranged to meet Sue in the Parque Central & to wait to meet up with Gene who was arriving in Granada that morning. Eventually, after 1.5 hours we saw this mop of curly hair & it was him !! Gave him a brief tour of the city & went up the bell tower of the Mercedez church..great views over the whole of Granada. Unfortunately, he didn't have too much time, but it was enough to say "Hola y Hasta Luego" !

So.........still in Ganada at the moment staying with Linda & Pete who have been wonderful hosts ! We are now  waiting for my packet to arrive from the UK  (my new camera) then we shall be heading up north to Estreli & Matagalpa. This weekend we are going to visit the Volcano Mombacho just to the South of here. Tuesday will then be our final farewell (well...till next time anyway !) to Granada & all our new friends here.
