DENIA

Here we are in Denia, Spain, about 100 km south of Valencia. The beaches are lovely, though, believe it or not, we´re getting a bit tired of beaching it. And as in some other places, we have to seek out internet cafes to get online and do anything like update blogs and check in for flights to Marrakech (next Monday.) But after the busy bustle of Barcelona, this has been a nice, quiet week. The highlight of the week comes tomorrow, when we are going to an amusement park. It´s in the same town (Benidorm) we drove to on Sunday to go to church, but we never could find the church, so it turned into a nice drive involving high highway tolls.

Getting here was a bit of an adventure as well. We rented a car in Barcelona and set off for the 5 hour drive south. Nine hours later, after a lovely, unplanned detour through the rolling hills of Murcia, we rolled into our timeshare complex, only to be advised that they were having a problem and would need to put us up in a local hotel for the night. Hotel rooms here (even the 4-star variety, which this one was touted to be) are small and never set up for 4 people. Once we get all the beds set up, there´s no room to walk. But we like jumping on beds, so it all worked out well.

We will try to send photos of Morocco as we can.
