Week 1: 30 Nov to 6 Dec

On Sunday morning we quickly unpacked and Mel set up his wingfoil board. We then went to to the Panaderia Mi Dulce Hogar and had a pastry and coffee. It was very busy with lots of locals and we enjoyed the sociable atmosphere.

We went back to the apartment (which we are very pleased with – it is very clean, has everything you could need and in an excellent location) and loaded up the car. We met Dave and Sue on the road to Corralejo and followed them to the beach. We parked up and went to meet them and they showed us round the beach and town. We had a coffee with them and then we went to the Jet Surf place and paid for Mel to store his board and a wing there (55 Euros). We got the board and a wing and took them to there and hopefully this will work well for Mel. Then we went to do some shopping and left them to go wingfoiling.

We went to Lidl in Corralejo and did quite a big shop to set us up for our four week stay. We got some pastries as we had missed lunch and ate those when we got back. Later we had an omelette and watched Strictly from Saturday night and the results from tonight. Mel planned a running route for me for tomorrow.

I went for a run locally and managed to follow the route Mel had planned. It was mostly sunny and windy but I enjoyed it (7km). It was all on lanes and not on the main road which was good. Then we drove to Corralejo, met Dave & Sue on the road where we both parked and then walked to the beach. Mel and Dave went out on the water and Sue and I sat on the beach and watched. Mel ended up going on the rocks and damaged his foil but fortunately not himself. Dave & Sue are leaving tomorrow so they had to take their boards back to the hire shop.

We went to Mercadona to do a bit more shopping on the way back to Villaverde. We had a chicken tikka marsala curry for tea and then watched a film on Netflix (A House of Dynamite). But it wasn’t very good and we were both tired so we didn’t finish watching it and went to bed.
