The one where the team turned pink...

Today is Sunday - the official day of rest (especially in Spain) so we did that... rested! For most of the day anyway...

The team had to wait for Charlotte and Helen to come back to the land of the living, lazy start - EXTRA lie in!

Breakfast buffet... as usual... it is starting to seem that all we do here is eat!!

We found some sun loungers in the hotel grounds in a quiet area and seized an opportunity to update journals, write timetables (for one of our sessions - background info!) and learn some Spanish.

Once the pool man had finished de-leafing the water we were able to go for a dip or a dive in the pool... or a bomb... depending on who we are talking about...! Centenary ducks came with us - we were slightly dissapointed that they are face-heavy, and so tend to drown most of the time - but they do make excellent water pistols! "m'ducks empty!" We increased our global awareness... by throwing around the globe... we did use it to locate different places that our fellow missed-connection-for-Santiago friends were flying via... Lima... Uruguay... etc...

Lunchtime... Well. Where to begin??! This certainly was a meal to remember!!

Asparagus soup... cold... interesting, but may have been nicer warmer we decided...

Baby Eel Omelette... 'nuff said?! I do feel we ought to share that it actually could have passed off as a spring roll! and that every member of the team gave it a try!

Veal Jaw Stew... Helen = brave soldier! She was the only one to order this dish, and I do think she was slightly dissapointed when it was just slices of carved veal with a gravy, no jaw in sight!!

Mixed Fried Fish... erm... well, it was as it says on the tin... the fish came with faces!!!!!!!! Giant Sardines, Anchovies, Squid and a mystery fish, we all had a try at the different fish, although Sam needed some support with the face-removal of the fishies but then everyone had a go at eating/trying all the different fish, it was very impressive!

We did celebrate our adventurous nature with melon or ice-cream cake for dessert.

Another afternoon at the loungers/the pool doinga mixture of laying, swimming, bombing, diving, reading, session planning, Spanish-learning and we all started to look a little pink around the edges (proper British!) so we headed indoors to clean up for the evening.

We met 'at the sofas' armed with our project files, Spanish dictionarys and a little brain-power ready to translate more session plans so we are fully prepared for Chile... We split up the sessions and a flurry of activity and flicking dictionary pages followed! After a while though tummies started to rumble, and water was needed, so we headed to the restaurant for tea... buffet.

Lots of food, laughs and yawns later we headed off to bed.

Hasta luego!! xx
