We took the long road south once more, staying in Beauvais, Niort, St Jean de Luz, and Aranjuez for our overnight stops.

This was simply described as a "BandB" in Beauvais  |
The weather became hotter as we travelled south until we reached about 33 degrees in Aranjuez. Welcome Home !!
We keep saying this but we are now determined that we shall not come back to the Costa until October next year as this weather is far too hot and uncomfortable for us Northern Folk. Most would dream of having the high temperatures but when it is accompanied by high humidity and carries on through the night it is a little too much.
Two days after arriving in Campoamor we are off to the final Beach Party of the summer arranged by our Social Secretary in the U3A.
Another two days and we are off on a boat ride to Tabarca Island, just off the coast near Santa Pola. Most trips to the island are unaccompanied but once again our Social Secretary had done her stuff and we had a great guide to show us round and explain everything about this tiny island.

I'm not really complaining about the heat as that would be perverse but we will settle for an extra couple of weeks in France next year.
