Thursday 27 September 2012 Llanes, Spain

Slow start, got washing done and all hung out on racks thoughtfully provided on each verandah, nice walk around the port watching fishermen cleaning and folding nets neatly and old town with shops open.

There is what looks like a lock gate at entrance to marina right in middle of town which I think is intended as a storm surge protector  as river runs right down through middle of town and could easily get flooded with right combination of river level and storm surge.

Some beautiful chocolates in form of various fruits in chocolatier shop window..

Sat in café drank coffee and watched world go by, including man wearing the Basque clogs.

Later after siesta, I had a swim at beach in afternoon after it had clouded over, the water nice temperature but a bit windy by then with some dumping waves so I took away half the sand on the beach in my togs.

Helen and Rod cooked dinner in oven in kitchen in our apartment, very nice roast chicken etc and enough left over for great lunch next day in fresh baguette.
