Well, Ian did end up with some kind of tummy upset which kept him in the room all day -- most of it sleeping. And so, the plan to drive to the north end of the island again and east this time, did not happen. But, I was out most of the day -- walking west to the 'angel' -- a statue in a roundabout, and then back. Checked out the mall again, but there was really nothing of interest.
I guess most people who come here for an extended vacation -- the British and the Germans -- spend their day much the same way -- walking everywhere to enjoy the flowers (fabulous) and the ocean.
We go to cafes for a treat and then walk some more. One's legs get much stronger and the hills are not as daunting. We learn which grocery store has the specialty items we want. We check in on the folks at home -- both in the hotel and via the internet. We enjoy a simple supper and a glass or two of wine (starting at about 2 euros a bottle, not a hardship). We go to bed early and just have a totally different day than the ones at home.
