An early start, with Fi's husband driving us to East Midlands Airport for our flight to Alicante. We were both zombied through lack of sleep but managed to force our picnic breakfasts down somehow with a cuppa. But the flight was okay, the hire car upgraded and our room is very acceptable. 

It's hot here, almost too hot, and I can't imagine we'll be climbing in the afternoons, but we lazed this afternoon away around and in the pool.
