I woke up and Lynda wasn't in the apartment, 10 minutes later she came to tell me we were moving rooms for the fourth floor down to the ground as she has a problem with her hips and its not going to do any favours climbing up and down those stairs daily. Me and Andy were happy enough to move and so we grabbed our things and headed down to room 4a. Perfect, so much better, we open the patio doors and we're about 6 steps from the pool!.
So we had brunch at a little cafe next to the hotel. I ordered a cheese omelet baguette and a diet coke. The three of us spoke about how lovely everyone in this area seemed to be so far. Once we finished off our food, we walked the handful of steps back to the hotel, we walked past the heated outdoor pool and set to unpack a few things within our apartment. That didn't take too long but by now we were all starting to get really thirsty so we made way to the nearby large supermarket to get essentials to last a week. My basket consisted of crisps, oreos and Captain Morgan's Rum.

We finished shopping...a good HOUR later, it was a big supermarket (that's my excuse). Once we had loaded the car up we made our way back to the hotel. With all the roads looking alike and Lynda telling Andy the wrong turn offs we make our way back a good forty minutes later. Exhaustion settles in once back at the hotel so we all sit out in the sun to soak up on some rays. Andy went off into the pool whist me and Lynda started to put the shopping away. We leave our balcony door open and sit speaking about our plan for the night, we shower and get ready to start exploring.
After walking up and down the busy strip of restaurants we scope out the places that looks most popular and decided to settle in a restaurant called "Little India" (this choice was mutual, me because it smell nice, Andy because he fancied eating an Indian and Lynda because the decor attracted her.)
All 3 of us ordered a chicken korma and pilau rice (adventurous i know). It smelt delicious, i managed to finish mine whilst Andy and Lynda left a small amount on their plates. They cleared our plates away and they bring the bill over with 3 small glasses full of desert wine, wow it was quite strong. The Indian waiter notices our expressions and brings over the 'original' version of the drink which Andy finished but it wasn't something i could finish after demolishing all that food. We left a nice little tip for the guy and set off on our walk back. Our hotel is part of the Crown Resorts, which means there are several different blocks of hotels dotted around nearby. We walk past Club Marbella and look down the road we need to walk to get to Club Calahonda (our hotel) with it being dark now, and there being one streetlight we decide to look at Club Marbella to see if their mini bus is still running. Just as we look its pulling out and around the roundabout so we flag it down, the young chap who is just a food porter was kind enough to give us a lift. We sat in front of the TV, Lynda with a cup of black tea whilst me and Andy both sip on lemsips. 12.30am Bed time.
