First day diving, lunch, shopping, dinner

Christian got up at about 7.30, had a shower, had some breakfast, and headed off with the divers just before nine. I, on the other hand, woke when he did, and got up when he left, waving them off. I had breakfast and a lazy morning, and then met up with Sue and Annie for a coffee and a chat, and then Annie drove us down to the marina to meet up with the divers for lunch.

We had a bit of a wait while the boat came back, so had a wander. It's a beautiful part of town, looking directly over to Spain. I looked up the name of the dive company, and so we recognised the boat as it came in, and got some waves as they approached. They brought some gear in, and got changed, and then we went in search of somewhere for lunch. We liked the look of one place, but they ignored us for ages, so Annie led us out to find another place. Sadly, there weren't any others open, so we found ourselves back there.

We ordered the menu du jour, and took a table nearest the water. It was very warm in the sun, but the food (salad, pork steak main, and an amazing strawberry dessert) was very good, and quite reasonably priced.

The divers pootled off back to the boat, and the non-divers back to Annie's car. She took us on a quick driving tour of the town, and then to Lidl to do some shopping. We got the things we needed - apart from the mundane, I was determined to get rillettes and confit at that point. After a quick stop at the Intermarche as well, we got what we needed, and headed back to the campsite. I unpacked the shopping, and then must have had a lazy afternoon at this point.

The divers came back not long after 5, and Annie once again provided dinner for us. This time it was very light - salad, a potato dish, and the obligatory cheese (and possibly chocolate).

Christian and I went to bed probably sometime around 10.
