Cheers!

After a slog of a drive down the east coast of Spain we arrived this afternoon at a former monastery in the forested hills above Murcia. This is a beautiful hotel with a superb restaurant which does a 4-course menu del dia for 12 euros, and looks out through Mediterranean pines across the valley below.

We slept after a late lunch and reconvened in the evening for a glass of wine before retiring early in preparation for the final leg of the journey tomorrow. Susie, one of our travelling companions, took a fancy to this bottle.
