A day in our life, at Camping Manjastre

A few photographs to show how we spend our time in the camping ground, other than annoying the neighbours with the sound of our 'soap'.   They left, by the way, at 8.30 this morning.   Just got up and packed their tent, no breakfast, and off they went.   Walter had just enough time to give them a little word about making value judgements.   We have come to the conclusion it is full moon.

But onto more pleasant matters.    Donna's caravan and our motor home, side by side on a pitch.   Comfortable abodes for David and Catherine, and Barry and Diana.  
Our caravan on the corner pitch, and the centre for food and discussion.
David and Barry, all ready for their bike rides.   They covered extra kilometres, checking out all the side roads, due to not being able to find the bicycle track.  But they had a good time.
The boys, looking fit and trim, and all ready to dive into the swimming pool.   But there was a need to beware of topless sunbathers, especially ones lying beside the deep end of the pool!   Health and safety reasons of course.
The evenings have been glorious, as we watched the sun set behind the hills and the trees.
Every morning we set off for our walk at 7.15 a.m.   Such a beautiful time of the day.   Barry and Diana  striding purposely along the track.
We have become very fond of this donkey, which greets us every day, as we walk along the road.  
An early morning scene through the cork oaks.   So peaceful.
And when we are not tripping around the countryside we sit outside in the shade and relax or eat or drink pleasant glasses of wine or beer.   
We finish the day with a walk to the recycling bins by the main road, or at least one or two people walk to the recycling bins.   Always a good place to strike up a conversation with another camper.  And to fossic through the bottle recycling bin to look for a missing olive oil bottle (half full) which someone had accidentally placed in our recycling bag.   I wonder who did that?

What a wonderful life!
