Weekend in Benidorm Day 1

We left home before 5 Friday morning for 7 o'clock flight to Benidorm for a 2 night break. It's a place I never thought that I would visit as high rise blocks by the sea don't appeal but I've been promised an entertaining weekend of bars and tapas.

After an uneventful journey we arrived at our "3 star" hotel and found a distinctly not 3 star room, basic is an exaggeration but hey ho it's only a place to lay our weary bones after a night on the tiles.  The location, however, is ideal right on the sea front alongside the old town so we've strolled and eaten and strolled and drunk hot chocolate in settings familiar from the t v series. Let's see if this evening's entertainment lives up to expectation?

Tapas street bars too quiet at 7 o'clock but had a very good Sangria in the Irish bar before a beer on the roadside outside the hotel then back to the hotel for dinner. The long day and mixture of drinks caught up with us and we retired for the night,
