Benidorm: What Could Possibly Spoil Dinner… This Feckin Did?

in travel •  7 years ago 

Well guys I’m still here in Spain. Weather great for this time of year, so great it would be a crying shame to waste the opportunity of eating Christmas dinner alfresco.

Because our rented apartment has no oven it was not going to stop us from stuffing our bellies this Christmas day. We decided to buy a cooked chicken and gammon slices for the festive meats. Vegetables included, sprouts, broccoli, mashed carrot without the turnip, that is, because we couldn’t find one in Benidorm anywhere, roast potatoes done crispy in a deep fat frying pan, peas, sweetcorn and gravy.

What could possibly spoil this beautiful day!

I need you to try and imagine the setting. You’re out on the balcony under the warm Spanish sun with not a drop of rain in sight. The round white plastic table has been laid boasting china plates, cutlery polished to the max, red and green napkins, condiments of every sort, crackers to pull, and chocolate gateaux for afters.

I asked you all to imagine the setting which I believe you managed to do, but remember I’m a part of the setting and can’t mask what I see.

This is what!

So, what do I do, I closed my eyes with every feckin bite. Regardless a day I’ll never forget.

You should have just switched chairs with your husband and made him look at it, and had your back to that scenery. C'mon lady, your on vacation but you surely didn't leave your common sense back in the UK.

Hi @sultnpapper and Happy Christmas to you. That picture is not the actual building that blocks the most beautiful view of La Cal beach from my balcony. As for common sense I don't think I had any in the beginning, because if I had, I would be sunning myself somewhere in Barbados and not Benidorm-- and without the hubby hehe Take care @racykacy

Alright, I was trying to give you the benefit of doubt, but since you pretty much confirmed you have no common sense , who am I to argue in your favor? I'll accept your admission and hold it against you at a further point in the future. Have a great day!

You to have a good day @sultnpapper!

Don't get @joalex started on the unfinished building at la cala! :D

Don't get me started on unfinished buildings in Benidorm as a general rule but that hotel right on the beach at Cala Finestrat breaks my heart!

@joalex thats exactly the building I refer too i this post. I can honestly say you would pay a fortune for my apartment had that not been there, as the whole of the cove I would be able to see. Maybe one day something will be done with it. I pray pulled down. Take care ~racykacy

@kaisertom I feel the same as @joalex Take care

@lince I have tried translating this comment into English and read the content and unsure what this is about. Have I done something wrong because if so I would be grateful for any advice so that I don't break the rules. Apologies If I have

@lince He intentado traducir este comentario al inglés y leer el contenido y no estoy seguro de qué se trata. ¿He hecho algo mal porque de ser así estaría agradecido por algún consejo para no romper las reglas? Disculpas si tengo

Don´t worry, just try using the tag #spanish only when you are posting in the language. Your post is about spain so perhaps instead of spanish, try using #spain. Cheers

Thank you for being helpful your time is much appreciated @anomadsoul ... take care @racykacy
