Thursday 5th February

After yesterday's rain, the sky is clearing up today and the sun 🌞 is shining. While waiting for the baker, the Fortuna guests greet each other warmly, and there's a bit of chatter. Afterwards, we have breakfast like every morning. Jupp, Gerd, and Ricci hold a quick meeting. On the way home, Jupp meets a nice guy who wants to play with everyone. The water calls.... Bernd and Brigitte are already done. What a blessing... Hans is in the 39° warm water, Bernd is dozing a bit, and the girls form a circle for entertainment. The temperatures rise to 21°, some are lying in the sun, while others go for a stroll in their bathrobes. There's a bang... boom... a camper with a trailer wants to reverse.... In the afternoon, we want to cycle to Abanilla, about 18 km, to a delicious 😋 cookie factory... but a strong wind prevents the bike tour. At Ernst and Emma's, the wind pulls out the tent pegs... We help them quickly take down the front tent, done. Boules? Yes, no, a few drops fall from the sky, we wait. Just after 19 minutes, the rain shower is over and a beautiful rainbow 🌈 appears. It starts, red against yellow... the score is 1:1 draw...
