Benicassim, Tuesday 8th March – Wednesday 17th March

After Valencia we spent a perfect week in what was for us a perfect town - Benicassim. Against our now very exacting standards we both voted the campsite the best we have stayed in to date – clean, tidy and friendly with good toilet facilities, an indoor pool and a tennis court. The town itself was an old and traditional Spanish seaside resort that ticked all our requirement boxes – a very Spanish feel, everything in walking distance, a long, clean promenade, nice places for coffee, and a brand new indoor municipal swimming pool. So my swimming drought was now definitely over and I had what is more a choice of pools. With the campsite’s a little small, I opted for the gorgeous 25 metre and often empty one in town. Knowing how good swimming is for my mood Graham let me go every day! He in turn answered an ad for a tennis partner on site and played two matches against a fellow camper called Wolfgang. Although they were both good and satisfying games, Wolfgang had the edge on Graham and we had to leave Germany once again up on England. Graham was luckier at the go-kart track and came in first with some very respectable lap times. Although he had plenty of support from Krista and I on the sidelines he cut a lonely figure out on the track all alone … He missed having Graham or Jake to race.

Krista accomplished several firsts in Benicassim. Number 1 was a bath in the main shower blocks where they had special baby bathing facilities, second was a night out dancing to ‘Henrike Duet’ in the campsite bar. Third much to her own and everyone’s delight was her first evening meal out in a highchair at the campsite restaurant. My goodness the Biscuit Bunch know how to live!
