11 September 2023 – Alcalali to Parcent


 19 on today’s walk

This included quite a few who had not walked since June

Nice to see so many old friends again

 Lovely sunny morning, ideal for walking

Also plenty of shade for our water stops

This walk goes through a field with a lot of bee hives

However we have never had any problems

But today both Annie and Natalie were stung

Fortunately neither had a serious reaction

Normally the problem is crossing the river

Today it was low and no one had any problems

 

As always our banana stop was at Parcent font

Where Sandra distributed sweets – and gave us a pose!

It was nice to have Brenda walking with us again

And to have Richard taking a lot of photos

He takes much better portraits like this one of Terry and Brenda

Franc, Marlies, Nico and Irma

Annie, Marie and Joke

We only had a short break at the Ermita

We wanted to get back to Alcalali on time

Because Paul and Natalie had invited us to their new house for drinks

We usually go to a bar after the walk

But sitting around their swimming pool was much more pleasant

We also got to know two of their three dogs

The third is blind and stayed in the house

We spent a very pleasant couple of hours there

And no one was in any hurry to leave

Thanks very much to Paul and Natalie for their generous hospitality


Temperature – 19 to 26c

Time taken – 3 hours

Distance – 9 km
