    Can you tell what it is yet

    My Sunday afternoon fun.....
    Can you tell what it is yet?


    It's my DIY speedlite grid.

    Some shots I took whilst on an afternoons walk last week, late autumn, early winter, 2011.
    They were taken on my ordinary HTC DESIRE HD mobile phone, at 3megapixel resolution !

    Hope you like them.

    Sunday 7th August 2011

    Today was my beautiful wife's birthday.

     To celebrate this special day, we continued to wander around the Old Town, and take in the sights.

    We initially tried to dine at "A Forja" (known locally as the Blue Door) but the we arrived quite late in the evening and the queues here were quite long (it's reputation proceeded it) so we wandered around, and stopped off for a quick drink in the "Green Room".

    As it turned out, this was a great little place with friendly bar staff, reasonably priced drinks which were suitable stronger than expected, and huge portions of Mexican food.

    Saturday 6th August 2011
    One of Lisa's recommendations especially since we were self catering was a visit to the weekly farmers market down opposite the marine, housed in a couple of buildings in the bus stations area.
    On our walk down, we past an interesting opening in the city wall.

    I think this is near the main town hall?

    This is the little "harbour ferry" that takes tourists across this small stretch of water to the beach on the other side.

    After the market, we wandered back across the street, to the harbour for some food.

    There were lots of sales pitches where you could go for the local boat trips around the local area to visit the grottos.

    After a busy first day, we relaxed back at the apartment.
