Biddydorm

Cheldi jewellery arrived in biddydorm (benidorm in winter) on Thursday 14th November. 
Weather was fine and quite warm. 
A short coach ride to our accomodation the fiesta park hotel in the old town. We were all inclusive. 
Tradition always says Jane and I have a nice cool beer when we arrive at our holiday destination. This wasn't a problem, just flashed our wrist bands at the bar tender. 
Well the novelty of being 'all inclusive" for janey was to prove too much on day 1. We ended up on baileys with brandy (several of them) hic hic. 
Sunday and Wednesday was benidorm's market day. A fave with Jane and I. We found done really good bargains. 
Even got Armani watches for €10 ha ha ha. 
If there was a bargain to be had in benidorm, we had it..... And some. 
The beautiful sea front just added to the splendour of this wonderful holiday. 
One thing we learned, older Spanish people are quite rude.... No that's a lie, they are very rude.... Oh and very small. We towered over 99% of them male and female. (We are hardly giants ourselves in 5'7 Jane 5'5). 
The shops in the old town were fantastic. We bought lots of watches and fashion jewellery for ourselves. 'Cheap as chips'
Throughout the week, we only saw rain once, the majority if time the weather was sunny, the hottest times being between 12-3pm. 
If anyone is looking for a really great winter week away, we can thuroughly recommend biddydorm. 
The week flew far too fast leaving us feeling chilled but sad to be leaving. 
Back to the grindstone. Save for more holidays. Yeah.
