MrGrumpy goes to Porto de Mogan

Finally MrGrumpy was almost back to normal and he got some sleep last night.
Today they were planning on going to Porto de Mogan, Friday is market day. The little town is really nice, and LittleMissNaughty likes to look around the market. MrGrumpy can't think of much worse that walking around a market generally full of chinese tat in 35+ deg C, especially when he did not get time for breakfast or a drink this morning.
They were going to hire a car for the day but LittleMissNaughty decided to go by ferry as they had no other real plans for the day.

They caught the first ferry which stops at porto rico (for what seemed like ages to MrGrumpy as he was sat in the blazing sun) before going on around the coast to Porto de Mogan.

Mogan, away from the market.
The market was as he expected, he does not understand why there are so few Canarian stalls, most are Moroccans selling TShirts, Clothes, Leather Bags / Watches / Sunglasses (designer copies). He would find it much more interesting to see local goods (even if they were aimed at tourists).

The stopped halfway round to get a drink (and maybe some food), a quick look at the menu and MrGrumpy decided it would be a drink only (it was only really main meals, mostly seafood, not what he was looking for at lunchtime). They had two cokes, which would have been better with some bubbles,  even better they were then ignored when trying to pay.

does this look big on me?
They left the market and walked around the pretty little village and found somewhere for some lunch.
After lunch LitteMissNaughty found a white Swatch Watch (genuine in a shop, she said it goes with her white iPad and iPhone) which she liked, so she got that as a little additional birthday pressie.

They got the ferry and returned to Anfi just gone 4pm, LitteMissNaughty now wanted to go to the beach and swim in the sea. If there is one thing that MrGrumpy dislikes almost as much as markets, that is the beach... So down to the beach they went... Once they had found a spot and warmed up nicely, it was time for a swim. The sea was not cold, it was really, really cold... so after a few minutes in there is was time to warm up on the beach.

Back in the apartment it was time to start celebrating LittleMissNaughty's last day of being in her 30's. They popped open a bottle of bubbly and sat on the balcony sipping champagne.

Then it was time to eat, they fancied a pizza, so off to get a take away (with a giggly LittleMissNaughty).

While they were waiting for the Pizza they went for a walk down the plaza by the designer shops, LittleMissNaughty went in to look at some Nike trainers,  unfortunately for her, MrGrumpy found some RayBan (Carbon fiber shades that he liked the looks of), MrGrumpy goes designer shades...
