Farewell Casa Bliss - time to move on

Casa Bliss beautiful at night from the pool

As January came to an end, we had decided it was time to move on from Alora and

explore other parts of Spain before we move across into Portugal and start heading north.

Lovely Alora from Casa Bliss

Our last week at Casa Bliss saw Bill complete the last few jobs Rosie had on her list (and some she crammed in at the end when she realised we were about to leave). We think Rosie was very happy with our work (she gave us a glowing review on HelpX) and we were actually sad to say good bye as after three & half months of living near each other you do get rather fond of each other. Good luck Rosie, hope your place sells soon and you can move back to London.

Bill was very lucky to share
some of Mel & Bev's son's
wedding cake
(Not to say anything on the
fact that this cake had been
shared with one who may
become our future King!)

We also celebrated Bills birthday in our last week, along with Mel,  Bev & Frank and Rosie on a lovely afternoon out on the front patio. Our one and only time we socialised with Rosie, it was great listening to her yarns. Pity we didn't do more of it Rosie!
Just to clarify som mis-information - Bill is now the same age as
myself!

(The Ruins)

We really enjoyed our first job through the HelpX web site, and highly recommend it to anyone wanting to travel. It is great to have excellent accommodation, some food and get a chance to see the local area without rushing. We were lucky finding Rosie and being able to spend the worst of winter in southern Spain - hardly winter really. Just hope our next host is as wonderful.
Also meeting Mel & Bev and doing the local sights with them was fun and pushed us to see the last few sights we hadn't had time to do prior.
 We have organised our next HelpX site in Seville, only for two weeks before moving onto Portugal.

Finally got to the English Bar

But first the lovely city of Granada. We are heading off there for a few days before going to Seville at the end of the week.
 So watch this blog for the update.
