Lizards hid in the grass, turtles disappeared back into the river bed, buzzards and eagles flew high above. The neighbours were friendly and brought us fruit and must have thought we were mad walking and sunbathing in the hot midday sun. We listened out for the bread man and the ice cream van.

We will have to return , there's still so much to see and do. - Vanessa, Stuart, Molly and Lucy
