Christo Blanco

We had a perfect start to our day today! A full english/american/continenetal breakfast (yeas..it really was all of them!) and if that was not enough, we had Sammy and Ben (Jenny and Roland's son's) serving it to us...very professionally done!

After our hearty breakfast a few of us looked around the Saturday market in the square outside our hostel! We then went to see Christo Blanco - a huge statue of Jesus on top of a mountain. There were two modes of transport to choose from to get there...by tram or by foot! Most of the group chose the tram but myself, Becky, Chris, Emma, Encarni and Roland chose to walk it......I won't lie to you -  I thought I was going to die!! There were appoximatly a zillion steps to climb in the blazing heat and high altitude!!...but....the site that we were met with when we got there was well worth it!..The views from the top, overlooking San Blas were stunning. We  then went for lunch at a lovely restaurant before heading back down the mountain.....which was slightly easier! The evening consisted of making 250 little cake boxes for the church birthday celebrations....rock n roll!!!
