Sunday 22nd July
Slept on and off all day, and there was a bit of rain so no hurry to get up and out. At 18.00 it was back up 30 degrees so we decided to go to Benicassim for a spot more shopping. I bought myself some wooden monkey's in a lovely little shop we happened to find....
We had a buffet dinner, and a drink in the Sports bar and Irish Bar.
We got to FIB at 21.45 and saw Amy Winehouse, Kings of Leon - took a break and went back to car to chill and have drinks, then back to FIB to see Muse...... who were incredible. absolutely fantastic!!!!!!
As we were all tired we left there about 03.00, and Kate fell asleep in the back of the car. Martin and I felt more awake when we got back, so went down to the beach to play in the waves, and talk...... Marty drew me a lovely picture on the beach........ then home to bed.......a very romantic evening..... :)
