Are you hungry yet?

Just in case we hadn't quite eaten enough over the last few days, we were kindly invited to lunch by the sea on the other side of the island. El Golfo is not a village you would ever just come across. It's at the end of a road with the next stop as Canada. More to the point it contains Paula's dads favourite fish restaurant, so El Golfo it was. Restaurante Bogavante sits right on the black sand beach, with the North Atlantic waves crashing at your feet. This is rustic open air dining at its best.
Apart from the starters, we went with the waiters recommendation. Have you ever eaten Piranha fish? These ugly little monsters tasted good. In fact they were a type of rock fish and their local name is 'little goats', because they live and hunt amongst the volcanic rocks in the sea. They were tasty but very ugly (which reminds me of a girl I used to out with - but that's another story)!

What a great day for English sport. In the afternoon the football team beat Estonia 3-0 and then, against all the odds, the rugby team beat France to get into the Rugby World cup Final. I went to bed a tired but happy bunny.
