Sunday 17th March 2002

We’d had a busy day, so we walked back to the hotel to rest a while before getting ready to go for dinner.

We walked across the road to the Borgo Marinaro, and I was tempted by a little restaurant which had it’s day’s offering of fish in a display on the street outside.

I quizzed the waiter about what the fish were, and what was recommended. It sounded good, so we took a table in the “conservatory” style dining room.

This was empty apart from two other couples – which to my mind doesn’t bode well, but several others appeared as the evening drew on. Neither of us had a starter. Marg decided to try with me the Lupo de Mare (Sea Bass?) I’d selected. The service was a little slow, but when the fish arrived, it was good.

The bill, however, at €57 (£36) was excessive when compared to other, better restaurants and meals. I suspect they were taking advantage of tourists, and we could have argued about it had we realised.
