Round and about us

We went for a meal today to a place 10 min. drive from home. It is a place called Villa Martin Plaza, most people who have visitors over here take them to the Plaza, no doubt Tina and Dave have been when there visitors are here, it is where the wild parakeets nest all the year round, and has loads of eating places from the very reasonable to the very expensive.



The Plaza is surrounded by studio apartments on four sides, you come though a passageway into it, this is in the centre of it.

The parakeets live in the palm trees, they are green and red and seem to be busy all the time in and out and the noise of them is some times very loud.

It is very enjoyable to sit and watch the antics of them, there are two very high palm trees in the Plaza and both are home to these lovable if rather noisy birds, on a sunny day like today what better place to have a meal and have this free entertainment thrown in.


We have tried most of the places in the plaza today we ate here,it was a nice lunch with a freshly squeezed orange juice.


How anybody lives in the studios I don't know, for the birds are awake with the dawn and are in and out till dusk, but I must say not many people live there they are mostly used by golfers as holiday homes the golf course being just behind the plaza.

This is the parakeets on a quieter moment, you can imagine what it's like when they are all in the trees together.

Hi Jay,

I do not think we have ever been there, can't remember the birds at all.

Lovely blog.

That was a lovely blog Jeanette. I wish I'd been there, it must be like Paradise with all those parakeets flying around. Each of you blogs are so different from the last, it makes such interesting reading. Keep it up.
