Cartagena to Denia

Wedding preparations were by now well under way and our thoughts turned to what sort of honeymoon we'd like.  It seemed odd to us that couples are able to pull together an epic holiday straight after their wedding -we preferred the idea of sailing off on Bumblebee and just relaxing in familiar territory.  And so the plan was hatched to sail her up from Cartagena to Denia -the perfect jumping off point for the Balearic Islands.

Our first port of call was Torrevieja, with a nice pool within the marina and pretty town this was a great (though somewhat urban) first stop.  Quite expensive too at €50 for the night.

The next day we puled in to Villa Joyosa, with a fairly basic but again expensive marina.  Again I'm writing this sometime after the trip so I'll have to update this blog if I remember anything memorable about this town.  Soon we were sailing past Benidorm once again.

Our final destination was the lovely Marina de Denia, where we would leave Bumblebee for one month for our August wedding.  This was also the first time I got to launch my Mavic drone from the boat.
