They must be mad

A_Quick_Dip_in_the_Briny_on_New_Years_Day-5_450Is it any wonder that the locals think that we Brits are mad.

Christmas Day Brits flock down to the beach at La Zenia to start the day off with barbecues and in some cases a dip in the sea.

On New Year’s Day Brits take to the sea again at Playa Flamenca. The event is organised by the New Odd Couple bar in aid of the AECC Contra Cancer charity.

This year ten brave souls took to the water. Most only stayed in the sea for a brief time before returning to the bar for coffee and brandy. A few though seemed reluctant to come out of the water and even said that it was quite pleasant once you got used to the temperature.

The lady in the aqua blue wig gets my vote.
