Nothing Better to Do

It seems that boys will be boys no matter where they are in the world. Here in Benidorm there are a million and one things to keep young people of all nationalities occupied; the lovely weather, the beach, the sea, sports facilities on land and water, top entertainment, concerts, theme parks, water parks and wonderful countryside surrounding the town.

However this wasn't quite enough for a group of naughty boys who thought that throwing rocks from a motorway bridge onto the traffic below was much more fun. Witnesses say that the three youths threw rocks the size of melons which caused injuries to a female motorist and also hit a coach carrying American students.

Fortunately this loutish behaviour is an exception to the rule here and doesn't happen very often.
