Califa Torremolinos

We woke with hangovers again and decided to go to the smugglers bar for a full english fry up. We have not ate bacon for the whole time that we have been away and I have been dreaming about bacon buttys lol. It was a really nice breakfast and just the thing for a hang over. We then went for a walk down the famous strip of the Costa Del Sol. Its ok and really pretty the beach is lovely and there are lots of bars and even spanish ...

... and laughing at the funnyness of where we are. <br><br>As we walked past the bars imagine how funny it was to see loads of english couples a little older all sat in a bar watching only fools and horses. I always thought people where kidding when they said they came on holiday like this but is so true. Each to there own is all I can say. Ian is struggling to adjust and keeps saying he wants some spanish food. Lol.

... they are quite easy to make and you can add pretty much what you want to them but the main ingredients are egg, and potato. i like to add roasted pepper, cubed spanish cheese like manchego, salt, pepper, and a bit of comino (cumin). i brought some new mexico red chile with me to make a chile sauce to go over the tortilla just to spice things up; the spanish don't embrace spice like we new mexicans do.<br><br>for dinner we have been buying roasted chicken from the ...

Today we had an excursion to the Caves of Nerja about an hour away on the bus. The little town on the water was cute and reminded me so much of Dubrovnik. We have free time to visit the little church and have an ice cream. Then we were off to the nearby caves which were fascinating but didn't learn much because the guide was doing double time with the tour speaking both French and English and he spoke mostly French even when he was speaking English it seemed.

... games, or assigning fun homework? Uhhhh&#8230; it really disappointed me. Just being in this school for a month has really made me consider being an elementary school teacher because clearly, there is a huge need for good teachers everywhere in the world (including the US). <br><br>My school is in Álora, as I mentioned before, which is a small town. For some reason there is a huge amount of children with disabilities (learning, developmental, and otherwise ...

... the Kasbah, we headed for a ¨traditional moroccan lunch¨, which was fine, with couscous, meat on skewers, and some local musicians playing music. Then it was over to the Medina, where we got a tour of a carpet shop. I thought it was good for the pictures, but not much else, so instead of staying huddled with the group in the crowded shop we headed next door to find something we would actually buy. We ended up haggling over a euro or 2 for some cheap souvineres but in the end ...

Sylvie repart pour la suisse... heureusement, je ne suis pas seule à l'auberge et passe une bonne soirée avec d'autres voyageurs!! On boit un peu, beaucoup, trop de sangria... et je décide à 6h du matin de repousser mon départ de Malage au lundi... j'ai trouvé un prof d'espagnol que je prendrais bien avec moi pour un petit bout de chemin ,-)<br>

... de jeunesse ici (Picasso's corner), je vais pouvoir laisser mon vélo pendant que nous voyagerons à Grenade. Ambiance de ville-plage mais la vieille ville de Malaga convivial avec ses petites ruelles étroites et ses terrasses... je trouve un livre de Philippe Sauve "Siberia" que j'emprunte à l'auberge en leur promettant de le ramener lorsque je viendrai chercher mon vélo!<br>

... for lunch is an area called Chininitos where there are lots of chairs and tables set outside for a great seafood. <br>Teatro Romano is another nice place to visit, heading up to the Mount Gilfrano from there allows to see the whole city underneath. Amazing view of the Torre where the bullfighting occurs. <br>Once seeing the precaussions was over at night, we head out to Cordoba for our last day of visit in the Southern Spain.

... the edge. I hadn't anticipated so much raw emotion. But it was so so surreal, like I'd just walked back into their lives after been presumed dead for ten years or something. The moment was massive. So I've made it to my final destination. I'm here, and the relief is nice. It feels good. I'm back in the feathery comfort of the family nest for the forseeable future and I won't have ...
