Hostal El Castillo Marbella

After days at sea we had a short stop in Malaga before docking the next day back in Savona. I have decided that I am not crazy about the days at sea. Even though I really enjoyed all the ports, I don't think I would do anther big curise. The fact that there were only small number of people who spoke enlgish on the ship was interesting.

... Margaret River in Western Australia), then went to the "Den" where all the monkeys hang out. there were even little baby ones! AWW!! They were so cute, if not a little cheeky.

Anyway, I was totally smitten when a little baby ...

... feel like it was early October like its been like. The leaves are still all green on the trees though. It's still hard to believe that it's almost December.

... No words or pictures could fully capture the essence of this city, you just have to be there to fully experience its beauty. I then explored the city, going to places that are not commonly visited by tourists, I did some shopping, had a beer and tapas at a small restaurant and then walked through the park. Unfortunately, the day was cut short due to time restrictions and I did not have the chance to do everything I wanted to do but I will definitely be back.

... probably something like shrimp) WITH THE HEAD AND TAIL AND EVERYTHING. I was lucky they weren´t swimming around in my soup. Now, everyone who knows me knows that i don´t really like trying new foods, but since i´m in a new country (and my host mom slaved over the stove to make this for us) i am making a concerted effort to try everything before saying i don´t like it. So i tried the soup/paella (sin gapas) and it was pretty good ...
