Los Pintores Resort Benalmadena

... she is from), Paris, and London. I really want to see all of those places.

Afterwords myself, Kate, Kirsten, Christina, and Rebecka walked together to Plaza de la Merced. On the way we encountered a giant Christmas bell and a Christmas tree decoration. Later, we had an interesting time at Plaza de la Merced with the people hanging out trying to sell us hashish.

The one time where I really missed American ...

... in English. She was very nice. I really enjoyed this bar, it was so refreshing to hear Spanish songs for a change. The night ended on a down note though…Juan’s bike got stolen. : ( It’s ironic because I had a conversation earlier about if I should get a bike and my friend from the intercabio that is from Malaga told me no, it would get stolen. It sucks that Juan’s bike got stolen. All in all tonight was a good night.

... and went for a walk along the strip again but the most of the places where closed up now so we had a pint in an irish bar again and then we went looking for food. We decided to stop off in another english place called Rumours and could not believe it when they put on all the soaps. We caught up with emmerdale and eastenders until I could take no more and we went off to get some chinese food. It was horrid and made us both feel a ...

... was very tasty and I feel better that I can at least eat again without being so paranoid about where the food has been stored all day. We had met an english lady on the train that was so ill by the food in morroco that i felt really glad and relieved that we had come off so lucky.

Ian was feeling much better as well thankfully and we go on the bus to our final place the Costa Del Sol rodney! It was a ...

... our ship, the navigator of the seas (royal caribbean) is repositioning to the caribbean for the winter. pricing on these types of cruises is very affordable and the type of people that cruise on the transatlantic sailings tend to be laid back, not the type who needs to be in a different port every day especially since we will have 6 sea days in a row as we cross the atlantic. i will have internet access on the ship so hopefully i'll be able to post daily.

We were so enjoying our time in Costa del Sol, nothing but beaches, pool time, and british families. Costa del Sol is pretty much the Florida of Europe, only the water´s not as warm. And the definition of a 4 star resort is a bit different in Spain than in the US... When we first arrived, they tried to put us in an apartment with 2 twin beds! Finally playing the ¨honeymoon¨ card played off, and we ended up with a spectacular room (see pics for the view). But after 4 days of lying ...

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 ,-)

After breakfast and nice stroll on the beach, we head out to see the next city in the list which was Malaga. Malaga is very big compare to its size on the map :)
The trick is to head out to the old part of town to see the actions. Lots of architectures are dated back few years.
Cathedral as like the other places, is a must see in the old city. Small cobble stone alleys make it very nice and easy for walk.
The best ...

'Hold on, let me just climb in to my bird suit..' Many many moons ago, two suspicious looking eleven year olds with nothing better to do got on their hands and knees and crawled head first into a filthy concrete water pipe. They crawled and crawled for ages, through the foul stench and echoey darkness all the way to a small chamber underneath the road which provided enough room to sit and catch a few breaths ...

... from Winnipeg, Canada were being transported to eastern Canada, in route to join the 2nd Canadian Infantry Brigade stationed in Europe. At a train stop in White River, Ontario, a lieutenant named Harry Colebourn purchased a female bear cub for $20 from a hunter who had killed its mother. The lieutenant named the cub "Winnipeg", after his hometown city of Winnipeg, and nicknamed it "Winnie" for short. Today I am grateful for downtime.
