Riu Ferrara Torrox

... it was her first time ever making a turkey in the oven. She also told me that she spent two weeks looking on the Internet for a recipe on how to cook a turkey. I really appreciate that she did that and that she put so much effort into making it. It was really nice of her to help us feel at home. Even though it was different it was still very good. A very good Spanish Thanksgiving. She also told me that I need to visit Barcelona ...

... meal -- Fresh guacamole, mandarin oranges, persimmons, nuts, chips, cheese, bread, wine and beer. It was perfect.

We then went into Nerja and spent time on the beach. Jaime went swimming (the rest of us were smart enough to realize that it was freaking cold, so she went solo). We went to a nice gelattoria, and had great ice cream, coffee and treats. Nerja is where we did our grocery shopping (at the SuperMercado), and we ...

A couple of days ago I was talking with a friend of mine who is from England but is living in Malaga now. He told me that one time in a restaurant the waiter asked how the meal was and he told the waiter that it wasn't that good. He told me that normally the British will just sit there with an unhappy look on their face and never say anything. He got the meal for free. Today I met two really cool people from Seville, Alejandro (Alex) and ...

... selling sea food and having bbqs on the beach. The weather is amazing cant believe that its still around the 25 degrees mark at this time of year.

We walked for a while and then worked our way back to the hotel where Ian went and lay by the pool for a little while reading his book while I had a little sleep. Its only a few days now until we come home and I am excited although I want to keep on travelling around. We got ready ...

... the ferry over to Algeciras it only took an hour and half and then we where in spain, I felt a huge weight lift as now we can relax a little. In morroco you are always on edge always watching and not trusting people that it makes you a little crazy. So we went and got our bus tickets and we waited in a little bus station cafe and had our first taste of Spanish food. Ian had some paella and I had some meatballs ...

i made it across the pond just fine, spent a few days in london with terry and his friends going out to dinner and beer tasting at a local london pub. my shift key went out on the keyboard so mostly everything will be typed in lower case; i do apologize for this.

terry and i made it from essex to london's gatwick airport by public transport, only took 1 taxi, 6 trains, and 1 bus to get us there but we made it. since i'm a bit loaded down with luggage and one piece ...

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 ...

19th October 2008 Camping El Pino, Torrox Cloudy and warm I've finally manged to get the WEP key for the bar wifi and eventually got in, so hopefully once I'm fully recharged I'll be able to get in and load up all my photos. Dave has gone off on his bike for a blast in the hills. I know he gets frustrated by the fact that I'm a bit of a slow coach AND of course there's no competitiveness where I'm concerned. The ...

... did get a few pictures of this, but a) they don't do justice and b) my camera died before I got all the way through it.) the Cathedral is still in use and not just a tourist attraction, and has tons of old paintings, and beautiful stained glass windows. After the Cathedral we met up very quickly with Maya's friend, who lived there, Amanda, but we had to get up to La Alhambra. Btw, I had no idea what this place was or anything, except that Maya kept ...

... eventually got the last bus back to town again at midnight. Still no sign of Kirsty! I checked my e-mail. No mail. I checked my phone. No messages. But there was a missed call at 10.30 from a UK number. I googled the number and realised it was a number from Luton (the airport Kirsty was supposed to fly from) so rang ...
