Villa Flamenca Nerja

... est en train de s'habituer à entendre cette langue, je comprends de plus en plus, mais j'ai encore de la peine à m'exprimer. <br>Envie de profiter de chaque seconde...<br>les nuits se rafraîchissent et un matin je découvre du givre sur mon chemin des toilettes... ggrrrr... le pipi du matin devient la première expédition de la journée!!<br>Je passe mes matinées à travailler dans la ferme, beaucoup de désherbage, y a un côté méditatif ...

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. <br><br>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 ...

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.

... called Competa. We finally visited a winery - it was pretty rinky-din. Wine tasting in this area is nothing like in California. They only served white wine. Very sweet, almost like dessert wine. It was interesting. We then headed to another nearby town called Torrox for dinner. We were told by several people that El Chicla was the best ...

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>

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 :)<br>The trick is to head out to the old part of town to see the actions. Lots of architectures are dated back few years. <br>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. <br>The best ...

... me barely making it to a chair before I collapsed under the weight of my pack (despite my best efforts, I am getting weaker and my bag is getting heavier). At least Cameron looks buff (all those Spanish push-ups - see previous blog). (I should explain a little more - I joined the WWOOF España network http://ruralvolunteers.org/, as Cameron and I hoped to get a week or two volunteer work on a farm, which would have two advantages, 1) to hang out and speak Spanish, and ...

... a nice breeze. According to Lee and the screams of many a tourist the water was extremely cold. Occasionally someone would get in but never for long. I had expected the water here to be warmer than our other beaches since we are in the Mediterranean here but that´s not the case. For dinner Lee and I stumbled across one of Rick Steve´s recommendations by accident. We had read about Cafe New Orleans in his guidebook but thought it would be too expensive and dressy. We ...

... part. HAHA. So after our tour, we loaded up the bus and hauled butt back to Seville because the bus was needed for another group later that night. We made great time - going about a million MPH the whole way!! So on to my weekend plans! A group of us has organized a weekend trip to Tarifa - which is the southern most point of Europe & the wind & kite surfing capital of the world. We leave at 9:00 am sharp & I'll be sure to post an entry once we get there. Have a safe weekend everyone!!!
