Weather: 25º C and Sunny (felt hotter than that though - possibly due to humidity) Mileage: 335 km; Total 3,775 kms It was a long wait at the border. It was a long wait to get our lunch. It was a long wait for the cable car. It was a long wait to get the car out of the parking lot. But it was a great day. Found a place off the Marques de Larios (the pedestrian shopping street) that was open early for breakfast. The hotel restaurants are open but they...

Weather: 27º C and Sunny Malaga was worth the visit. In fact we enjoyed it a lot and given the opportunity will come back. We had no intention of getting out of the old town and succeeded. First stop was breakfast down a side street. The freshly squeezed orange juice was the best we have had.

Weather: 26º C Overcast and Sunny Mileage: 210 Km; Total 3,440 kms A short trip today so we planned on 2 stops on the way. The first was Fuente de Piedra and the second was Antequera. Outside of Fuente de Piedra is a lagoon which is Europe’s major nesting area for the Greater Flamingo migrating from Africa. The lagoon is a shallow saltwater body where the birds arrive between February and March to breed. They leave in August when the lagoon dries ...

Tickets to the Alhambra are purchased for the morning session (0830 to 2pm) or afternoon (2-8pm). Once you select which session y...

Weather: 27º C and high cloud (good driving weather) Mileage: 465 Km; Total 3,695 kms For the last 45 minutes of this trip all we saw were olive groves for as far as the eye could see – would have literally been millions of trees. Never seen anything like it. This would even put the pine tree forests through Tokoroa and Putaruru to shame. Apart from that not much to say about today. Billy just had to follow a straight road and access to the hotel...
