Howdy all
Well this trip is going beautifully with Kerry and sue taking the brunt of “what the hell moments we so often encounter. I offer to provide assistance but they seem good with muddling through it, so follow we will.
I never described our accommodations. We are in a four bedroom apartment overlooking a huge square on the top floor. We have a small wrap around balcony that allows us to sit and listen to the live music while having a cocktail or two at night. The only issue of significance is the fact the bathroom has a frosted glass window that opens up into the kitchen. Yep right where you do dishes. So the poor b***** grabbing a bite or doing dishes and has to listen to what is being expelled from this body. That just ain’t right.
Today we had a beach day but in making our way their we popped into cathedral nuestra senor de la encarnacion. This cathedral is commonly referred to as the “ one armed lady, as one of the towers is partially built due to lack of funds.
We then made our way to the alcazaba de Malaga and teatro Romano where we looked around and took in the free sites with plans to go back and take the tour in the next day or two.
We arrived at the beach and made our way to a a couple of palapas and four chairs. This costs 14 euros per couple but it was worth it. A day on the beach swimming in the Mediterranean makes it all good.
We made our way back and 1/2 way stopped for a snack and a drink before arriving home. I went for a nap while Kerry sue and periwinkle drank on the balcony. When I awoke Kerry and sue were now drinking with doms alter ego “Minnie mouse”. Oh boy ignorance is about to rain down on me.
Everyone was hungry so we headed out and found if you wander a little out of the court yard prices drop considerably, ie: a tapas goes from 2.5 euros to 1 euros .
Yep found a great little place where I had catch up time so Minnie Mouse wouldn’t verbally abuse me. I ordered a rum and a side of coke . He came out with the bottle and kept pouring till I finally said “whoa”. ( my old cowboy days came back). Easily two plus ounces of this delicious nectar. A couple of those and I was caught up.
Dom and I split a pizza and ravioli which was fabulous. The bartender was very pleasant and a good old boy. When leaving he tried enticing us with Free shots or maybe it was tickets to a flamenco. I’m actually not sure what he was saying-did we mention the free pouring of booze he did .
We wandered around this place and it is surreal in description, finally ending up in our apartment for a nite cap.
Tomorrow we tentatively are going back for a tour of the alcazaba de Malaga and the hopefully the beach for a quick dip.
Oh by the way. 2 beers by a waiter at our chairs on the beach 8 euros. Went for a 5 minute walk picked up two large waters, four large beers and two bags of chips for 9 euros. Winner winner
That’s right I’m a Winnipeger “we don’t pay retail”. Bam. You want some more Spanish guy?
