Days 430-436, 16-22 Aug '15, Animales Amazonas! Yes. Here in Fuengirola. But first, the bloodthirsty rampage of domestic violence continues here in Andalucia with the 6th woman to be killed this year (and 34 women killed in Spain). Our weekly free paper is a font of generally happy and interesting info - and keeps one up to date on horrors too. This time a 72 year old cabbie, known to be horrendously possessive, killed his 68 year old wife with an axe. Marrie...

Days 423-429, 9-15 Aug '15, Peace & Tranquility. For anyone who's been thinking that James and I are having just too much fun... (you know who you are)... you'll be pleased to know we've had a quiet week. With Turkey next on the radar (come 30 Sept) we are being muy economico during our remaining time in Spain. On Tuesday we saved €2 by walking to the market instead of taking the bus. Didn't stop for a bite and a drink and that saved €6. Sounds like ...

Days 416-422, 2-8 Aug '15, Accidental Rock Concert Extravaganza Week... Yes - us! The week just gone started with a whimper and ended with a bang - literally. Last Sunday was a hugely lazy day with a fabulous hit rate on Youtube for catching up on movies on our "must-see" list - Colin Firth in Kingsman, The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and Jason Statham's latest offering - Spy. In news just in, it's apparently been the hottest July in the last 30 years. ...

Days 409-415, 26 July-1 August 2015, Fuengirola, 10th Anniversary... We're not at the half way point of our Spanish stay for another couple of weeks - which is hugely reassuring as we're having so much fun. Packing on the other hand is not going to be much fun as we keep finding absolutely necessary treasures at our market jaunts. Tuesday was fruit and vege day as usual and half the fridge is still harbouring a massive water melon. That's not the problem... it...

Days 402-408, 19-25 July '15, "Pink Floyd" (The Other Side) at the Castle of Sohail (Castillo de Sohail). In news just in, this is a brilliant, astounding, amazing, splendid and splendiferous show - like, really, really, really good - so if you see them advertised in your vicinity - well worth the pricetag of €38/A$60 odd. We feel like we deserved this show as it took a huge amount of effort to get the tickets... starting back in June when we were still in Ir...
