I returned last night from a fantastic 3 days in Malaga. Activities included: the Picasso museum with some friends I made in the hostel.
A bike ride all the way along the coast until the path became a road and we stopped at the end and sat in a sea food resturante. It had an amazing concept which I had not experienced before where they just come out with a hand full of plates and shout the name, you then just raise your hand if you want that particular dish and then they charge you per plate. I tried some very weird and wonderful things such as baby squids and other strange creatures from the deep.
Each night was full with drinking, socialising and partying with all the cool people from the hostel (including the staff) and followed by 4-5 hours of sleep and then a cooked huevos con baicon (Bacon with eggs) for breakfast.
A day at the beach where i inevitably got sun burned. Dario and I played with typical wooden bat 'n' ball in the 28 degree heat and then went for a swim in the Mediterranean sea which was a refreshing 12-15 degrees (probly hotter than the sea on the English coast ever gets)
We also climbed the hill and visited some castles which ranged in age by a few hundred years
Attached pictures are just random bits that i got the camera out for and are not necessarily associated with the above mentioned activities
Overall it was great fun allthough something ill have to get used to is the idea of making friends whom you become very attached to and probably won't see again, I was overwhelmed with a sense of sadness when I had to say my goodbyes and as i made my way back to the bus station I had actually become really close with (from right to left) Dario from Switzerland, Sam and tatiana from the US.
But I'm am slowly realising that a big Part of traveling and especially on your own is that events, people and experiences are to be enjoyed in the moment and where possible captured in picture as a small window for you to look back through and remember.

ReplyDeleteWhat did you think of the Picasso art?
It's still raining here, snowing in Scotland and definitely NOT 28 degrees
hope you have got some yogurt and keep on with sun cream! Sad that you were sad to say goodbye to your new friends :(
ReplyDeleteaah, very true lesson of travelling but I found it actually makes the experience better because you ignore all the nonsense and pleasantries and you just have fun with people. And the really, really special ones (like Sammi for me) you find a way to keep in touch with even if they live 10,000 miles away. Sounds like a fab weekend.
ReplyDeleteBecareful with you nice white skin though!
