Carrying On

After Gilbraltar, we drove to Mijas. This is a lovely town on the Mediterranrean Coast. Don and I had a wonderful Gelato, did a brief walk and shopped in a couple of the shops, until the rest of the group returned from s very HOT walking tour. Back on the bus and away we go to Costa Del Sol, Torremolinas.

We are here for two wonderful and relaxing days. Some of the group took an optional tour to Malaga to see Picasso’s birthplace. In the morning, we slept in a little (yes, we did) and after a light breakfast, we went and did our laundry, along with half of Costa De Sol.

In the early afternoon we strolled along the beach, had a light lunch and the strolled back to the hotel.

We had a lovely dinner on the Beach, Mediterranean style. It was tasty and the gentleman who played guitar and sang (age 87, I think) was really sweet.

After a lot of laughs, we walked back to the Hotel. Did I mention loooong walk back? No, that is not an error.

Tomorrow we are off to Granada. There is a walking tour to the Alhambra fortress/castle in the afternoon, but will be really hot. 3:30 p.m.

Frankfurt Airport – Such fun!

When we landed in Germany, we were not expecting the experience about to unfold.

All I can say is thank goodness we had time before our connecting flight to Madrid when was SUPPOSED to depart. We walked for 2+ hours, finally sat down at the proper station noted on our boarding pass and after about 5 minutes, Don asked me to double check we were in the right spot (we are exhausted at this point) and when I did, she just said…it is now changed,  you have to back to  station “x”. Another half hour and we finally get there and as the moment the time for departure comes up, they announce “no crew” will let you know how long.

During this ‘stroll’ we hit a border check spot and have to produce our passport and boarding pass before getting on a train to arrive on the floor where our trek continued.

Another 45 minutes pass, and we can leave. We were so afraid we would miss our transportation to the Hotel, but, of course, Insight Vacations do not disappoint. Off we go to the Hotel and our Welcome Dinner.

 

**note: wear good walking shoes…flip flops and spike heels a definite no-no
