Sunflower fields we saw on the way
Pink Flamingos
We drove to a lake where they where supposed to be was told that it was a short walk to see them, well we followed the path, then had to go off road to even see them, we traipsed through thistle, grass and bush only to realise they where still ages away from where we could walk and there was a big busy in front of them. I climbed on Josh's shoulders and used the 10 times zoom!!! on the camera to get a photo! Needless to say some of us where not very impressed with the walk! At least we got the photo, if not a few splinters as we where all wearing jandals!
Day Two - afternoon
Sights around the town
We went out on the train to a village outside of the main center and went up to the mountains on a gondola to check out the sights. Josh enjoyed the kiddies ride at the top!
Day Two evening - Dinner outside the cathedral, the time is just after 9pm!
Day Two
We started the day off in the Botanical Gardens, had a walk around which was nice
Day One - Evening
The main strip. Also we saw a parade, it was the Festival of the Saints of Malaga, we asked the waiter what was happening and he did a nice illustration with serviettes with a card going from one serviette home to another, only once a year, he even sang the song for us! So what i think it is, is that the caskets of the saints go from one resting place to another via procession once a year - you'll need to google if you want anymore information.
Then we went back to town and look around the buildings and squares more.

Views from the top of Alcazaba and the castle, this is the fortress and the castle for the rulers of he city, mostly dating from the 11th century. It was built on a spur and adapted to its contours.

Pictures from the beach
The Bull fighting ring
View of the harbour
We enjoyed 3 days in Malaga this weekend, with beautiful weather and sunshine, where we all went brown and not red (like NZ sun) and had between 28 to 33 degrees. The sun stayed beautifully hot for at least 12 hours during the day and the sun set at 9pm at night, it was so nice. The hottest part of the day was between 4-6pm. So Mike our infamous tour leader ensured i was in the sun at those times! We flew out Friday night and checked in to our hotel at 2am on Saturday morning. Mike and Lou went on holiday with us but they arrived a few hours earlier. We met up with them after breakfast at about 10am and set off to see the sights. We took Monday off work and booked on a 8.40pm flight that should have seen us back in London at 10pm, but it was delayed 4 hours and we ended home at 4am - boy where we tired when we got up to go to work after only a few hours sleep! It is now 10pm as i write this having had only a few hours sleep the night before! Despite the delay and utter exhaustion, it was so nice to have a break in the sunshine!
