It was very easy to stay afloat as the salt content in the water is extremely high. The beach slopes sharply from the edge of the water, which is fine when you are going in, but somewhat difficult to get out of. Jane ended up crawling on her hands and knees! ( lots of laughter involved). She tells me it was the only way she could get out. We caught a bus from here in Granada at 10am this morning and arrived in Malaga at 12noon. After a wander down the main drag, we hired a Italian to cycle us down to the beach - as you do.
It was one of those bikes with a little cabin thing on the back - you remember John, like the one we hired in Auckland on our honeymoon. Anyway, this Italian had lived in Christchurch for a while and had a Maori motif tattooed on his arm.
We hired two lounge chairs under a sun umbrella and spent a couple of hours dipping in and out of the sea.
Hola mis amigas! Ahora, tengo dos amigas en España. It was great to talk to you both on Skype. The NZALT motto is certainly true... Languages DO take you places. Three weeks ago we were in Queenstown learning about teaching Spanish, and now two thirds of us are in Spain learning about teaching Spanish... someone is missing...
ReplyDeleteMalaga looks very nice - and warm. How ironic to find someone in Malaga with a Maori tattoo!
Hasta luego.
