Malaga

Caught the train no problem using debit cards through the barrier. In Malaga, Julia got out ok but computer said no to my card. Had a heated discussion with Spanish official. Just shrugged his shoulders. Got out with Julia's card and found a Santander Bank. Further dispute took place and achieved nothing. Thanked her very much and swept out. After bread and honey for breakfast during which time I froze and unfroze my card, we set off for the Cathedral. Just before going in to Cathedral I attempted to withdraw som cash with my card. All was well.
Very lovely baroque cathedral. Quite enormous building. Got my cathedral passport stamped with no bother and it had plenty of ink!
We wended our through the gardens to the Pompidou Centre to visit the Kandinsky exhibition.( Russian abstract painter). My favourite.
We opted for lunch at a harbour side bistro. Delicious seafood cocktail and local beer. The waiter had a fabulous moustache and a great smile 😃
Wandered round the little market and set off to see the old town. We saw the Roman Amphitheatre and some roman pots for making fish sauce. We saw some nice old buildings and came across a Turkish teashop, where we had tea and baklava. Very refreshing. Eventually we found our way back to the station. My card still refused so again had use Julia's. No idea what's going on with card but Julia will pay for everything from now on.
We went in search of a small gift for Gavin. Proved extremely difficult and our limbs together with our feet were screaming by this time. Gift purchased we headed home changed and set off to find the lift to the beach. Once on the beach our feet were in the sea quick sharp. Absolute bliss.
Dinner in the neatest restaurant and back now busy packing....not easy and having tea and lemon meringue pie.
We have totted up our steps and distances which amount to 53 miles. No wonder we are tired.
Wonderful time away with my favourite sister. Thank you LarryBaca selengkapnya
