Malaga, Spain

Malaga, Spain. Malaga is a very old port city but the main attraction for this stop is Granada. We‘ve been there, done that. Besides it’s a two and a half hour ride each way.

After breakfast we decided to go to town and see what ever there was to see. The Kapels did not want to. There were several taxis just off the gang plank. Their little union demanded 50 euros for an hour or 40 euros per hour for 2 or more hours. Far too much for my thinking . There were horse carriages there also. They wanted 50 euros for about 45 minutes but they were different.

It was about 60 degrees out but very windy so it felt much colder. I never did find out what our horses problem was but it kept whinnying very loudly.

We went past old well cared for buildings in the downtown area. Several were very impressive. Most were made of large blocks of stone. The city was very clean.

We went past a Tony Roma’s restaurant and a Burger King. We also saw the bull ring and went down the beach area. Obviously this is a place for tourists in the summer. This is the first place in Europe, we have seen, that has a large, very nice beach. All the other popular spots have very narrow and, or very rocky beaches. The street along the beach had many restaurants. Some looked very upscale. There were several Chinese restaurants.

Bobbi enjoyed the carriage ride. She said it was very romantic. That was about it for the day. The captain said we would be passing Gibraltar at about 10:30 PM. We should be able to see the lights.

We have had a death aboard ship today. Actually it was a murder and Muriel did it and has admitted to the killing. Not only did she kill the victim, she ate it up to the waist. That’s half a chocolate bunny and there can be no further reproduction. That’s because she ate the chocolate eggs too.
