Away we go. Goodbye Europe and Hello Africa! The day started with more exploration of the city of Malaga, visiting the Pablo Picasso museum, and navigating our way to the airport. Goal for today: get from Malaga to Italy, Italy to Ethiopia, Ethiopia to Uganda. Airports are an interesting place to hang out and this trip has been great in experiencing the variation in the process. In Malaga, each airline had multiple check in counters, but you were sorted by flight. Meaning you could only check in for a flight when they wanted you to. So despite getting to the airport 2.5 hours early, we had 45 minutes before boarding. Italy’s airport was more like a Mall of America than an airport. Finally, Ethiopia‘s had a triple check-in. One to get into the departure terminal (which ... read more

To escape the miseries of winter at Sauble Beach this year we decided on the south of Spain in January and February then Italy in March. We did a combination of self booking (Air bnb) and had a knowledgeable agent help us with trains and tours in Italy. The first week was spent in Madrid with a day trip to Toledo; now we are in Malaga in a cosy apartment until the end of February. Here is the first installment of our latest adventure.... read more

Zwischen Hafen und Altstadt ist hier entlang der Hauptverkehrsadern quasi ein üppiger tropischer Garten mit Palmen, Platanen, Gummibäumen etc. angelegt. Die Kathedrale beeindruckt durch Größe 117mLx 72mBx48mH und ungewöhnliche... read more

Zoe Malaga?! This morning we had to get up early to catch a flight. Where to? You say, well we are going to Malaga. It takes 1:50 hours, to fly from the North of Spain to the South of Spain. When we arrived we had to catch a van to the car rental place. When we were waiting in line for the van the man told us that there was only one more seat in the van. So dad had to catch the van without us. But it only took 2 minutes for the next van to come. The ride was only 10 minutes from the airport. Then we got our rental car. It was exciting because Dad had to drive on the other side of the road. Plus our house is on the side of ... read more
