We leave tomorrow morning bright and early, but we just thought we´d end it all. Ryan managed to get a ticket just 50meters before dropping the bike back off at Hispana Tours today. The officer was not pleased, that he had made three traffic violations in a matter of thirty seconds and he was watching. It costs him 63 euro, and a wee heart attack. We managed to get the ticket down to two infractions instead of the three. He had to pay the ticket right on the spot, but didn´t have the money so I had to stay with the police, I suppose for insurance, that he would return ;) We say good bye to friendly people, fresh sea food, and the imaculate white buildings. ... read more

Så kommer vores længe ventede opdatering af rejsebloggen endelig ;) Vi er som sagt flyttet ind hos to marokkanske piger, der studerer her i Málaga. Lejligheden er overraskende stor og ligger i et meget børnevenligt kvarter, så vores mødre kan ånde lettede op. Vi har hvert vores relativt store værelse lige ved siden af hinanden samt to badeværelser. Så endelig noget, vi har været heldige med, idet huslejen også er relativt billig (150 euro + elektricitet hver pr. måned). Dog er der et lille MEN: Hygiejnen - eller manglen på samme. Pigerne er rigtig, rigtig søde, men går desværre ikke ret højt op i hygiejnen. Og dog; de vasker køkkengulvet hver aften - det er desværre bare i det samme og efterhånden kolde og beskidte vand, der genbruges dag efter dag. Ironisk nok lader de så ... read more

A couple of days ago we went to the Feria celebration in downtown Malaga, followed by a corrida de toros (bull fight). It was a very fun and eventful day, if not a little exhausting. We drank too much Malaguenen wine - a sweet white wine, danced, and listened to the various flamenco bands and groups of women dressed in Sevillana serenade the masses with traditional songs. These are some of the photos from the day.... read more

A couple of nights ago, Lucas, Ana (Eva's daughter), & I went to have tapas in downtown Malaga with my host bro Eugenio and his family. It has changed so much since I lived here 20 years ago, and is really cool! Lots of people out and about, and many streets are now closed to vehicle traffic. I took these pics while walking to and from the restaurant from Eu's house. So fun! You really get a sense of the modern justaposted with the past. It's magnificent!... read more

Lucas & I arrived safely a couple of days ago and have been to the beach each day. I´m making this posting in the hostel of my host sister Esther in downtown Malaga. It´s very cool, modern and hip, with beautiful Bougainvillea on the front terrace where people eat breakfast and hang out. This morning I met a German women and her son, a Portuguese couple, and a Dane with her half Danish/half Brazilian daughter. The Dane speaks Brazilian portuguese so we understand each other pretty well. It´s a lot easier to understand than Portugal portuguese. Lucas is definitely getting an international experience here. The Dane´s daughter only speaks Danish, but with kids they communicate well without language. We´re having a ball, and trying to get Lucas used to the time change. He´s made fast friends ... read more
