Four days and three nights in Fuengirola. I packed too much. Mine is the gray suitcase. San Geraldo is in basic black. Of course, two pair of his shoes and that’s the end of a suitcase. And yet we both forgot things. I never did get around to writing yesterday. There were places to go and people to see. It’s been a pleasure and the weather has been perfect. The city was booked up by the time we made our plans. So we’re staying in a funky, fun old hotel in the center of town. The check-in person was charmed and upgraded our room. It’s about a mile away but is spacious through a maze of halls and courtyards and footbridges, and has a large private terrace. I might video the walk. Maybe we’ll even catch glimpses of some of the tacky people. I’ll tell you more once we’re home. We head back Sunday evening.
Cuatro días y tres noches en Fuengirola. Llevé demasiadas cosas. La mía es la maleta gris. San Geraldo es la básica negra. Y aun así, a los dos se nos olvidaron cosas. Ayer no llegué a escribir. Había lugares a donde ir y gente que ver. Ha sido un placer y el tiempo ha sido perfecto. La ciudad estaba llena cuando hicimos nuestros aviones. Así que nos hospedamos en un hotel antiguo, original y divertido en el centro. La persona que nos atendió en recepción quedó encantada y nos dio una habitación superior. Está a un kilómetro y medio, pero es espaciosa, con un laberinto de pasillos, patios y pasarelas, y tiene una enorme terraza privada. Quizás grabe el paseo en vídeo. Tal vez incluso veamos a alguna de las personas más extravagantes. Os contaré más cuando volvamos a casa. Regresamos el domingo por la noche.
One of the few joys of traveling by car, is being able to pack more stuff.
David,
Exactly… and dangers.
“A funky, fun old hotel in the centre of town” sounds far better than “a multi-storey hotel with swimming pools, a massive buffet, a tea dance, and activities for children, with a TUI rep sat in reception”!
We travel to Spain for a weekwith just hand luggage! I never understand why anyone takes so much gear with them on holiday… Jx
Jon,
There’s still a swimming pool and a massive buffet. But it’s been ok. SG always takes too much, but being in a car this time made us feel even freer with packing. Silly, really.
Sounds like you will have a great time. I always pack lightly, I guess it is from years of traveling with students and having to lug a suitcase around.
Michael,
I used to be much better at packing light. SG has never been.
Have a blast!
Debra,
It’s been great.
I prefer a funky fun old hotel especially with an upgraded room!
Have fun!!
Bob,
It’s been a good stay.
You two are are set!
Jim,
A good time.
That sounds lovely!
Rade,
It has been.
This sounds great. Pictures when you get back please. Boud
Boud,
You know there’ll be photos!
Oh, that sounds great! Enjoy. Olivia
Olivia,
Thought of you while out walking.
Your hotel sounds like a place I would feel most comfortable in.
Packing? Oh, you mean that thing where you open a suitcase and fill it with everything in the closet which fits? I know how to do that.
Have BIG fun!
Ms. Moon
Ms. Moon,
I doubt you’d like this place. Funky but huge, and breakfast is an assault on the senses.
Sounds like my kind of place.
Ellen,
I wonder. I’ll share photos of the hotel.
I’m so happy for you two!
Judy C,
It’s been great.
I immediately recognized the title of your post — that book is popular in the school library where I worked! A private terrace is nothing to sneeze at. Looking forward to some photos of beach fashion. 🙂
Steve:
I saw so many fashion disasters but I think I only have a couple of photos. Will go through them all and see what I managed. Too many hunks to mention!
That’s great, have a enjoy.
I am mad-jealous! You are a lucky one for that!
Urspo:
A nice long weekend.
The luggage reminds me of work, where part of my job is taking them out of boxes and tagging them.
Kirk:
I don’t know what work you do, but it sounds like they’re at least empty when you tag them.
