We made a short leisurely trip along to Marbella where found the cheapest marina available, unpacked the bikes and set off along the promenade to Puerto Banus where the Rich come to be seen, and the others just to dream!!
Marbella - First, Build Your Beach
Then - Build the People!
Then - Do your Stretches
Then we checked out Puerto Banus, where you take to Roller to the Ice Cream Shop: The place to be seen.
And then the next day, we sailed Paul and Stephanie over from Marbella to Fuengirola - actually Stephanie sailed us over - for someone who hadn’t sailed before, she was a natural!
Puerto Banus - The Rich come to be Seen, the others, just to Dream
All that money worked up an appetite - time for a BBQ
Lunch?
The next day we met up with Richard who was over from the UK and my Cousin Paul and Stephanie who live in a beautiful 300 year house in the hills behind Fuengerola.
The first challenge was getting on and off the boat - the pontoons were not exactly ‘Yacht Friendly’
It really was a big step for man! Luckily, there were several there to help.
Lunch on the Beach, well almost, Thank you very much Paul
Paul and Stephanie became Tourist Guides and after a drive through Fuengirola we set off inland to the picturesque village of Mijas
We immediately felt welcome - even the plant pots matched us!
Mijas really is a very pretty village
Ian, surrounded by Stephanies!!!
Shop Security, Mijas style - could Selfridges learn from this??
So we'll sign off with a big thank you to Paul and Stephanie for being such wonderful hosts in Marbella and Fuengirola.
We've now spent 6 weeks on the boat together - run out of conversation so resorted to texting each other!
Next Stop: Heading North - towards Cartagena
