Time still flies.
Today we went out to Fuengirola, parking in the underground car-park at Las Rampas. Our mission today was to find a shoe repairers. One of Claire's sandals had a problem with a flap broken.
Could we find one? Could we heck.
In the end I bought a silver bull to go on pannier for the extortionate amount of €2.
We had a coffee and decided to go to Coin. A white village some 25 kms to the north. TomTom was programmed and we set off through previously unseen Fuengirola until we recognised a bit of the route. Now a beautifully EU funded stretch of paved road to Alhaurin.
In 2010, the last time we had a car, we had several off road and gravel tracks to negotiate around the road building programme.
The journey to Coin took much longer than 19 miles ought!! We parked outside the town near Antonio's motorcycle shop, and walked back into the square. Jesus at one end and a fountain at the other, with a bandstand in between.
We had a coffee and then set the TomTom for home. A short diversion to Hipercor in Fuengirola elicited some small Velcro buttons to fix the sandal. Job done.
After our normal kindle session I left Claire at her siesta and I walked to reception to use the wifi on the Acer notepad.
I wanted to upload some pics to Flickr. Halfway through it stopped. I sat in the sun watching the paused upload. Time passed. I checked Flickr's website and they had a dumb ass message saying there was a problem and they were fixing it. Were they?
In the end I gave up and have no idea if it worked.
Tonight's dinner was in Cala de Mijas. A short drive away. We found there is more there than we had expected! We have been coming here since about 2002 and never guessed.
Dinner was in a restaurant that seemed to be part town "pensionista" hang out and part restaurant. Excellent food at low prices!
And then home to work through the 12-pack and then bed.
Malaga tomorrow?
