After the torrential rain, we went to a lovely park Sue McKie had suggested. On the plus side it really was a lovely park, with rabbits running wild, chicken, cocks, peacocks and the best entertainment was the Ginger cat trying to catch the pigeons, which he never did.

Picture of kp in the park at the bottom.

The downside of the park was the distance from the hotel which I had underestimated and that it was down a big hill and up a big hill there and back! Kp was in a lot of pain when we got back! She wasn’t keen about leaving the room for dinner even and there us no room service! But she battled through it ad she does and she was glad she did as we had a lovely meal,

Lovely weather today in Benalmadena.

We had planned to go to Mijas and en route was the cablecar to the mountain top which we stopped off at. Well worth the £10er each. The views were spectacular and probably not done justice by the attached photos.

It was noticeably colder and windier at the top. Probably 1000m above where we got in the cablecar! At the top were the most amazing views. They also did a falconry display and although we didn’t stay for it as our day was too packed to wait 45mins we did see the amazing birds. Well a few of them! A huge owl, great eagle, vulture etc …

Very impressive!

The cablecar people were great and slowed the whole thing down for kp to get in and out!

Cablecar done we headed the scenic route to Mijas. It really was a beautiful place! Photos attached!

Now, the day had been quite packed so far (perhaps we were overdoing it) and kp was really flagging when she got back. We had just enough time for her to have a bath before we went to the Andalucian horse show. It was a bit of a rush but we made it. The horse show (kp’s choice) was amazing but far too long. Once you have seen a horse walk sideways, walk in a circle on its hind legs backwards a couple of times, that’s enough. 1.5 hours is too much. Don’t get me wrong it really was amazing, but looong!

It was 8pm when we got back and kp was in a LOT of pain and we were both hungry. So as soon as we were changed we headed to a nearby restaurant. We got 9/10th’s of the way and as soon as we could smell the food’ kp felt nauseous …. Really nauseous. She was going to be sick (in our heads) so we got off the busy pedestrian sea walk and went on the beach and sat on a rock as kp composed herself.

Kp :- “I just need to get back to the bedroom”

We made it back with no vomit trails but a kp feeling VERY rough. We think it was the morphine,diclofenac,codeine cocktail she had before we went out that did it.

So…..we had both just had a bacon sandwich for breakfast all day but were just glad that she was back in the room in 1 piece!

So, good day overall, but an unfortunate ending.

Last day of good weather tomorrow so we were hoping to go to Ronda, but we will have to see.

Fingers crossed….tomorrow she feels better!
