Arrived!

In the end arrived on the dock at Malaga at 2220 instead of 2020, and by the time we recovered the case we had missed the last train.

Apparently a plane in the morning was taken out of service so our plane had to go to Dalaman in Turkey first. I hope they all got on their holiday on time. As it was, the Airbus 300 to Malaga was full. All of us inconvenienced and out of pocket. Not even a free drink!!

The apartment complex is only about ten minutes from the airport. In the end we had to get a taxi. We asked the price up front and the driver quoted €20. A bit of a markup instead of the €3.70 on the train! Thanks Monarch.

In fact over the last 25 years or so I have driven past La Colina many times without even noticing it.

Manuel the night man showed us to the apartment on the top floor. Too late to see the sea view!

Two bedroom apartment, two large balconies and plenty of room. The partial kitchen shouldn't be too much of a problem.

We were sitting on the balcony off the lounge drinking coffee and eating toast from the welcome pack. It's midnight and still over 20C.

And on top of that the TV has BBC1 and I got to see Arsenal win at West Ham
