Orgiva

After driving to Newcastle airport at silly o’clock, we caught our plane to Malaga. Collecting the hire car proved expensive because I’d paid for it in the internet through a third party. Taxes etc.

The drive was reasonable along the Spanish Autovias. I did find it odd changing gear with my right arm, driving on the right and navigating the roundabouts in an anti-clockwise direction. The little Fiat 500 struggled up the hills but it did manage the hairpin bends quite well. There was a terrific thunderstorm and torrential rain just after we’d unloaded the car.

It was lovely to see David and Caroline, we ate, drank and caught up. I’m now looking forward to some well earned sleep. I’ll be having cheese dreams tonight after sampling the local Manchego.
