Day 19 Friday 30 September Zurich to Malaga to Benalmadena  31 degrees

After a great nights sleep everyone is feeling a little better.  It looks like another beautiful sunny day. We take bets on when the luggage will arrive. The range is from 10.30 to 2.30. We can’t really go anywhere as we have to be here when the luggage arrives. The luggage eventually arrives at 1.40 and Karen is the winner with 1.45.. It must be Karen’s birthday – oh wait – it is!!!  A big celebration is planned. Everyone is feeling a lot more relaxed now.
After unpacking and a bite of lunch Ann and I go for a walk along the breakwater and have a paddle in the Mediterranean. The harbour looks very busy but scenic with the mountains as a backdrop.  We have a couple of drinks - happy hour - and head off to dinner. There are plenty of choices along the marina and we settle on a Mexican restaurant called Amigos which seems fitting. The girls have sangria which they liked very much. The meal was very good and after dinner we head back for Ice Cream Cake to celebrate Karen’s birthday. We all feel very full.

Happy Birthday Kaz !!! Xx
Woke all afresh - it was still dark at 745am. Walked around the Marina looking at all the different shops and stalls - the ‘spider man’ had really weird nik naks. We all had a lottery for when our luggage would arrive, Karen did the chasing up on the phone. Spain seems to have a “Fiji” style of timing. We were constantly watching out of the window at all the vans pulling in near the taxi rank - Ross even went down to one van who seemed lost, but it wasn’t our luggage. Luggage finally arrived at 145 and the mood lifted considerably. We all made piles of our dirty laundry and had a nice lunch. Had another walk around the area, venturing further down the beach to the high rise apartment along the beach (Benidorm style). After happy hour we ventured out to celebrate Karen’s birthday and we decided on Mexican. A very guuuuuuud time was had by all, the Sangria was especially nice. Home for special cake Ross had arranged and snuck into the kitchen. I think we will all sleep well tonight.
