Up at four...

The beast was off to Europe...




There now follows an inordinate amount of pics from a plane - I make no apology for this - I like them...


























  








After a trip of just over three hours, we made the final descent...


...over the Malaga hypermarket where I bored my chums last year by looking at CDs...



I was here for a cheeky wee 48 hour stay with chums Julio, Raymondo, Spike, JB, Bobby, Matty, Larry, Barry, Keith and Prog Rock Willie...


Of course, the first thing you must do when you land, is check your phone...


...and have a beer...







On to the minibus for the 50 minute drive along the coast...





...to Puerto Banus...

Very comfortable bed...


My colourful wardrobe...


The views from the office this afternoon...




More beer, by the pool...







...followed by a walk along to the port












...and a very long, leisurely meal which stretched well into the evening...










Suffice to say, somehow, very possibly due to sustained alcohol intake, I managed to become separated from my chums and spent a goodly amount of time wandering around the town trying to find my way back to the hotel...

Finally I found this and remembered it from earlier on...


Back at the hotel around ten - I was offered a further drink...


....but declined and, while the rest of team headed back off into the night, I hit the sack...

Room mate Larry strolled in around 3:15 and promptly passed out in the bathroom - which was good, as it muffled his raucous snoring...

At five he finally made it into his bed, increasing the sound of the snore somewhat...

Nonetheless, a good day...

Highlight of the Day : Trip to Spain....
