Spain

If you read the last post, you will know that we did not sleep all night in anticipation for the flight. We left Manchester at 715 in the morning and took the 3 hour flight to Malaga, Spain. After sleeping the whole flight, we still felt like zombies. We then had to wait in a line for one hour for the rental car, and finally headed off to Algeciras. The plan was to get near to Gibraltar and that is where Algeciras is. The drive from Malaga is 1 hour.

Here was some random gondola on the way to Algeciras going up the mountain...Once we got on the road though we realized the address was not able to be found in the GPS. So once we arrived in Algeciras we had no idea where the hotel was.

Time for me to dust off my spanish. I asked a random lady who toldus to follow her. She then pointed us down a road that turned out NOT to be where the hotel was. Then I spotted two policemen who I asked and was able to get directions from. After another 30 minutes I asked some random Spaniard's that were having coffee and they were finally able to point us in the correct direction. The reason we could not find the hotel was because it was brand new, as in 1 month old! We got there and decided to take a nap being so exhausted. 5 hours later we realized that we just slept the day away. It was 9pm and we headed out to get some food. We had some local Spanish fare and headed back to the room. Tomorrow would be an amazing day filled with Cable Cars and Monkey's. I will update that one next!
Tomorrow the Monkeys!!!!
