Hola - Live from Spain on 7 Jul

Hola! We arrived in Spain, Malaga, last Friday after a 3 hours flight delay....

Spent a day and a half catching up on sleep and took a walk around town. Lucky us, Malaga's weather had been welcoming for us...not that hot. We left on Mon and took a 2 hour bus to a little hot town, Ronda, and the ride was beautiful! Reminded us of our travel in India...hot, no itinerary...hop on a bus and travel...the Spanish have been friendly and smiley too! We are learning Spanish fast too cos the locals hardly speak any English. 

Si, no, uno, cinco, cero, gracias, la cuenta...hola, adios, dos...hehe..

With failed attempts to WOOF around Ronda, we have checked ourselves into a cool eco friendly yurt for the next few days to chill out in the wild and green...and plan for our next stop in Spain.

This is most probably our last blog for the trip...do not be sad if you have been faithful followers..the photos will still be uploaded onto facebook. With 5-6 weeks left to go and limited internet access here...we have decided to just relax, chill, cut off from internet (apart from checking up on the trip!) and enjoy what's left! 

Time flies and we were still home sick on week 6. Now with less than 6 weeks to go, we do not yearn to go home...hehe...

Beautiful pictures of Spain below...Adios and see u in Singapore!!

Seat on the bus - we should have this back home. So cool!

Time of arrival in Spain!

Our first Tapas! 

Crab Salad and Spanish Omelet

The dried up river next to our hotel. Global warming is really bad everywhere...saw so many dried up rivers in India, England etc..

Makes me so conscious of using water nowadays. 

Remember to bring ur shopping bag when buying stuffs and reduce, reuse and recycle whenever you can...

The beach next to Malaga town.

Streets of old town in Malaga. Check out the shelter used to block out the heat..

Japanese newsapaper man!

Bus ride to Ronda

Sunflower fields!!! plenty along the way..

Gorge of Ronda. This is the view from our hotel room! Cool ah? but i got a little scared just looking out of the balcony...hehe

Bull fight in the oldest bull ring in Spain!

Let's see which bull is more fierce?

So who wins?

That's our hotel. Perched right on the cliff.

(Min, there were alot of tourists snapping photos of our hotel, cliff and bridge at the view point opposite us! Reminded us of you and Santorini)

Sunset view of Ronda.

Night view of the bridge from our hotel. 

(ps: the architect of this bridge jumped down from here after it was completed cos he felt that he would never built another one so beautiful..)

Our yurt! Peiyi, since we can't make it to Mongolia, this is probably the closest we can get here..haha

This is the coolest place and closest to nature apart from the desert under the stars in India..

That's where we are sleeping tonight and next few days..

Electricity run by solar panel. 

Water from mountain..

Outdoor shower and toilet.  There's no doors!

The most cool thing is the toilet..

No water but uses woodshed and everything self compost. 

The place is listed as one of the most eco-friendly accommodation in Spain! If you are interested, check out http://www.yurthotel.com/

Adios!
