MY HOLIDAY IN CALAHONDA

SPAIN

The Adventure began on Sunday October 27th 2002! and what an adventure it was, particularly as our departure flight coincided with the windiest day in the UK since the Hurricane in the 1980's! This was my first flight and wont be forgotten ! The plane departed at 6.45am sharp with the pilot telling us that we had to make a rapid departure otherwise our flight may not be allowed to leave - he also very reassuringly! told us that he would do his utmost to keep the plane straight - at that point I wanted to get off the plane! but it was too late as we were taxi-ing! Help! I survived though, despite the plane lurching from side to side. Upon arrival at Malaga airport I was pleased I'd been brave! We arrived to bright sunshine and very hot weather - off came the winter clothes! We spent every day on the beach, apart from one morning when we went to Gibraltar. Felt at home there - even saw one of our policemen.. everything is very British in Gibraltar! even the shops. The people in Spain are very welcoming and nice and I would not hesitate to go back.. in fact I am going back next year.. yippeee! Had lots to eat and drink (there's now a shortage of Sangria in Calahonda!)....Only one complaint! On the first day of my holiday I wrote out and posted 15 postcards to family and friends but to date, (November 14th 2002) not one of the cards have arrived - what a let down. I will just have to go back and resend them!

Hope you enjoy seeing some of my photos of my first holiday abroad!
(Please allow pictures to load.. they take a little while - sorry!)
