Winter Holidays- Part 1- Benalmadena

ok... the time has come... i know its been some time since i updated a proper photoblog... not to worry... i have looooaadds of photo to upload in the next few weeks... there are photos from my christmas holiday..

i was thinking of how i should post this... whether to do it like most ppl do it.... going, day 1, day 2, day 3.... etc etc.... or another way.... i felt in my case... the day to day one isnt a good way... because firstly, there are some days which i took very little photos.. and secondly, there's too many days... if i blog one day by one day... i'll need....... 16? post...!! haha....

so the way i decide to blog it is by place.. this way is better because there are a few days we spent in the same place... so by blogging place by place, i can combine a few days of photo together.

the 1st place is of cause our main base, Benalmadena. We stayed here i think for 6 nights? if i'm not mistaken... and in between... we go to other nearby places for day trips..

okay! this is a photo blog. so im going to shut up now and u guys can check out the photos.. i'll write a little commentary where i see fit..




Benalmadena

ok..... so this is the 6 star hotel we stayed in.....


ok.... u got me.... thats NOT a 6 star hotel... neither did we stayed there... we were staying right opposite it....

this one right here....


our rented car.... hmmm... cant complaint.


bout the resort, it honestly isnt as bad as it looks.... first of all, its not a hotel... its a service apartment.. and this is the view from our unit....

the whole resort is very spanish... (DUH!)..... =.=

and in fact... the whole town is very very spanish... (=.=" double DUH..!)





guess what?? zebras in spain have white and RED stripes!

once we arrive the place, we knew straight away we are here at the WRONG season...! its a harbour town!! and its WINTER... >.<




this is our first meal... and is definitely one of me and my mum's favourite meal in Spain.


dont worry, we didnt eat the cat.

anyway, this is very funny.. we were asking for directions to the resorts.. and this guy in the petrol station ask us to look out for, and i quote from lihung, "windmills"..... and being an engineer... when u say windmill... i wasn't exactly thinking about THIS!!!

KFC?

this is a very very big park near our hotel. so we just walk through and check it out,..





"GET OFF MY TURF!!"...LOL




the big bully...!!!! 1st day in Spain and sam is already bullying young and innocent (0.0) spanish girls...


"WHO YOU CALLING CHICKEN!?"


this was very very spectacular... for some weird reason, suddenly, nearly all the birds in the lake just started flying off at the same time...! manage to catch a few pictures only...



sam chasing some rabbit... wait..... or was it the other way around...


it helps when your parents are in a good mood while traveling.. much more enjoyable. ;p

'LUXURY APARTMENT'.... apparently.......


Malaysian spiderman?

lol... people studying in Warwick,..... yup! there's a Casbah in Spain... although i know the one in Coventry is spelt as Kasbar..;p


these 2 pictures were hanging in our unit.... and somehow... i really like them.. 0.0


u'll never expect to find the best french loaf here.... but seriously.... their french loaf...!!! O.M.G!




looks like there's a fire huh.!


just a lil something something i was trying to do....


this is probably one of the most memorable part of the trip.... we went to see an actual real life traditional spanish dance..! although the dancers were a little...err... 'not so skinny'.... they were actually very very good....











and you'll never guess who can do the... "traditional spanish dance" lol



yup!! her!



oooohh yea....!
