Winter Holidays- part 3- Ronda

Before i begin, theres something i must say....

my dad has just ask me not to post family photos online...

not too sure why... but something to do with privacy...

but me and sam dont mind... so u'll see tht alot of the pics will be just me, sam and li hung from now on....

ok, back to the blog... this next destination, is actually the first proper day-road-trip..

we went to this place called Ronda.. its a very very traditional old town..

there is Literally only two attractions there...

first, is the "oldest operational bull ring in Spain"... YUP!!! it is...!! but unfortunately (or fortunately, in my mum's case..) we didnt get to see a bull fight,..

the second attraction is the "tallest" bridge in the world... it is definitely quite a sight.... and this two attractions alone was worth every minute of the 100mins drive from Benalmadena (our base)..

as you can see.... the roads are amazing!!!! not like roads in UK or Msia.... definitely the best roads i've traveled on (so far)...


we also drove pass some smaller villages in between and saw some traditional spanish outdoor market.... wasnt too impressed... but was still certainly very interesting..


also.... Spain definitely have the nicest petrol station i've ever seen (so far).......


its amazing how blue the sky was that day..... i didnt purposely edit it to be that blue... in fact.... it was so blue that i had to make it less blue so that the picture wont turn out so 'strong'... but the weather that day was amazing....


this dog was sitting outside the bull ring... once i took this pic it actually charged at me,,!!@#$%^&* literally scared the crap out of me....


just some horses outside the bullring.... the bull ring wasnt very nice from outside... so i didnt took much from outside....

from the inside on the other hand................

incredible.!



this photo had "bad exposure"... so decided to convert it into black and white...


help!!!!!! being chase by the bull!!!!!!!!


and theres the bull!!!!!!! (actually there was another bull... but photo was privacy-controlled ;p)



see this there was actually quite emotional and sad.... seeing the small "rehearsal room" for the bull.... its not actually a rehearsal room.... its basically the last room that its ever going to be in... the room where it spent its 'last moments'..... i mean.... just look at the door.... its like it knows its gonna die and trying to get out.....


the bull 'prisons'...

these are stables for horses.... there actually were some horses inside although u might not be able to see them from this picture....


this is pretty nice.....




no cameras were allowed in this room actually..... but er..... opss?



astalavista BABY!!!!!


and here it is!!!! the world's tallest bridge.... u werent there! u hv no idea how big it actually is.... it is really incredible....


this photo was edited abit more.... just to show you how deep the valley is..... without editing.... all u see is pitch black in the valley....





haha..... i love this pic.... not sure whether you get the humour.



more to come.....

ohhhhh soooo much more........
