Coventry Transport Museum .......The Holiday Continues!!On Tuesday 16th August Isobel and Morgan joined us at Monte Canada for the remainder of the holiday. Great times in the pool and in the sea, visiting Mijas and Malaga, and plenty of walking as we took in the Castell, Fair and Market in Fuengirola. There was also the memorable ride on the cable car to visit the ‘Valley of Eagles’.

Fun on the Beach!!Beautiful golden sand, and blue skies and sea is what holiday in Spain is all about. The beaches in Torreblanca, Fuengirola and Carva ja l wer e a lways very inviting during our stay.

Coventry Transport Museum .......Up the mountains to MijasOn Friday 19th August we

decided to go exploring - and

caught the bus up the winding

mountain r oad t o Mi jas , a

beautiful white Spanish town

with it’s own ‘Donkey Taxis’ and

lovely little chapel.

B a c k t o E s t e p o n aOn the middle Sunday of the holiday Darren picked us up and took us back to Estepona for the day. Darren and Larry played ‘paddle tennis’, while the kids played around the pool. On the way home we stopped off at the fair in Fuengirola.

Cable car to Eagle ValleyAnother day out - we caught the train

to Benalmedena, and then the cable car

to the mountain top. There we saw the

vultures flying free in eagle Valley,

followed by a demonstration by the

other birds of prey in the bird

sanctuary. Finally we descended

eventually, after a frightening

experience in the cable car!!!

After walking around the shops, and lunching at MacDonalds we visited the beach and harbour, and while Larry climbed to the summit of the Castle hill, Lynne and the girls did a boat trip around the bay.
