One of the things on Jackie´s list to do before we head home, is check out the Nike Store we saw on our way in from the airport. So on this Tuesday we head East to Torremolinos, which is the city we stayed in on our first night and took a tour through their factory outlet store, it was fun but not dramatically different then what we see back home. Left their to head to the area we new and loved on the first day, a cool walkway and shops right on the Mediteranian. Got a little screwed up on how to get there so parked a long jaunt away and had to walk through dog poop lined staircases to get there but once there, it was great. Sunny day, fresh air (we needed it after the poop problems) and lots to see and do.
Wednesday we look some time to relax and swim and headed to the Old Town area of Marbella. Which is something we read about but had not yet seen and it is close to where we are staying. Very intereresting place….we parked jumped out of the car and excitedly walked to the center of the activity. Old churchs, more road side coffee, shopping and a quick lunch in Marbella. Very fun. One problem: with all of the excitement of finding this area, the struggle with parking and anticipation of what we were to see and do….we totally had no clue where we parked in this city-maze of streets, and everything kind of starts looking the same, and of course reading signs has always been impossible. Here comes the sweat on my furrowed brow again. We literally roamed the streets, and in our minds trying to piece together clues as to where our car might be…. “I think I remember seeing that sign. Wasn´t that a shop we passed? Didn´t we park on a curve somewhere?” It was a 20 minute ever increasingly panic search…and finally Ben said: Hey there is a little silver car it could be ours. Same brand, same model, same wheels……..Thank god we found it.
Had our dinner in Puerto Banus and went back to the safety of our home away from home.
