Tarifa pt4

Hello peeps!

Sorry this last post has taken a while, had a busy weekend and also managed to give myself some food poisoning. :/

However I am not one to bang on about the sad stuff, so here are some more sunny pics from Spain. This is the last installment.... so enjoy!



Winne's boyfriend (Jude) was flying into Gibraltar and we offered to give her a lift to the airport so we could surprise him. This was our car for the holiday.



I preferred the back view to this car, it was a nice drive but a little sluggish uphill.



Talking of cars, once we found the airport (why is it hidden?) we parked up and saw this beauty. It had MANY layer of dust and many penises drawn on it.



"Welcome to the Rock......of Gibraltar"
Oh, and to get there you have to walk across an active runway! Aghhhhhhh!



Thats a big claim!
As I side note, we found Gibraltar to be a VERY strange place. It was like going to 'England Town' at Disney or something.



Enjoying some sun on our last day on Winne's roof.



On our last day the sun was out in full force, I was in it for about 15min and went pink. :/



Fee got a few more freckles but she does enjoy the sun.



Hippy three eyed cat.



There was a Carnival that day and all the kids were dressed up for a parade though town. Seemed like this little fairy was partied out.




Of coarse we got in the party mood in the everning and got dressed up. I went as a cowboy and ray went as.... well.....as Ray-mona.



The whole gang: L/R
Fee (Little Indian) Me (Cowboy) Ray (Ray-mona) Winnie (Hip-hop fairy) Jude (Sun God)



Before we headed out we had to play Ray and Winnies favorite game:
Tipping rain water out of the sofa on the roof terrace.



The whole town was out and in the party mood, we even bumped into a gang of singing Pinocchios.... they were rather good.



Cute little Devil Girl.




You know when you've been photobombed when....



Alas we could not stay for the whole party as we had a crappy Rynair flight back at 6am, so we had to leave in good time to drop the car off and get to the airport. All in all we had a great time and it was great to catch up with Winnie. It's crazy to think we were in Spain, Marocco and Gibraltar all with the space of a few days.

Tarifa pt1

Hello people of the internet! How have you been? I'm sure you have missed me as much as i've missed you. We are back from our trip too Tarifa and we had a great time, we had great food, some sun and got to travel around a fair bit.

So are you ready for some photo spam? because there are lots, so here we go!


This was the first shop we saw when we arrived at the airport.... sadly it did not sell the 'goods' we assumed it would.



This was the entrance to our little apartment, the WHOLE place was covered in shells and tiles, turned out a local artist also lived at the apartments and did it all himself.



Once we got sorted we went out for a walk with Winnie (our friend who we went to visit) and got to know the town. Not sure what Winnie is demonstrating here.... walking maybe?



A part of the Church can be spotted from Winnie's roof top.



Tarifa was not a big town but it had lots of cute and small winding roads, took a day or two to find our way around without getting lost but we got there in the end.



Tarifa is the most Southern point in Europe, so you see Africa on a clear day.... and there it is!



Some cool abandoned houses by the shore line.



...



The local Church in town was very beautiful.




Fee captured a nice shot of us while we were out and about.


We had grand plans of hitting the bars and clubs that are dotted around the town (its a hot spot for wind surfers) but after a 3 hour flight, a drive down the coast, walking around town and eating good feed we were DONE. My eyes were rolling around in my head so we had to call it a night but our first day was great. :)

Stay tuned for more soon!
