With a title like 2 studs it was a must read.

A very nice encounter with the captain - and yes I can imagine where the hands were (lol)

great TR

looking forward to the rest of the trip

Ah! Now I know! Thanks!

We grabbed a map from the girl on the reception podium and took a right as we left the hotel. It was great being out in the sun. We decided just to walk around and wander up the hill to see what we could find. There were some great views of the Alhambra at all points and we found a great wee bar to have some tapas and take in the views.

























Standard IG shot...







Some great tapas and very tasty beer.



We then wandered our way back down into the centre and stopped off at a few bars on the way. There were a few which were closing which seemed strange given that it was only around 5pm. Anyway, we found somewhere and moved the furniture into the sun and grabbed a drink.





I can levitate don't you know.....!?



















We stopped off at a bar close to the hotel for a drink. In the evening, we found a bar which was showing Eurovision and then grabbed some dinner in another local place which the barman of the first bar walked us to which was very nice of him ^

they are all of him. he likes to be the best looking one in pictures so when we travel together, the only way to achieve that is not to include pics of the two of us.

Was hoping to see a picture of the stud, sadly he must have missed the flight.
