My intentions ARE GOOD

Like every year I made a long list of good intentions to start 2024 that I wanted to share with you. This time the list became so long I even had to put it in alphabetical order, which kept me busy all evening last night. A few minutes after midnight I realized it would be better to change it into a certain degree of importance. But then, just a few seconds before I was going to publish this piece of art, my vision became slightly blurred. Somehow i pressed the wrong key combination and lost the complete document. It must be the tea became too much for me.

But not all was lost, i luckily still remembered a few of them.

• Get ready for a new sexy beach season, don’t let my weight fall under 100kg.
• Build up my fitness by not overtraining my usual level.
• Work more, increasing it to 20 minutes a day a week.
• Be nicer to my lovely wife, even when she’s around.
• Never make a promise if you can’t keep it.

Olvera

I couldn’t find the stairway, otherwise I would have a quick look into heaven. Assuming I would get permission.

VIA verde de la sierra

Via Verdes are old railway lines that have been turned into bicycle and walking paths. We did this ‘de la Sierra’ one on our bike this afternoon. The first 36,5 km were mostly downhill, so guess how the way back was like. But it was definitely nice and also kind of weird to bike through some tunnels.

The fun part of this route is that everything was ready built, including stations. But the rails were never laid and no train has ever passed.

WHAT IS IT?

Took this photo yesterday. Do you need another hint? I’m not going to say olé …

Freedom

Yiehaaa, we left the catacombs of hell. Just after an half hour driving it already felt like heaven. I still can’t believe we stayed 4 days at a suncoast camping. How come we don’t like lots of interesting people, a busy motorway in front, loud music from the beachclubs and dogshit everywhere? Has it something to do with age?

Back to heaven. The A397 is the stairway to Ronda. We found a quiet nice little campsite within walking distance of the beautiful, old, busy and very touristy centre of Ronda. Of course we had to walk the long way to the city. But was certainly worth it.

merry christmas

Love and greetings from the Costa del Sol (tingelingeling; just for our dutch readers). I truly do not understand why people go here, but after seeing this sign it became all clear.

Turkish delight

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet it is. We got some of these confections based on a gel of starch and sugar from a little shop downtown in Granada. This little box full of sweetness is probably enough for weeks.

No, no hablo español

Yes, we are in the 45.8% country. And it’s true, we now know that from experience.
