We were awakened by Maurice serving us coffee in bed. Such lucury! We packed up and were ready to leave by 10:30. Quite a fog today. Thanked our host and hostess, they sure were wonderful to us. Back in London by 1 PM so we parked our car by the underground station and went to London. We got Spanish money at a bank and finally went to Madame Tousart’s – “The Wax Works!” Really enjoyed it!!
Picked up our car and went back to Joan’s – the clan arrived and Alan suggested we go out for a pint, so it was the Airline hotel – Diamond Lil’s. Then to bed in Carol’s room.

London airport – mild and cloudy.
Up and breakfasted. – Joanne, Carol, Tony and the children all stayed off the job or school and drove to the airport to see us off. Plane finally got airborne at 3:15 bound for Malaga. Uneventful except for my gallant husband. He whipped out his cigarette lighter (to light up a blonde sitting next to us) and it burst into flames! Burnt his hand, but not seriously but we did get some attention – I think some thought it was the start of a bombing.
Got a cab in Malaga and went to our hotel in Torremolinos – well, it is all breathtaking! Daylight till 715 here – so we could see everything. The hotel El Remo is so gorgeous. We have a three room suite complete with a modern kitchen and a washer, a 14 x 6 patio overlooking the Mediterranean. All furnished so beautifully in Spanish (what else) decor!
Went out to a shop for supplies and stayed in for a change, had supper, a drink, and into our twin beds. Air-conditioned rooms – guess you need them in summer.
