Espana Extravaganza - Part 3 - Malaga + Torremolinos

From Seville, we made our way to Malaga, a port city on the famous Costa del Sol coast...


To make our way to the coastal town of Torremolinos... where we were promised the sun and the beach....



However... unfortunately... the good weather in Seville was no where to be seen here... on our first night... it started to rain!!!




And the temperature dropped! See how we were all wrapped up in our jackets again... but rain or no rain, we are determined to make the most out of our holiday!


And the guys tried to convince themselves that it was not cold (although it was drizzling and windy) to challenge each other at frisbee by the beach...


And they were all determined to parade in their shorts and bermudas!!!



Given the weather... you can see that we were practically the only ones by the beach... boo hoo hooo.... :(

After the guys had enough of the beach... we strolled around in the town centre... this place is a beach resort... and there's lots of little shops for you to explore...



We also took the opportunity to return to Malaga to visit the city...


But in the end... we ended up spending most of our time in the shopping centre as the rain started pouring!!! What bad luck!!



In the shopping centre... the guys entertained themselves by challenging each other at the arcade... while Yan Ping and I went shopping instead! Shopping in Spain is always good... with Mango, Zara, and my new found brands of Stradivarius and Friday's Project! :)



We went back to Torremolinos to catch the Liverpool vs Arsenal Champions League semi-finals match at this Irish bar..




And when Liverpool won... the guys (Nav, KT and ZR) went absolutely crazy!!!




They got so drunk and entertained the staff at the bar which were all from the UK that they fell in love with them! Throughout the night, the bar staff were giving them free drinks and coming over to chat with them!!


I think they don't even remember what happened the next day! And they supposedly swore off alcohol....



The next day... the weather in the afternoon improved and we tried our luck at the beach again... at least this time, we weren't the only ones at the beach!!! hehehe...



I love how the waves come rushing to my feet... one of the many reasons why I love the beach... :)




Although the guys said they weren't going to touch alcohol.. they went back to the same Irish pub....


And the staff, especially the manager at the pub were so friendly that we had free shots the whole night... and when we ordered drinks... e.g. JD coke, the JD was 75% of the glass with only 25% coke!!!!


See... he's making his Irish flag shots for us... and it's all on the house!!!



Not only they drank with us... the manager even unlock the pool table for us and let us played for free!!!



They even invited us to stay and wait for them to close their pub so that they could bring us out for more drinks!!! What????



The guys drank so much that it's so funny... and they kept on ordering and ordering more drinks for them... up to a point that Mr Yeo was actually pouring away his beer secretly!!! hahahaha... :P


Sigh... on the day we were due to leave Torremolinos... the sun came out shinning brightly...




So, we couldn't resist and hung out at the beach until it was time to leave to make the most of the good weather...







Oh well... at least we tried!! :P
