… and now I’m back. It was great to just chill & relax and having weather, food and some smack about other people as nearly the only topic of conversation for a little over a week. And now I’m hungry for some new exicting stuff to happen. But let my first hit you with some random thoughts about my vacation near Málaga, Spain:

• You can’t help but feel like kind of a big deal when you are droven to the hotel all by yourself in a 50-person coach.
• Grand Hotel probably only means Big Hotel.
• You can get more Louis Vuitton at the seafront than at a LV Store.
• On the way home I’m faster than the navigation system.
• Children are the real kings of Spain.
• If the 1,5 hours waiting for your show was better than your actual show, well…!
• I wouldn’t believe it, but yes, there’s one ocasion, when people in Spain are indeed quiet and even demand for it: When the matador stands in front of the bull pointing his sword towards him..
• If there is a slight chance the police is going after you, just run and have fun with it!

First off, the pics of the view from my room (Muchas Graçias to Daniel!!!).

I’m already apologizing, if I should keep it up to put ‘Buti’ in front of other words, because the neighborhood of our hotel was called Butbamba and it was so much fun to me to play with it. My three favorite creations: Butimama, Butiplaya, Buticar. It was really everywhere.

I also noticed some weird store names. Third place goes out to SUPER ALI. Second place is BABCHIC. And the winner is EROSKI!!! Wonder, what all the broskis are buying in that kind of supermarket.

And now my Instax pics!! Some you may expect from a summer holiday – others maybe not.

The first thing I saw at the hotel was this! These bad boy cats are everywhere right now.

This was on a wall at a store right around the corner.

In front of the Plaza de Toros in Málaga.

I liked that, because you can insert what you want.

There was a campfire every evening at the seafront.

This was some cool streetart in Fuengirola, the next bigger “city” or whatever.

I took this in Gibraltar, while having a great sandwich!! To me it also looks a little bit like the photo is painted.

I used to go for a run every other day and I always passed that backboard. But I didn’t notice it until the last time. NEW BOOM ACTION!

This right here was the reason for this vacation. I just wanted to go to the beach. I wouldn’t have cared, if that beach would have been in Greenland. Even better it was BUTIPLAYA!
There is also one pigeon on the pic, if you look closely, but there were a whole lot more!!!

It doesn’t look like it on the Instax pic, but the water was very clear!!!

I’m happy to be here again, especially after a super turbulent approach for landing!! I will have three more posts in the next few days of our trips to Marbella, Gibraltar & Málaga (including bullfight). But if you are curious enough, you can check out the pics on my flickr alreadyyy.

P.S.: Also worth noting is my bus ride from the aiport to home, where I was – again – all by myself & special shout outs to the bus driver, who dropped me off in front of my front door, on his way to the bus depot :)
