Granada

Bekie and I caught a bus to Granada on Tuesday to visit Saira with whom I used to work. Saira is currently working in a hostel named Maktub which is based in the Morrocan quarter next to Plaza Nueva and the Alhambra. We spent all afternoon chatting in the hostel's lounge area and watching Saira making her water melon punch and trying to speak some Spanish. We also met Jose, Authur, Dillon and Francois -all really nice guys. The temperature outside was 40 degrees centigrade so everybody who could do found some sort of shade.

Saira was in good form and seemed to be thoroughly enjoying her time in Granada. We parted to travel back to Nerja on Wednesday lunchtime. The bus station is about 3km from the centre of town and Bekie and I walked it briskly in the heat only to find an enormous queue for tickets. We consequently missed our 1Pm bus and had to wait for the 4pm bus. However we consoled ourselves by stuffing our faces in Burger King. Smashing.
