After cleaning and breakfast service Hetty and her friend Renee and myself were going shopping for the day to a huge shopping centre near Marbella. Alan was supposed to drop us off near Renee's place as she was driving us there but there was another "water business" problem! the water authority keep coming and turning the hotels' water off as they say there is a leak (there isn't!) It's just so they can get more money out off you - they said Alan & Hetty will get an extra bill of about 10 thousand euro! So David dropped us off as Alan had to stay and "sort" them out! David said it feels funny with the gear stick on the wrong side!
Renne drives quite fast and it still took us over an hour to get to this shopping centre that has big sales on at the moment.
Arrived at La Canada shopping centre at 12 noon
We went in Habitat as Renee was looking for new outdoor furniture
I wanted a new pair of shoes - hundreds of them and came home with none!
There was even a M&S there!
Renee & Hetty outside a very interesting shop - it was a surf shop - huge plasma screens showing surfing in USA it was also very dark in there! Strange.
Loads of handbags
Renee got 2 pairs of shoes and in this shop she got a new watch and very nearly bought a pair of diamond earrings!
Hetty & I trying on more clothes! Getting fed up now as it was now 8pm!
We then had to get a few things in the supermarket - by now it was 9,30pm!
Driving back it started to get dark now so we decided to pull off the toll motorway and find somewhere to eat. Found a nice restaurant that Hetty had been to before (had past it so had to go a long way then turn around and come back to it!) only to find out that the Kichen had closed at 10pm (it was now 10.15pm!) so off we went again and found an Italian restaurant in Mijas Costa.
In the Italian restaurant in Mijas Costa - had our meal at 11pm!!!!!! We were soooo tied after shopping all day.
On the way home the fuel gauge started flashing but we were lucky to find a 24hr station open on the motorway. Headed up into the mountains and Renee dropped us off at 1.30am!!!!!!!!!!! Knackered!!!!!! but had a great day.
