Day #4 of our Spanish adventure was my Dad’s 63rd birthday! Again we followed the lazy day + busy evening rule and had a chill-out day in the sun.  Dad funnily enough spent most of the middle of the day inside on the couch watching documentaries on telly! He doesn’t have SKY at home so having access to all these doco’s was the equivalent of a kid in a candy shop scenario for my Dad haha. He loves learning about how things are made, history etc etc so he spent most of his b’day drinking vodka, smoking cigars and alternating between doco’s inside and sunbathing on the deck!

While John and him were doing that Mum, Marcia and I went exploring down into the village to get some supplies… then Marcia took us up to the golf club on the way back and we somehow managed to get my Mum to not only drink some Spanish-heavy-measure vodka in the middle of the day (which is unheard of as she doesn’t drink!) but we actually got her tipsy! Such a laugh to deliver her back to Dad and tell him to have his way with her while he could haha.

Then in the early evening Mum, Dad, Marcia and I went to the lovely village of Mijas which is a proper Spanish village up in the mountains. John wasn’t interested so he just had some time on his own by the pool.  The view from up in the mountains was absolutely breathtaking and, even though I fell ass over kite while trying to take photos, it was fantastic!  We had a drink at this cafe that overlooked the entire coast and even got served by a proper Spanish waiter dude with such a gnarly moustache I just had to get a photo of Mum and Marcia with him!

Then I got a photo of Dad with a donkey as ever since he found out he was going to Spain he’s made these jokes about there being no cars and only donkeys haha.  So we wandered round Mijas for an hour or so and took in the views before having a couple drinks and watching the donkeys and horses being walked through the village to their stables.
