today we went to el chorro and the lakes at ardales, first we went to the lakes, tony drove which is great, although we're not used to going that fast in our old car.... had a walk around and a bite to eat, then we drove to el chorro walked first towards the famous bridge above, as i have said i know many times before.... the one where frank sinatra died in von ryans express.... the guard was there to stop anyone going over, as we used to of course...


now they have made a fence and an area leading up and above to get an even better view, and i suppose to draw people away from the tracks, i went up as far as they have made it so far, in the most inappropriate shoes, typical! below the view from up there, the river dry and silt filled to the right and the road we came along on the left...


as we came down we couldnt believe what someone had done.... if you have been up here or get to go, the walk up to where we were is rough to say the least, its for foot travellers only, and those in good shoes even better, there is no side to road and a big big drop down into the resovoir below...

well look... a silly person, have to be careful here.... had driven up and was doing a ten point turn to face back down, was getting out of the car and going to walk from there... unbeliveable!! had to take this photo... and only two seconds later a guard was driving up in a big vehicle to tell them to sort themselves out and get outta there!


well barry and his girl friend left saturday morning bright and early from malaga airport, and the sun was out! first time really in the whole week they were here, and been lovely again today, maybe bit of cloud during this week too for tony and steph...

after i got home yesterday morning we went to ronda, tony drove.... we went the inland way there, and came home via san pedro and then la cañada shopping centre... yes twice in one week for me!!!
