October trip.🤣

Our passports were asked for going into Gib but the guy just glanced at them and handed them back. On exit the Spanish customs officer asked for passports, then asked if we were residents. Upon answering no, the passports were stamped and handed back. Took about 20/25 minutes of queueing to reach the Spanish customs.

For our last day my brother and his wife went to Arroyo shopping for presents and the boss and I went on to Yucas for a drink and light lunch.
We jumped on a bus back into Arroyo after lunch and eventually stopped in Luisa's bar in the gamonal area. We had a gin and waited on my brother and wife joining us.
We were undecided where to eat so had another drink when they joined us. The owner Luisa (or Lulu)and her partner were very friendly and the bar was lovely so we decided just to stay there for dinner.

There was a good selection on the menu including a 300g sirloin steak for €19.95 so three of us choose that.
Several other options were not available and they had to run to a nearby shop to buy sprite for our drinks plus she was a little over attentive so I got the impression that things were tight.
The food was a little disappointing and certainly not worth €19.95, especially my brother's steak which was half the size of the others and very thin. So typical of him he complained and the meal was changed for a Hunters chicken which kept him happy. We also received a free round of drinks with extra vino for brother and a nice shot to end the evening all on the house Things were a little bit awkward but to be fair to Luisa, she did try very hard to make amends.

She has been there since May and has spent a lot of money doing the bar up obviously putting in a lot of time and effort. There were only four other people in all evening so I'm sure she was glad to see us as our bill was over €100.
By the time we left my brother and her were best friends. We left her a €10 tip and everyone was happy.
To be honest apart from the steak being over priced ( or undersized ) it was a perfect evening so it certainly won't put me off going back next visit.
We got the last bus home and had an early night.
The taxi arrived at 08.10am and off we went. We had to wait for 20 minutes before we were allowed to join the queue for bag drop. That took around 20 mins then another 15 at security. Waited 15 minutes on the gate being announced then straight to passport control. There were long queues but they kept moving and we were through in around 20 mins. Then straight on the plane.
Chinese and a nice cup of tea this evening and back to work in the morning.😭😭😭.
We had a busy fortnight but only because we wanted to show my brother and his wife as much as possible. We have booked again
for February which will be at a much slower pace 🤣 although there'll be a few jobs to do around the apartment.😭😭😭

Robert nice to read your transit through Malaga airport was quick, have seen some very long queues shown on F.B and waits of more than 2hrs  think maybe its down to luck, if loads of flights in or out at same time and no extra staff on desks its going to happen! 

Hopefully we all get our next planned holidays and Covid cases slow down, its a bit worrying at the moment ! we are trying to book our booster jabs, but no luck so far our G.P service keeps telling us "we will contact you" so just waiting..

Robert have you checked your Feb flight to see how many passengers are on board, on ours only 6 so far, so not sure if the flight will go ahead or Jet2 will do extra pickup elsewhere?  x
