Day 153                                                      19th December<\/p>\n

41 miles (Marbella to Malaga) Average speed 11.9 mph  Top speed 28 mph
\nI left Marbella at 10 and followed the beach path as far as it went, where I found a car showroom with an E-type Jag , took a picture and then went onwards on the main road.<\/p>\n

It was a beautiful day and an enjoyable ride. Stopped in Fuengirola at the London bar for a big fry up. A very English 24 hours, what with the curry too. I met a couple of Geordies and talked about my trip, also talked to the owner and had a look at all the footy shirts  hanging up.<\/p>\n

Then on to Malaga via Torremolinos which was better than the motorway. Arrived in Malaga after a quick stop at Decathlon and checked in at Feel hostel again. Went to the port and had a go on a bike that powered stair lights (Ermintrude: See explanation below picture)<\/strong><\/em> and saw quite a few different types of bike about town.<\/p>\n

The bikes are taking over the world!!<\/p><\/div>\n

(Ermintrude : The label on the bike says :<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Gracias por ayudarnos a dar luz a esta navidad.Te recordamos que estas bicis forman parte de una esculptura interactivaPor favor tratalas con respeto y delicadeza te agradecemos que no pedalees ni rapido ni fuere <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Which I translate as:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Later I stood and watched a ladies’ choir in Constitution Plaza and bumped into Anneli at Chinitas bar and had a chat.<\/p>\n
