Day 3 down at the market and up the Mountain

Sorry for the delay in getting the next post up, we have been very busy travelling around and doing things, so this is the first chance we have had to update you on whats been happening.

Day 3 Began with students going to the Spanish school, here are some snaps of them taking a rare break from the full on, no holds barred Spanish action to check the Spanish trip blog .

In this picture a student stops to ask me if I get paid extra for blogging our adventures, on discovering that I do it all for free, she and the other students all agree that I truly am the kindest man alive.

Here a Young shaver turns to tell me how 'wizard' the blog is.




While some students choose to stare at photos of themselves on computers others use the free time to hone their Ping pong prowess, here is Karl. Karl has a fever, and the only pescription is more Pingpong.



Have that sir!





Due to genius design, the ping pong table is next to a wall over which is a massive drop down to the private car park of a medical center. With out a word of a lie I truly love walking all the way around to get the ball back when its been hit over for the 3rd time in 15 minutes with only a small face peering from the bushes shouting it 'went over there sir' as a guide. Nobody ever said ping pong didnt have victims.

Student's sit and discuss how many times 'he will keep getting it back, before he cracks'

Schools out and we head towards the market, Here we see students charging on mass as a whisper has gone around that rola cola is half price.

Here we see the market, to the right we see students descend like a grandma on a plate of sausage rolls at a wedding buffet.

After a hard day´s tat hunting students sit on a wall and reflect just how they are going to fit the hundred weight of bracelets and sweets into their suitcases.

After the market we head over to the cable car station.

Here Lewis does his best terrified of heights impression, a career in acting surely beckons for this young man.

the view from the cable car as it rises over the streets of Benalmedena.

After a few minutes we arrive safely at the top, Lewis kisses the ground and vows to never leave it again.

Here are some views from the top of the mountain.

However for the hardy souls from NK only the summit will do.

The race to the top begins, rola cola powered students hurtle up the steps, ´death or glory´ they chant.

And here we see students at the top, for them the climb was easy, a constant supply of strawberry shoelaces, cola bottles and gummi bears mean the sugar rush never ends.

A freak gust of wind carries our last packet of wine gums over the edge.

Students wander round aimlessly as Haribo withdrawal hits in.

A student mentions how in the right light I look like a giant gummi bear, I back away slowly as things start to take a menacing twist.

Only through claiming that a student has been hording mini gems do I make it out alive.

Who´s this handsome fellow?. who ever he is, he cuts a dashing figure 50% brad pitt 25% Johnny Depp 20% Marlon Brando 5% Les Dawson.

A student remembers leaving an un opened packet of toffo´s at the hotel, students and staff alike pile down the mountain.

After a long day of mountain climbing students relax and let off steam by pretending to be conjoined triplets, a good time was had by all.

Here we have Dani and here is here review of what we have been up to recently.

By public demand here are some students who are here to talk about their day.

Bargain Hunt Spain!
