onward to Malaga

So the 13hr train ride was pretty cool. I crashed for the first 4hrs after Sant Joan the night before. But then i was awake and mostly read.

However the scenery was fantastic. So much variety in Spain. I went from rolling hills, to high desert to huge huge olive tree plantations, to a canyon that looked very much like the grand canyon with the train cutting huge tunnels through the mountains.

eventually I got to Malaga at 9pm and then bused it down to the resort. I met up with Elandri and Elise and everything is set for the next little while as I figure out my next move.

It sure is nice to stay in a private room with a real shower, real kitchen facilitites. Although i was definitely having fun with the hostel life, this is a most welcome change.

We´re just going to day trip it around this Costa del Sol area before renting a car and driving to Madrid.
