Spain, New Year, 2000/2001
As a get away for Christmas and New Year 2000/2001 myself and a few friends were kindly (stupidly?) allowed the use of Al's parents Villa in Nerja in Spain (also where we stayed at either end of our trip to Morocco last year). Unfortunately I don't have many photos of my own as my camera has recently been stolen so here are a selection I have been sent by my friends. (copyright notice) |

Woody's Photo's
I perhaps haven't chosen the best selection of Woody's photos, but I have chosen the pictures that most remind me of the holiday. That, particularly New Year's Eve, means I've often not chosen the ones that might be the most photographically perfect. Here they are any way. |

This picture shows Woody and Colette
walking across a bridge that was part of a walkway in a region called El
Chorro (?). this was a good area for climbing, set in a massive gorge,
through which a train line had been built in the 1920's. A walkway was
built around the gorge sticking a few feet out of sheer cliffs, in places
100's of feet from the bottom of the gorge, so that the king (The Spanish
King, not Elvis) could inspect the tunnelling works for the train line.
Most of us walked for a little bit round some of the safer looking lower
sections (such as that pictured) but Al, Ewen and Paul set off with ropes
and slings and walked along it's entire rusting, crumbling length. Anyone
have anymore photos? |
New Year's Eve
Ah yes, New Years Eve. maybe these will fill a few gaps...
Skiing
One of the great things about Nerja is that it is feasibly possible to Spend the morning tanning yourself on the beach and the afternoon skiing in Sierra Nevada. We actually spent a few days in Granada and went skiing all day from there.
Well that was Woody's Photos. Has anyone else got any?
