JANUARY
Hello this is Dingo and Guy and we are on holiday in Nerja- Spain! Pat and Colin have been here many times and this time we have been lucky enough to come with them. This is us visiting the town which is great because we can go into all the bars and restaurants that Colin likes to visit and everyone is very friendly, the beaches are the best though and the weather and the water is lovely even in January. We will all be home soon to get back to training classes, see you then! Adios
