How To Be A Better Tourist

too many hobbles

I think I really overdid things this past week. I mean, I try to get out for a hobble each day, as well as doing my chair workouts five times a week. But between Málaga-Marbella and Jerez I worry that I may have actually done some extra damage to The Knee. Because now it seriously hurts (even more) like fuck. Today I wanted to go to the market and gave up half-way there. The thing was, once out and about you just kind of have to keep going. Especially if you are in the centre of pedestrianised Málaga (no taxis!) or when your lunch location in Benalmádena ends up being at the bottom of a very steep foot path (ouch!).

But I persevered then took a couple of days off before heading to Jerez. I don’t know if that was a mistake or not, or if all of it was wrong to do, but dammit I’m so tired of not being able to do things. And with NOBODY helping me with info about what I should or should not be doing (other than go to the pool, ride a bike, lose weight). Not one doctor has told to either keep walking or stop walking. And so I keep on, not exactly walking, but hobbling on my trusty crutches. Clocked over 15,000 hobbles in Málaga and another 12,000 in Jerez. And each one hurt so much. I just want my life back.

packing frenzy

Malaga, spain, travel, trips

I don’t know if my present state of packing frenzy means I need to travel more often or that I should never travel again. And yes I KNOW it’s only for two nights (well, maybe three) but this hasn’t stopped me from rethinking everything constantly since a few days ago. First of all, I don’t travel light. I mean, I’ll bring a small suitcase but it’ll be packed as full as it can be. The other thing is that the train leaves at 8.00 am tomorrow, which means getting up at stupid o’clock after, of course, having barely slept. Anyhow… I have to go now and finish packing. Next stop… Málaga!
