Hey!
Its the weekend! You literally made it through the week - well done :D. After writing my part 1 and part 2 posts on my holiday to Malaga with my friends I realised there are some tips I discovered to be safe abroad for the first time with your friends.
1. Go with friends that you know will look after you in a situation of need:
-I was super ill on holiday and ended up in hospital... if a situation like this occurs (it could happen to anyone) then make sure you go with at least one person who you know will be there for you, and wont be mean or ignore you if you need their help!
2. Be wary on the nights out on the strip:
-If there is one thing I had learnt is that some of the men in Spain can be a little weird, just need to be cautious when out. We got in a few situations where we were followed for the night, or where men would walk over and wouldn't leave you alone, even with the simple act of catching their eye (simply looking around the club) they had a reason to come over. Stay cautious, if they creep you out, say no and walk away with your friends... never alone. Never go anywhere in a place you don't know alone. Tell your friends if you feel uncomfortable and then find a new nightclub. However do not let it ruin your night :)! At the end of the day you're there to have fun!
3. Stay hydrated and make sure you eat:
-The temperate is likely to be a lot hotter than you imagine, so being hydrated is key to staying healthy and feeling less tired. Also if you are out on the strip and drinking a lot of alcohol the simple fact of eating and drinking water will help you recover and make you feel better after a fab night out! (You are then simply ready and healthy for the next night out... well as healthy as you can be on holiday!). Its crazy how drained you can feel if you don't eat for drink properly in hot temperatures.
Of course there are many other tips when going on holiday... making sure you wear sun cream, Make sure you have a safe to lock away important documents and money etc, make sure you have everyone's number, stay out of extremely hot weather if you feel ill, get at least some sleep etc etc.
Thank you so much for reading, and if you are going on any holiday at all I hope you enjoy it! Are there any other tips that you have?

Malaga Part 2!
Hey,
This will now be the second part of my trip to Mlaga with my friends. To check out the first few days of my holiday go ahead and read my previous post to understand and be up to date :).
Day 3 = Monday 6th July.
This was was a bag of mixed emotions! The day started of with me feeling incredibly sick and dizzy which I had to sleep off until midday. I simply thought it was heat exhaustion so I stayed out of the sun while the other sunbathed. Without knowing the temperate reached up to 40 degrees that day... so so so hot, at times it was lovely... however at others it was unbearable It then came to 1:20pm... the time for the activity of the day... parasailing... I was absolutely petrified! If you ever go to Fuengirola go and check out Pirate Parasialing in the Port, they are so friendly and welcoming and the overall experience was brilliant... a must do experience! Because i was so ill they took us out on our own so I only had to fear a boat ride for 15 minutes,,, they also gave me a sickness tablet to help with the sea sickness. After that we then went back to the beach where we slept some more and relaxed before going to get changed and eat. Monday night I was really ill again so unfortunately I couldn't go out for the night so I ended up sleeping for 14 hours :( while the others went off to the nightclubs.
Day 4 = Tuesday 7th July
I woke up feeling worse for wear and pretty crap. Apart from venturing out early to see the sunrise nothing else really happened...so it was another beach day where we relaxed and slept some more and went in and out of the sea and just overall didn't do much... simply that was our holiday, doing nothing to relax... just what I needed! I then fell even worse so I went back to to the hotel and had a shower and got ready for tea where I ate another pizza while the others had an Indian. We then packed while the others were getting ready for the night out as I was feeling too ill. The early hours of the next morning went incredibly down hill...
Day 5 - Wednesday 8th July
Its early hours of the morning where it all went wrong, I was so ill I couldn't walk, sit or lie down so I literally led on the floor in the dark while my friends called a doctor. The doctor then examined me... he told me I didn't need to worry but I needed to go to hospital...No! So an ambulance was called and 2 paramedics came to collect me and took me to the ambulance where one of my friends joined me. They took my blood and blood pressure and then it was a scary and long ride to the hospital. Once there I got checked in and then sat in the wheelchair until being seen by a doctor where he did some more tests and told me I had vertigo (BPPV).. Which makes one feel dizzy and unbalanced due to something happening in the inner ear, I honestly had to hold fully onto a doctor or paramedic to literally walk me anywhere... thankfully there were wheelchairs! I then had to leave my friend (scared) to be hooked up to some medication which would stop me feeling sick and reduce feeling dizzy. 5 different medications and half an hour later I was happy as larry and free to go! They put me on medication for the next three days and to be honest I haven't felt right since! This had to happen on the last day where I had to fly later that night... thankfully I was discharged with nothing too serious otherwise I would have been stranded!
By the time I got back to the hotel it was 3am so it was time to sleep! A few hours later I woke up feeling a little worse for wear and got some breakfast. We all then went for a walk up and down the beach... but it was simply way too hot so we stayed in the hotel for the rest of the day :( We had to check out at 11 so there was no set room for us... the hotel lobby it was! After getting fresh and clean with a wash we caught the transfer to the hotel at 7-15pm to catch out flight to home, Everything went smoothly on the way home... safe flight and medication stopped me feeling sick. That day was very stressful but my friends helped me get through it!
Thankyou so much for reading this little part one and part 2 of my trip to Malaga,,, were already planning our next trip away for next summer... exciting (hopefully everyone can make it next year)!! The holiday was an amazing experience and if you can go, do it, you wont regret it, I got to go with 2 amazing friends and loved it, just have to step out of your comfort zone! I will see you soon with another post!

Malaga Part 1!
Hey!
Its a new week and a new chapter begins.I got to go on a holiday with 2 of my closest friends, and wow... okay, let me say I had the time of my life! We flew out on Friday afternoon and arrived in Fuengirola (Malaga - Spain) Friday night so we simply got to know our bearings and where we were that night and went for something to eat (simply something form the super market because we were so tired)
Day 1 = Saturday 4th July
The first day were here it was slightly cloudy and rained the smallest amount, but the beach was still the place to be! We sunbathed all day (when the sun was out, and trust me when it was out, it was hot.) We stayed at the beach until about 5pm, where we then went back and showered, relaxed and got ready for something to eat and half past 9. We ate at a Italian/Mexican/Indian place which did amazing beautiful pizza's! We then took a relaxing walk back to the hotel where we got all dressed up and got ready for the night ahead in Fuengirola Strip! at 1am we headed out to the nightclub's and bars and literally partied the night away until 7am where we landed back in the hotel to sleep the late night off. The alcohol ratio abroad is ridiculous! there is more alcohol than coke haha! Although that does mean less money spent...! We spent the night in a bar called OXID and then moved onto a nightclub called London Underground... which literally resembled a night out in the UK but much much... much louder! Apart from being sick from drinking too quickly (do not recommend) and the anxiety of being in an enclosed place I had a blast! Do not regret anything. One wary thing is that there are some very strange men around so the importance of sticking together is key!
Day 2 = Sunday 5th July
After the night out we literally slept for 3 hours and we were up at 11am ready for the beach! The sky was so much clearer, the sun was out and there was blue skies... time to start tanning! The temperature on this day probably hit around mid 30's... something the UK never quite reaches to so I was super happy! For most of the day we sunbathed, went into the sea and relaxed and recovered after the night out. I'm pretty sure I slept for a sold 4 hours on the sun lounger... without getting burnt... miracle! For lunch we went back to the pizza place however we got a take away pizza so we could enjoy the sun on the beach while tucking into a delicious pizza! We stayed on the beach until 7pm where we decided it was time to shower and get ready for tea where we ate around 9pm. That night we managed to get free Sangria with our meal at a different italian place... win! We then walked along the beach home and admired the place we were in... That day was so much more relaxed and peaceful, just what we needed to unwind and enjoy the weather! We took some night time beach photos and then went back to the hotel around midnight to sleep and be prepared for the next day ahead of us...
This is the first part my trip to Malaga, otherwise one post would be pages long haha! Plus I think it is nice to split up the holiday into little segments.There is still so much that happened on the holiday with my friends and I cannot wait to share that experience with you. So on that note thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed it!
