Japanese meals in Spain

I went to Malaga, Spain with my husband last weekend.
We chose a hotel that Japanese person is managing. So we could sleep in the "futon" on the tatami. And we could take a Japanese style bath.
We had a relax time in this hotel.

Mainly of our purpose we chose that hotel is to eat the Japanese meals.
We could eat the dinner next a small Japanese style garden. 
 This was a spanish beer but I don't remember the name. The taste was good. It was like a Japanese one.  
 I didn't eat the vinegared food for a long time. So nice.
 From left, fried the codfish with Japanese apricot and macrophyll, boild soybeans, yakitori with yuzukosho.
 Sushi ~♪
 Tempura and roasted porgy with miso.
 Dorayaki and icecream(*^_^*)


This picture is a breakfast. I forgot to take a picture before I start to eat so the fish to be thin...

We went to Ronda and have a lunch.
 We ordered a dish have several tapas and a paella.
 Paella is not same image as I expected. But everything was tasty.
 We ate the lunch at the open space like this.

These pictures are second day's dinner.
The fish sausages and the broccoli , roasted chicken with soy soace and seaweed.
 Chawanmushi ~♪
 The vinegared rice with egg, pieces of raw fish, vegetables arranged on top.
And Tempure and Iberian pig.

Here was a lobby and pool side.
 We had a second breakfast at the pool side. I want to eat like this meal everyday..

I forget to take a picture our lunch. I ate "Katsudon" and my husband ate "Unadon".

And I asked the hotel's staff where can we eat Flan = like Japanese style pudding.
They said Natija (I am not sure the spelling) is delicious so they will make it for us.
The Natija is a custard cream with biscuit.  Good dessert. But I wanted to eat Flan too(#^-^#)

Flybe

That was the first time we got on the Flybe's flight for traveling to Malaga.
We heard the Flybe's airplane have the propellers and swing sometimes. But our airplane had not them. That was a jet airplane so very comfortable fright for us(^~^)
 The seats was a little wider than the other airplane's economy class's one.
 Like this.
There is a 5 months baby, a boy with mum in front of our seats, and 6 months baby, a girl in the back our seats. The boy was crying sometimes however the girl was smiling anytime. 
I thought girl, lady, women is strong from the baby. (*^_^*)

London

I went to London several times but I had not done sightseeing until then.
My friend gave me a chance to do sightseeing. We saw a lot of famous places.   
 (*^_^*) A performer made a posture. That was nice !
I saw the ceremony of the royal wedding on TV. There were so many people in front of the gate.
We went there before the ceremony so I understood where the royal family in or through, pass the place.
 We had an afternoon tea for every lunch during we stayed together.
A man who is in a garden in front of a palace was feeding to the squirrel directly.
He can gather up them by calling them. He is amazing.
That was really nice trip with my friend.  See you next year.

We got lost ... again !!!

We stayed the Swan Hotel in Bibury with my friend in February. We wanted to walk around in this area so we got a map in the hotel and started to walk.  
We asked the right way to an old man at first. And then we kept going to walk to believe our flair.
We already walked around one hour.
However we couldn't find the sign or road that the map said.
We found several cars to pass us... We thought they are busy because the speed was very fast.. But I could see a car driver watched us so I decided to got my hands up and I asked them to help us.
The man and the woman read their map, and then they picked we up and carry to the right point  on the map. They were very kindness♪
And then we kept going the way...
We could get the sign. 
Almost of the view is in a state of nature.
And then we enter the way in the field...
We met a man with a dog so we asked the correct way to him. We lacked confidence in our flair...
"Is this right way?" anytime we asked to ourself. There were two ways but one of them were all wet.
The view was so nice. Nobody in there, just I and my friend.
We worried about our shoes... Our height was a little bit higher than usual due to mud.

When we tried to take off the mud from our shoes, we met a lady who ride a horse. She was cool.
And then we kept going the way... not way... just field...

At least we found the road. It was long long walk.
I thought the map is lacking in detail for Japanese.
And I want to go there in summer if I have another chance. The view must be better than this picture.

I felt so happy to get many people's kindness. Thanks a lot (^-^)ノ~~

we got lost at the Cotswold way

There were many "foot pass" in UK and we can through easily walk these "foot pass" anytime.
When I visited the Cotswold with my friend, we tried to walk on a "foot pass" = " Cotswold way" with  a map. 
I visited here in February.
However, "foot pass" foot passes are is not only paved roads but also just field trails like one shown in this picture.
Before we set foot on the trail, We we thought it was awesome !!! before we walked on the field.
It was a rainy day so the field was squidgy.
We just kept going the on walking on our way on following the map and recording with our video camera.
The view was very nice from the top of the hill.
But ... the way was very scared scary because of the marshy soil ... the way is not flat hilly and marshy so it was so hard to take each steps. We couldn't take a picture or video at that time.
After we got through the terrible way, we could see saw a rainbow.
And then it was getting dark and the rain began got a little heavier.
And then... we got lost the our way... we couldn't find the sign that says ,"foot pass" or "Cotswold way". 
We said to each other "where is here?""which way should we go?"  
We couldn't find a person anyone...  Reluctantly we went back to the same terrible way(ーー;)
