Family in Marbella, bowling, and pizza

Welcome to our half century! We are proud to bring you our Marbella lifestyle podcast Marbella with Him & Her episode 50. This week we walked from San Pedro de Alcantara to Puerto Banus in the glorious sunshine with visiting family, and headed straight to the Benabola Hotel Sky Bar for a drink as it really does have the best views across the marina. It was then off to the famous Picasso restaurant for Pizza and Pasta, where we were taken upstairs, which again has incredible views. We didn't even know the restaurant had an upstairs! The walk back home involved a stop at our former wedding venue Alabardero Beach for a drink. We also went 10-Pin bowling at Loa Arqueros Golf & Country Club with the family, which was a great choice as everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. It is €60 for a lane for up to six people, which actually isn't that bad. They have a café and bar there too so it is a really good place to go for something a little different. Hannah has had a bit of a media week being interviewed on Talk Radio Europe by her colleague Giles Brown about her upcoming India trip, which has now raised over £50,000. She was also interviewed by Tony Bryant from the Sur in English with a great article also online about her trip. The International Theatre Studio (not School, Hannah!) had a play reading in a new venue this week with a play called Entertaining Mr Sloane, a very funny and risqué comedy. We were joined at Hannah's Thursday quiz by Pointless Dave, our friend Beverley's father who was on the TV quiz show pointless where he got to the final. He brought his trophy with him with everyone wanting to give it a feel. Hannah was out with the girls from Talk Radio Europe where they did not end up in the Italian restaurant they booked as their table was given to another person with the same name that the reservation was in, so they went next door to another Italian restaurant! There was some unusual toppings and that led to the debate about pineapple on pizzas. It was also the monthly Urban Chai quiz night which was again full. Afterwards a group of us went back to The Hogan Stand to catch the last part of Pete Rothwell singing. Then for reasons we are still trying to fathom, we decided to head to Pub Charles until the early hours drinking with our Irish friends. Sunday we had the quiz winners lunch at The Hogan Stand where we all enjoyed an amazing Sunday roast. This weeks Sur in English articles include details of the investment into Tivoli World to get it re-opened, the new maze at Laberintus Park inland of Malaga which is the biggest in Spain, and the list of the best restaurants in Malaga, which included Bardal where we ate in Ronda, and Back Tapas in Marbella. Finally, with Hannah heading to India on Saturday 1st March, we are excited that our friend Mandy Urena (@mandyisallaboutmassage) in Miami will be filling in for Hannah. So we are going International for the next couple of weeks. We will also have some updates from Hannah from India! You can follow us on Instagram at @radiohannah and @pjlopez1marbella
