With schools closed and classes cancelled for a local holiday that no one could seem to explain to me, we decided to head over to Ronda to meet up with friends. Like traveling pros, we packed up and headed out in under an hour.
When we arrived in Ronda John left to meet his friend while Zoe and I went to explore a bit. Ronda is a beautiful city located high up on a cliff with amazing views of the mountains and valley below. Zoe quickly fell asleep in the stroller and it started to rain so I stopped for lunch at a nice restaurant. Halfway through my glass of wine the food arrived and Zoe woke up. It was then that I noticed that her special lovey "Baboo" the bunny was gone. I panicked and quickly asked for the check. Since apparently I chose the only restaurant in the world that does not have any boxes for leftovers my food was left behind totally untouched while I ran around in the rain searching for our VIR (very important rabbit). Having retraced my steps twice we finally headed back to the hotel and I attempted to soothe Zoe about Baboo with cookies and tv. When John came home I set out again on my own as a last ditch effort before giving up. I must have looked like a crazy person wandering around in the rain totally soaked asking everyone I passed if they had seen a stuffed rabbit. Naturally, right before I was about to turn around and head home I saw him tucked away in a corner out of the rain. Needless to say, we all felt very relieved to have him home. I suppose loss is a lesson that every person has to learn at some point in life but I'm glad we managed to avoid that particular lesson for Zoe.... for now at least.
We were happy to have Baboo back with us the weather was miserable the next day so instead of visiting Gibraltar we headed home early and visited the spa by our house. While we had a bit of a rough start, in the end the weekend was a success after all.
