El Caminito del Rey

This item has been stolen from my dads bucket list, the man is crazy but considering he has not ever been abroad, I cant see him actually doing it, so ive decided to pinch it

Aparentlyg El Caminito del Rey can be translated into english as The Kings Pathway and was built in between 1901 - 1905 to aid workers cross between two falls located in malaga spain.

he walkway has now gone many years without maintenance, and is in a highly deteriorated and dangerous state. It is one meter (3 feet) in width, and is over 200 meters (700 feet) above the river. Nearly all of the path has no handrail. Some parts of the concrete walkway have completely collapsed and all that is remaining is the steel beam originally in place to hold it up and the wire that follows most the path. One can latch onto the wire to keep from falling. Many people have lost their lives on the walkway in recent years. After four people died in two accidents in 1999 and 2000, the local government closed the entrances; however, adventurous tourists still find their way into the walkway.

Speedboats and Harbours

I would really like to own a speedboat and a place overlooking a harbour or a loch

Im not a greedy person, so a little rib with a nice big engine on the back would do just fine.

I feel drawn to the water somehow, im not sure why. I can swim but not amazingly and Im not to keen in being under water.

But when it comes to being on the water, thats a different story
