While walking along the breakwater we watched the Fly Blue Ferry heading out and we asked ourselves, why are we not on that boat? The answer was simple, get on that boat. So we did. It is an easy half hour ride from Puerto Banus to Marbella and the ferry never got faster than 10 mph. Plenty fast enough for us. When we arrived at Marbella we walked to the Parc de la Constitution. It was an easy 10 minute walk and we had our picnic there. Marbella is more developed than Puerto Banus from a tall condo and developed waterfront point of view. Puerto Banus has the high end shops and the shopping mall. Our lunch was nice and I saw an odd bird. I was able to get a decent picture and it turns out that this is an Albino Blackbird. We strolled around and got ice cream for dessert. The ferry is not running on a full schedule. We could leave at 3:30 or we could stay for two more hours and leave at 5:30. We decided to enjoy the sun, get back on the ferry and a return to Puerto Banus
Sitting up on the top of the ferry waiting to disembark we watched all types of maintenance going on all the nearby boats. Soon we were off and cruising to Marbella.
