Victory surprise

Post by dayzofspeed »

On my recent trip to Spain I was sat relaxing in the sunshine having a refreshment break in Plaza de las flores in Estepona when my roving eye spotted something through an open door to the tourist office this glimpse intrigued me enough to get up and go take a looksee and this is what I found...

Not the best picture I'm afraid as I only had the wifes mobile for a camera but a very well done and beautifully finished HMS Victory complete with crewmen on the deck and in the rigging. Not sure of the scale but the housing is as tall as a man. I was very surprised and very impressed. I could find no link online between Victory and Estepona but obviously Trafalgar was nr Cadiz and Cadiz is not a million miles from Estepona so who knows!
I stared a century thinking this will never change
As I hesitated, time rushed onwards without me
Too scared to break the spell, too small to take a fall
But the absolute luck is, love is in our hearts!
