Maggy’s Blog

Hi, my name is Maggy. I’m from Australia, but I work in a tourist hotel in Marbella, in Spain.
I work very hard, but I’m very happy with my job. It’s a good life here- and the weather is fantastic!

 

Why do I blog?

I blog for my family and friends back home in Australia. I usually blog about my life,
my job and my problems with the language.
My Spanish isn’t very good because I speak English to tourists all the time, so I make a lot of mistakes.

 

A typical week

My job title at the hotel is Customer Service Assistant and I do a lot of different things every day.
I love my job because every day is interesting. On Tuesdays and Fridays,
I get up at six o’clock and start work at seven. On those days I look after the children in the hotel.
We play games, we sing, we dance and we do sports.
We never watch TV because we’re always outside in the sun.
I finish work at three o’clock and then I go to the beach and relax.
After that I sometimes go shopping with friends from the hotel.

On Wednesdays and Thursdays I get up late, at 10 o’clock,
and I work in the hotel restaurant from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. It’s very hard work,
but it’s only for two days.

On Saturdays I get up at four in the morning and start work at five.
I go to the airport to say goodbye to the tourists, then I pick up new tourists and take them to the hotel.
It’s always an exciting and busy day! I finish work at about four o’clock in the afternoon.
On Sundays and Mondays I don’t work. On Sundays I usually go for a walk in the mountains with my friends.
The mountains are really beautiful and the air is clean and cool. I love it.
And on Mondays I usually stay in bed and sleep until lunchtime. It’s fantastic!
