Marbella-Marina Robertson - Jet Set Life

Marina: They’re not open. I’ll tell you what happened to us when we arrived here. It was
December 30 of last year and we have three kids so we live in Sweden, dinner is normally 5, 6
o’clock and by 4 o’clock our kids are getting hungry, we’re just settling down so we don’t
exactly have food in the fridge at home so we decided to get then in the car, go out and have a
mean. Guess what, even Mc Donald’s was close.
Rob: Oh my God (laughs)
Marina: I don’t believe it. We had to go to the supermarket, buy some bread and ham and
cheese and go home.
Rob: Unbelievable, and is it that way all year long or is it just seasoned?
Marina: No, but that’s exactly the season when you come here. If you come off season, late
autumn, winter, spring, it’ll be dead. You will not recognize this place. You’ll be walking in the
same streets as you walk in summer and you will not find people. You’ll have a couple of
drunken Brits stumbling around and singing hen’s parties songs and that would be it. It’s
horrible.
Rob: Now you just used the term I learned there too, a hen party. Can you tell me what a hen
party is?
Marina: (laughs) Ah it’s hard to describe. Basically when a girl decides to get married, she
thinks, she believes she deserves another crazy adventure before she actually commit to
someone. That’s my interpretation so…they book a hen party with one of the party organizers
down here and then they make absolute fools of themselves.
Rob: And they have the pictures to prove it.
