With the weather like it is in Hull today, who cares?

(Thinks) Oh - maybe you're in East Hull. Never mind...
I hope you are joking. Wrong side of the river (Just) maybe, but Black & White through and through ;D

Whats happened to the webcam? It's got stuck on yesterday showing a rough sea and no sunbeds.
Why can't it get stuck with the sea as a millpond and a wide beach again!!
I'm missing my daily fix.

« on: July 01, 2009, 09:04:51 PM »
We have just heard that our flights has been cancelled for the 17th August-31st August.
They have offered us other flights on the same days.
The outcome being that we will lose 8hrs on the arrival day and 10 hrs on our departure day.

We enquired about flights that were not far of our orignal times but were told that we would get a £250 cancellation charge.
After many heated phone conversations/emails  I am sad to say we got nowhere and have accepted the new times offered.
So for the 17th August cancel lunch, swim in the sea and walk along the beach as we wont be in San Stef till 9.30ish in the evening rather than lunchtime.
As for the 31st not much time for anything as flight goes at 11.30am, cancell, beach,swim, walk and food and drinks with Glenn. :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
Which actual airline were you flying with Sue? Did they offer a refund so you could make alternative arrangements? >:(
Sounds like RobbinAir - same sort of customer service - - -none!!!
Do RobbinAir charge you when they cancel the flight? :D

on a tv they told people to take vit b1 three times a day to stop mozzies
There were lots of mozzies around while we were there a couple of weeks back and also lots of people with really nasty looking bites on there arms and legs. I only got bitten twice in two weeks which was pretty good, 1 on the leg above where i'd sprayed and one on my forehead on the last night waiting for the coach.We thought we would walk down to the beach for one last sunset (Hadn't sprayed).It wasn't the best idea i've ever had as it looked like i'd been hit with a golf ball!!.Luckily it went down before we got to the airport.
We always use CK One (The his & hers perfumey/cologney thing). We found out years ago that the mozzies seem to hate it. It also saves taking perfume/aftershave/mozzie spray seperates and smells good as well. O.K so people can smell me from the other end of the street when it first gets sprayed on  but I like to think i'm sending a message out to the little buzzers :D.
The only rubbishy bit is it's a bit pricey and the immotation stuff you can get cheap abroad doesn't work.The mozzies seem to be able to tell the difference.

The first week we was there we used it 3 times with no problem. The 2nd week it didn't work at all. I was told that the one in Arillas (at the T-Junction) is nearly always working and filled up more frequently. We used this one for the 2nd week. There is also one at the pharmacy in Avilotes (Spelling!!) but apparently this only works when the pharmacy is open (Not in the afternoon).

God I wish I was back!!! :(
Yes - we hate that feeling as well - but I have 2 days off now and we have puppies at home - just one left to sell now,
and fingers crossed that will be tonight!! They keep us busy!
I am also running around getting the holiday stuff together for next week -
Remember the meals in the White Hart Pub?!
Oh yes the White Hart's good or sunday lunch at The Pheasant is just unbeatable :D
Rick is still around there!! Another good place is the Plough near the King Willy!
I heard a rumour last time i was down that The Crown in Sipson is being turned in to another Indian restaurant, just what you need!! :D

« on: June 17, 2009, 08:45:10 PM »
There are mountain bikes to hire from just about everywhere (I think they were 4 euro a day at the mo)
We had a quad bike from Spiros. All I can say is superb. It was just as new (Now has lots of miles on the clock!!!! :D) Definately safer than a scooter. Only problem was as much as I tried to miss the potholes the bike just got drawn towards them, especially after the missus complained about the numb backside!! :D

The frogs are on form, I keep looking for Paul McCartney every time I cross the bridge!!! :D
There is snake that sits in the middle of them all during the day (Only small) but when it grows up maybe no more frogs!!!!!

« on: June 17, 2009, 08:30:57 PM »
The reps seem to be O.K but your right about not knowing anything. We didn't attend the welcome meeting as we didn't know when it was. A bit strange but we got the coach from the airport with no rep or welcome pamphlet thing you usually get. We met her later in the day and as she said they have to give the trip speech but everybody that had gone in the morning had been before so they don't generally sell anything.
I think we have bumped in to the reps every night in a bar or restaurant somewhere and they always say hello and have a chat. I think it is more the peace of mind that they give just in case something major happens.
