Hi All,
Just to let you know I'm back from: A quiet, relaxing resort, in idylic surroundings with access to fine restaurants, scenic views and warm welcomes
What a misrepresentation
Here is our version: A noisy hell hole, construction starts at 8.00am every morning and goes on 'till 6.30pm, food prepared with the culinary expertise of the same navvy chef who just finished in the site canteen, look through the tower cranes for a view of the next site, as long as your wallet is open you will receive a lukewarm welcome, It'll be lovely when it's finished
Everywhere you went you met an extension of Rip off Britain, it cost about the same for a pint of Spanish beer as it does over here for a decent pint, which just about goes for anything, the locals come from the UK, and as one ex-pat explained when I enquired about the local Comet store: "Nothing is genuine on this island, except the prices". Even the Comet electrical store was a copy even down to the store signs and slogans. Apparently, if they are caught out they just change it to something else like Curry's and so on. And if I ever see another Lucky Lucky, Asda price Del Boy man, well even his mother would have a job recognising him
. Want a time share??
Apart from that little grumble, the weather was fine
I didn't get any fishing done but saw some Mullet aroungd the 10-12lb mark !
Got to go for the time being and check my e-mails, read the other post, etc
