In Santa Ponsa? Beware of the infestation of green and white hoops crawling about the place. I kid you not, I saw the same grown man on three occasions sporting full Celtic kit - top, shorts and socks - and each time it was a different kit. I spent most of my days in Palma Nova to avoid them. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor FinnBarr Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 (edited) Tenerife was a week in June for me and the Mrs, 20th wedding anniversary so we thought we'd do something different, a cottage with a pool and hot tub up the hills in San Miguel. Then Tenerife with the daughter at the start of October, best book PDLA I suppose because she'll want more than sitting in a hot tub watching the stars.

Jambo-Jimbo Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 11 hours ago, Morgan said: Cool trip Jimbo Always wanted to go to Rhodes, Athens & especially Pompeii and Santorini, all for the history and this cruise Itinerary ticked all of those boxes. 8 hours ago, Ulysses said: Have taken out the full drinks package on board and only this week got another offer from Royal Caribbean, in which the full drinks package was £60 cheaper than the reduced offer which I had previously bought. Needless to say I cancelled the package I had and bought a new one at the lower price, £60 is better in my pocket. Works out that if me & the wife have 3 alcoholic drinks each per day we'll break even, don't think that's going to be a problem. Of course it's only polite to sample the local beer on each of the Islands as well, to not do so would be disrespectful, would it not?

Did Venice last June (4 Nights), excellent, you'll love it. If you've not been before, there is one tip I'll give you, and that is book your attraction tickets online before you go, especially if you are going up the bell tower and or a guided tour of St. Mark's Basilica, as the queues can get very long. We used Venetoinside website, excellent, couldn't fault them, and on both occasions we were escorted to a different entrance away from all the queues.

Pans Jambo Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 (edited) Been away for a week in Gran Canaria already. Winter was just too long for me so I had to go & get some sun on my chops. Doing some home refurb this year so its a 'staycation' for me. If (IF) the weather is OK I might do some of the NC500 up the North West of Scotland. Love it up there if the weather is good.

Ha! We're going back there on the 4th July for a week. Went 2 years ago. Had a great time. The pirate invasion was fun and my kids thought it was a great laugh when daddy had to walk the plank. Hope you have a good time. Oh, and that part of Santa Ponsa is actually more German than Scots. Edited May 14, 2018 by Normthebarman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norm Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Watch out for the crabs on the road at, I think, the east end of the island (could be west, can't remember exactly).
