Fiesta Palmyra Sant Antoni de Portmany

The day as finally arrived to begin our 6 month break, away from the damp, wet climate of Mid Wales. The plan is to drive from here to Portsmouth to catch the Pride of Bilbao ferry bound for Bilbao, a journey that takes about 36 hours. The only part to worry about is the crossing across the ...

We didn't have any plans for Cartagena. None of the excursions that HAL had planned sounded exciting and when we researched things to do in Cartagena, nothing looked appealing. So I went in search of plentiful cheap wine to stock up for the long ocean crossing to come (I hate paying the exorbitant prices for alcohol in bars and restaurants)&#8230; <br><br>So I found a supermercado in Cartagena with excellent prices and a good selection of wine. I ended up buying 9 ...

... no choice we planned to cycle 5 miles down the motorway to get to the next town (no other option mum, blame the Spanish for poor project management and wasting money on statues of imaginary people)<br><br>Highlights: <br>We asked someone watering there garden for water and she took us into her house and gave us threee unopened botttles of mineral water.<br><br>we made lemonade from liberated lemons and water.<br><br>Lowlights:<br>The lemonade tasted like ****<br>

... we had met and said our goodbyes. A sad moment but hopefully this was the beginning of many more cool moments. well, unfortunately they would not happen this day because shortly after we left i got a puncture, then we got kicked out of an abandoned house we treid to sleep in and had to settle for a dead lemon grove. Well at least we could have a hot meal. or so we thought until we realised that the fuel we ...

One may think that with the trouble we had in getting here, we weren't meant to be here. There was a fire on another train aheadd of us, and we were delayed by 2 hours. Then our train was having problems and we had to transfer to another train. All in all we arrived in Murcia at 12:45am, 4 hours late, but very excited to see Javier, Carmen and still waiting to see the girls who got up and went to school while we still slept.

When it comes to planning a holiday I don't usually deal with all the travel details and money, etc but this year I had no choice as my wife's job left her with no time to run holiday 'errands'.<br><br>As I walked around town I saw various adverts for Travel Money exchange and was baffled by all the different info. As a man who likes the simple approach I gave up on that idea and asked my brother where he had gone for his. He recommended No1 Currency ...

... city of Ciudadela in the west and the current capital built by the British, Mahon in the east. Its easy to see the attraction of a city at Mahon when you see the magnificent natural harbour, a favourite of Admiral Nelson's. We have five hotels in our Menorca programme, two are in the small resort of Punta Prima. The Club Punta Prima is an All Inclusive resort located directly on the sea, its ...

... of little jelly mold mountains surrounded by desert scrub, apparently they filmed allot of spaghetti westerns here, its not hard to see why the area is probably responsible for our perception of the wild west! Next to the coast near San Jose was a little village where free camping was allowed right next to the beach, we had an brilliant sea view and a 30 second walk to the quite little cove, the spot was great the weather was hot and sunny and the ...

... mal sehr gespannt, ob mir die Verschriftlichung von allem dann auch so flux von der Hand geht. Also jetzt aber zur Skiausfahrt: Die Uni hatte wieder eine Ausfahrt angeboten, um Skikenntnisse zu erwerben, bzw. für Könner. Ich fühlte mich da irgendwo zwischen, naja zwar waren wir früher mal mit der Schule auf einer Skiausfahrt, aber davon hatte ich jetzt nicht den Eindruck, dass viel hängengeblieben war. Auch von den Skitouren hatte ich mich nicht hundertprozentig ...

... Comedy and Magic of Nick Lewin. If you've never seen Nick Lewin perform, you really should. He is funny, witty and remarkably good without being over the top. His tricks truly dazzled and his jokes, though sometimes corny, were always rib-tickling funny and created an ambiance of fun and enjoyment. I'm not a huge magic show fan, but I really enjoyed this show. Another ...
