Me Again.........

[candles by lisa]

..........just back from my holidays.

2 weeks in the sun in Alcudia was great but when you come back home you don't have come down to earth with a thump!!!

Took us ages getting in and out of Glasgow because of the Bombing on the Saturday. We had to take our shoes off before they would let us through security so the delays were pretty hellish but got there eventually.

I have to say that I really liked Alcudia, and the hotel we were in was lovely but be warned DO NOT got for a family friendly hotel because roughly translated this means that kids can and will run riot from morning until night.

I was in a complex with 2 other hotels all connected so with 3 hotels on the one site and all those kids - do you know the sound of kids in the playground at break time - yep well that was the noise 24/7 - it drove me nuts most times got the bus to the beach far far quieter (meant I missed the all inclusive booze during the day but just not to have that noise for a while was bliss.

I did have a good time and the weather was fantastic not a cloud in the sky for the 2 weeks so brown as a berry.

Will need to trawl my way through the last 2 weeks worth of threads to see what I have missed.

So did ya miss me - what no - didn't think so.

Cheers.

Glad to have you back. Although you are making me fell very white and untanned! ..... now where is that tan in a bottle?

[Sommerwood]

Welcome back:D Glad you had a good time although the kids would be my idea of sheer hell too!!!:)

[Tip Top]

I was wondering if you were back and did you have a good holiday!!

The sound of kids would be a nightmare to me - and I have two little bread snatchers!! :D:D:D

Glad you had a good break - my next holiday is May 2008.....:mad:
And we are all brown too
But its rust from all the rain!;)

Yes, we have definitely missed you. Complete bummer coming back to the rain though.....

It was lovely down here today, and up in Gloucestershire when we went to visit the Castle ready for the weekend.

Hi All,

Thanks for the welcome back. I can't believe it the weather here is lovely which is brilliant for getting all the washing hung out.

The noise was a total nightmare but I still enjoyed the holiday. I met my friend and a couple of my neighbors there (what a small world) they christened the complex ASBO towers - it certainly wasn't the hotel or the staff more how shall I say it - the clientele that let the place down - not drunk and disorderly just letting the kids run amok. But I enjoyed myself and feel like I have never been away.

Cheers.

Welcome home Lisa :D

Glad you enjoyed the weather ... shame about the environment you were in. Did you go to the water park in Alcudia? Did you go "how much???" at the price to get in?!!

[EMEvans]

Glad to have you back. At least you got away from the british weather, the last two days have been good but i think it rained everyday before that.

Hi,

Yep went to the Hidro park in Alcudia, it was right across the road from the hotels.

It was good. However typical spain it cost 17 euros to get in for adults and 13 for kids. If you wanted a locker for your stuff it was 4.5 euros and if you wanted a sunbed it was another 4.5 euros. The food was the usual fast food stuff but we took our own food and drink in with is. It was good, not as big as the Marine land in Palma but it is half the price. The kids loved it and the slides and things were good. We had a really great day.

Cheers.

Glad you had a great holiday, welcome back to our world of rain, rain and more rain.

[littlesnuggler]

Welcome back Lisa, glad you had a good time with lots of sun. We are going away next week - can't wait :mf:

[colourart]

Has it been nearly two weeks already....welcome back. Glad you had a good time. We promise to keep the noise down.:D

Hi Lisa

Glad to have you back.

We stayed at the Jupiter hotel, which was one of three hotels on the same complex just across from the waterpark - was this near where you were?

We went in April 05 with my hubby and two children, only two of the hotels were open and it rained from the day we got there to the day before we left!! It was noisy then.

The one day we decided to go to the beach we sat there with an overcast sky and nearly got run over by the tractor raking the sand:mf:. Not our greatest, but definitely our most memorable....

Hi Lisa,
Really glad you enjoyed your holiday. Welcome back to the wonderful, changeable British weather!
I know what you mean coming down to earth with a bump when you finally get home..when we came back from Rome a couple of weeks ago it took me days to get back into the daily grind!!
Back into it now though! :mad:

Yep we were in the Marte Hotel in between the Jupiter and the Saturno. The weather was fantastic but the noise was unbelievable. Each day got busier and nosier than the next.

I did really like the beach and I am sure Elvis is alive and well and selling tickets for the Sunbeds on Alcudia beach - if not he must have a twin cause I am sure Elvis sold me my tickets for the sunbeds.

I really like Alcudia it feel safe to walk about at night if you are a woman if you know what I mean. I certainly wouldn't walk about Glasgow city centre myself at 11pm at night but had no problems going out with my daughter at that time.

Cheers.

Lisa - glad you had a good holiday, apart from the noise.

We went at a quiet time and Saturno was closed. Can you believe it - we flew from Exeter in hot weather and returned with hot sunshine, but the days in between were rainy and very windy. Thank god we went all-inclusive as all our spending money went on amusing the kids indoors. The kids team was either mornings or afternoons and very good, so we did have a break:mf:

If you wanted to go to Majorca again, I can really recommend Puerto Pollensa - the next bay along. We've been 3 times now and never had a problem with noise like you describe. It's also very safe and nice to walk round in the evening with lots of lovely shops - there was a fantastic shoe shop (droool...) selling gorgeous shoes for 10 euros! £7 !! Some of them looked like something you could have bought in Monsoon. There are loads of restaurants and a huge pedestrianised area ... I love it and as you can probably tell, would really recommend it ;)
