Do any forum members remember Betty and Ged, the lovely couple who were robbed while staying in the Azahara complex a few years back?
They were very unfortunate. They arrived at the complex, put everything into the safe in their room, went to do some shopping, and came back to find the safe gone! Passports, money, everything gone, on the first day of their holiday.
Forum member PJ brought their plight to our screens, and many members got together to try help them out, with money, meals, transport, excursions and new passports.
They were devastated at the time, but have been back several times since, and are here on the island right now. They say that if it weren't for the forum members jumping to their aid, they'd probably never have come back.
They almost missed their flight home, too, as the emergency passports were only valid 48 hours and the Eyjafjallajokul volcano threatened further havoc with flights, but they escaped in the end!
I met them earlier for a bite, and they send their thanks, love and regards to everybody:
