Fourth year running, love the place and know what to expect and where to go.
Now the sun has come out, its really lovely.
Had some highlights and some lowlights, this is the story so far.
Banjaxed my neck throwing an 8 year old around in the pool. Probably a trapped nerve, went to chemist in Los Cris. Charged €18 for something marked homeopathic. Think I was ripped off, like smarties.
Queueing at an ATM when a blond in a shocking pink dress ran up to the guy using it. "Did you just use the machine down there?" Yep says he, but card didnt work and no money. She pulled out a small wad and gave it to him, it dispensed after he walked off and she chased him !!! What the???
Shoulder killing me so off to Doctor Whittaker in Arona Grand. Lovely lady, polite and reasonable, €30 consultation and €7 for prescription. Pleasant surprise !
Met up with another lady who had a bad experience down the waterfront at Los Cris. Place near the square with chickens roasting on a rotiserrie (spelling!?!). Guy actually came out and called her kids wild brats and having no manners. She left - and so did some other tourists in disgust, who were sitting next to her. I havent gone down there yet !
Rumours restaurant, as usual, lovely food, my wife needing gluten free is completely happy there. Food reasonable and good quality.
On the look out for somewhere nice for Saturday night, our anniversary, so something above average. Any ideas anyone?
Our friends arrived in to Bungalows Atlantique, with their three kids. No two bed apartment available, what a disaster that place was. First thing next morning rang the travel agent in Dublin and they were moved to a 2 bed apartment. I took photos of the original one. TV casing broken (1/2 inch gap in it), coin operated-which didnt work, more steps than the eiffel tower, not great for two buggies. Pile of vomit on the ground outside their apt. Wow. Its sorted now though. Must stick the photos on tripadvisor shortly.
Friend needed a micro sdcard for her phone. Brand new phone but they forgot to put the memory card into it DOH!. She asked me to have a look as it was full with only nine shots.
I went into the electrical shop in the Arona Grand and the lady wanted €45 for one. I laughed and walked away. Holeymoley is all I can say.
Will check out the other stores later. Until then I will try and upload from her phone to my laptop every day and email them back to the UK.
Hey Hey, lets see what happens next.
Anyone recommend a nice physio near paloma beach. Dont mind paying within reason, but this shoulder is dead and its weak all down my arm.
