I am going back to the UK and I am supposed to be collected by a friend at Birmingham airport but I have just been reading about red road lines that you cant stop on all around the airport. If you do you get a fine of £100 apparently.

Does anyone know if this is true? The drop off point is £1 for 10 minutes but thats ok dropping off but who knows how long you will be sitting there for picking someone up?

Sounds a con to me!

Anyone any ideas? Website says the NCP, I got a quote of £24.49!!!! ]]> General Tenerife Chat BoPeep http://www.tenerifeforum.org/tenerife-forum/showthread.php?25992-Collection-from-Birmingham-airport http://www.tenerifeforum.org/tenerife-forum/showthread.php?25987-Where-has-everyone-gone&goto=newpost Sun, 19 May 2013 01:22:04 GMT This was the forum daily quiz challenge that was set up for a laugh, where has everyone gone??

We (me and the better half) have just returned from 10 days staying in Costa Adeje, we stayed at Laguna Park 1 and although not the best the shower was good, the rooms clean and all the staff were friendly.

Over the 10 days we weren't subject to any crime, looky looky men were ok and when were they were told no they left quite happily, we weren't approached at any by time share people and even had a laugh with the various PR's for the bars and restaurants, only one guy was annoying constantly insisting we would try his place every time we walked past.

Despite asking for a good fish restaurant on here we never made it, although I did enjoy a couple of fish dishes in the various restaurants / bars we ate in.

We budgeted 150 Euros a day (the wife and I do tend to drink a fair few beers during the day / night) and actually returned home with money despite eating and drinking more than we should.

We didn't do any site seeing or tours as we have done them before.

All in all we had a bloody good holiday and actually wondered what all the negativity and bad press is all about, can't wait until Xmas when we plan on going again. ]]> General Tenerife Chat carl http://www.tenerifeforum.org/tenerife-forum/showthread.php?25955-Our-experiences-of-the-Costa-Adeje-area-of-Tenerife http://www.tenerifeforum.org/tenerife-forum/showthread.php?25888-Fast-and-Furious-trailer-Movie-filmed-in-Tenerife&goto=newpost Wed, 15 May 2013 14:53:24 GMT I had no idea!

That means that if we get forest fires again this year, there will be up to 2 days delay whilst they are mobilized from Andalucia.

I have absolutely no problem paying tax on income from an apartment, but we want to determine the rent someone would pay and be the ones who determines who will stay in our apartment. That way we can be more certain we don't have an apartment visited by the wrecking crew!

Now I'm over the rant, I can say I'm missing Tenerife. Of course we can rent an apartment, but the psychological barrier of 'not owning' seems hard to overcome. Staying in a hotel would be a totally retrograde step, as I never liked Tenerife hotels much before we bought.

We're coming out in 12 weeks time and can't wait!! I think the best bit is that your holiday starts as soon as you get here - you know what to expect and you can just relax straightaway!!
