I love the internet, this week is the first time ever I have relied on the whole of my holiday via our mutual friend the internet. I cannot believe I can get at my blog . I don't know why perhaps it is because it is the first time I have ever taken my laptop away with me. Don't worry I am not that sad I can't leave it behind. There was a rason for brining it with me and that was quite simply to enable me to do electronic bookings, I didn't know if our fiinal destination allowed us the ability to book in on line but did know our first destination had. I still can't believe my blog is so accesible so far away from home. I must be sad typing away, no not really its so hot outside we can't do much comfortably so we wait until later and spend the day reading, splashing around by the sea, drinking and generally chilling out and recharging the batteries+ scribbling on blogs
How did we book our holiday?
We used the Internet, Primark, Hand luggage and Holiday Rentals .co.uk.
Our flights came to £175 return for the pair of us inclusive of taxes
We did not spend money on pre booking seats and took our chance but ended up sittiing together = Saving of £60.00
We did not spend money booking a suitcase in and took hand luggage saviing of £15.00 each
We packed clothes a laptop tooth brushes and a brush/combe no makeup,hair gel or shampoo
We purchashed 10 T shirts each from primark + underware and swimming stuff.
We used public transport instead of Taxis to our first destination= approx 7 euros vs 30+ euros
We purchased our personal items ie deodriant, shampoo, toothpaste, soap,nibbles and booze at the local super market on arrival We spent £50 on this and was somewhat shocked. However we brought named brands and the suntan lotion was almost 16 euros. Basically the personal stuff deodriant,soap suntan stuff, shampoo, made up most of this bill.
Is Spain as cheap as we all think
No it is not! you cant go wrong if you just class the euro as £1.00 in bars resurantes and the like.
Now This Is one Of My Favourite Topics
The British In Spain
Why is it the British fail say say please and thank you.
Why is it the British think the Spanish are so far behind the British
A few years ago the OH and my self ventured into Belomadinas where we quite simply got off a train and went into a Bar. We asked for two beers and a few Tapas in pegion Spanish meanwhile next to us was a rude British person who asked for a G+T in english + no please or thank you and whats worse in English. I have never been more ashamed at being British than in this particular circumstance. Old bint orders G+T in English and expects Spanish Person to understand English as a matter of course. I love the Spanish because they play the game. I watch Spanish barman fill th glass up with Ice, I watch Ice melt and Spanish barman fill glass with a single if not less meaure of Gin. Certainly not the over the odds measures we are all used to in Spain. I love it old Bint pays over the odds for short measure.
I really do wish these old collinial types get a grip, learn the language and just once in a while learn how to say please and thank you.
