Mum's back at The Maripins in Malgrat for two weeks. She has just phoned to say she's having a brilliant time and the weather is hot and sunny. Lucky her. I wish I was there too.
(I hope she remembers to bring back my passport which I left behind reception in August ). Thank God for understanding Passport Control lady
oh dear.
you can see the headlines now.
BRITISH COACH HELD AT FRENCH IMMIGRATION
Scottish couple arrested for insulting French
By the time you get to France the Tartan Army will just about be sober enough to try and find their way home.
a great result though.
enjoy your holiday.

HI All....dont worry about insulting the French CDM...we insult them just by being there any way...any chance you can get a flag to wave at the stop offs as well ... I used to carry francs as well as pesatas for the stop offs before the euro but the attitude of the french when they served you naffed me off...Then coming back one time we stopped at Montellemar(sorry cant spell it) and as we all love nugget and so did friends back home I decided to off load my francs and buy a load of all the different types for all the family to eat then and take home as presents ...I had nearly £50of it (as I had 5 kids with me and love it myself and got the luxery stuff as presents) and took it to the counter ...The 2 girls behind the counter just carried on talking and ignored me, and ignored me. We had to go back on coach so I put it all down and said excuse me but I have to go..only then did they serve me and not very nicely ...they were arrogant and it was as if it was beneath them to serve me and it was a something theyd rather not do...so I vowed I would never buy francs again, and even now I dont spend anything passing through France with my euros. I take my own food and drinks and if I run out get it off the coach
we have just come back from blanes had a great time the weather was fantastic 2 weeks of sun well 13 days the marine land was great blanes itself was ok not much there we stayed at la masia it was very good bit of a walk to the entrance we were at the back we went with siesta but all in all we had a great time spent a day in disneyland as well that was ok not to busy we stayed at the hotel Kyriad basic room but clean thats all u need i think roll on next year i think we r going to lloret
almost all the 3* and above hotels in calella will have some sort of entertainment on.
whether it is good is a matter for individuals. some people actually like karaoke
the HTOP hotels have entertainment every night, as do some of the others. there are plenty bars etc there so i'm sure you will find something to suit you.
thanks for your reply.were going costa brava in late june early july but cant decide on which hotel yet as a lot of mixed reviews so still doing a bit of homework to try and choose one thanks again norma
can anyone help please.just wandering how to make a hotel reservation,travelling on the 30th of june a night flight will proberly arrive at the hotel just after midnight which will make it the 1st of july so do i make the reservation for the 1st as if i do it for the 30th june its like we would have missed a day and would the hotel let us check in just after midnight on the 1st thanks norma.
If you make your reservation for 1 July the room won't be available until 3pm. To ensure the room is available for your arrival at midnight you will have to reserve the room for 30 June.
I would also advise that you make them aware that you will be a late arrival.
Just over 7 weeks until we fly. Staying at the Amaika HTop in Calella for a week.
Lovely hotel , we stayed at the Calella Palace last year and had no complaints but visited the Amaika lots.
Can't wait. Started the diet today,think I might have left it a bit late though
