    Here we go again, day 1

    February 8, 2025 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    Lift from Lydia into Liverpool. A few beers then a telling off as we were late at the gate. An hour wait at the airport for our transfer then a 2-hour convoluted drive to ours (note to not do this again). Apartment not where I thought it was but just opposite the square in Los gigantes. Even though it was late we hit the town and grabbed a kebab. Sam spotted a pissed Scotsmen tucking into his, foil and all! Popped to the Irish bar for some late karaoke 🎤 then bed at 3.30amRead more

  • Day 2 local

    February 9, 2025 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

    Helen did her walk, then we met for coffee near Lidls. Went for a walk to Puerto del santiago and found Mam and Ron having a meal for his Ron's 80th. Back to Lidls for supplies them back for pre's then a meal in the square with a good singer. Went to bed with a bad head (dehydrated).Read more

  • Day 3 Boat trip

    February 10, 2025 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

    Helen did her walk then we had a coffee and got ready for the boat trip. Had a beer by the beach, then got to the front of the queue. On the bigger boat this time, had a few beers, plus our bubblegum vodka and liquers. Great sighting of the pilot whales, then headed for a stop and Mark did the pirate boat swing. Home for pre's. Watched comedy Elvis/Trump then a bit of ska at Richardsons but Sam got manhandled trying to use the loo, so put a downner on thingsRead more

  • Day 4 a walk

    February 11, 2025 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    Helen did her walk, then we decided to go for a long walk, possibly to San Juan. However, Sam's hip was playing up, so after Legends we just did a short walk to the coast path. In the evening we went to the Irish bar for a rubbish ABBA tribute, then over to Richardsons to see a cool 80s act and did some serious dad dancing. Sam had an apology for the night beforeRead more

  • Day 5 - the 'session'

    February 12, 2025 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    We had good intentions to have a pool day, but it all went south. Had a beer at Domingos where we bumped into Elliot from Bridgend. He invited us to the Sangria bar with his housemate Ian, and a session ensued. After a freshen up we went to the 'Russian' bar, then into the Cocktail bar run by Paul the Irish guy. Finally, onto the Irish bar. Sam had some shenanigans with Elliot to end the nightRead more

  • Day 6 Playa San Juan

    February 13, 2025 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    Decided to take the bus to Playa san Juan. A nice stroll along the front and had a couple of Chouffes and some grub. Sam had enormous green lipped mussels. Back at base went out to the Irish bar, Sam very tipsy, so took her to bed. Mark murdered 'born to run'! Time for bedRead more

  • Day 7 Costa Adeja

    February 14, 2025 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    The bus trip Took a good 1.5 hours due to traffic and convoluted route. Settled at a bar/restaurant on the front and had a few beers, some wine and lunch. Lucky to get in the return bus as so busy. Home by 7.30 and then out for a few beers at Richardsons watching Roxy, who Sam loved.Read more

  • Day 8 Night out with Mam

    February 15, 2025 in Wales ⋅ ☁️ 3 °C

    Walked over to see Mam and Ron with Sam. Breakfast/brunch at Legends, then back home. Booked to eat at the Indian and had a beer at the Russija bar while Sam had a 'nap'. The curry Mark had was a vindaloo pretending to be a Madras, hot 🔥! Onto Richardsons to meet Mam and friends and to watch the Latino duo we'd seen last yearRead more

  • Day 9 Goodbyes & home

    February 16, 2025 in Wales ⋅ ☁️ 3 °C

    Packed our bags and went for a coffee at Tipsys. Back to grab everything, then onto the square for our final session. Mark nearly left his trainer on the stairs in the apartment 😳. Ron and Mam showed up while we had wine and some grub at the kebab place. Back up to the bus stop for our transfer, all good and at the airport in good time. Marks ears went in the descent, the pressure pain keeping him up into the early hours. Back into cold Britain after a fun filled sunny week 😎Read more
