Thank you Abigail, I am biased, of course, but it is a nice place, around 100 yards from the beach, I just love it. Loads of bars and restaurants in the little village too and a great community of Spanish, English, German, Dutch and French people, hope to live there permanently some day. :thumbsup: Have a great time in Florida, watch out for the alligators :lol: Will miss you on here.

Whereabouts in Germany are you going to?

Westerwald... small place called Grossmaischeid, which is about hours from Frankfurt (or 45 mins from Koln)
I love the place.. it is so nice. It has forests and lakes, mountains. It is also warm and lots to do for the kids

Katy

Perdita
18-06-2008, 06:25
I shall be going to the internet cafe a couple of times a week so you should get some stats :D This might leave you a little hungry but that will be good for when I am back, you will all be very eager to get your grey cells going again. :lol:

Westerham. Don't really know what I'll be doing while I'm there yet; wouldn't know where places were if she told me what she was planning, I haven't been before. I think we might be going into London on one of the days though.

I will be going to Spain where I have a lovely penthouse apartment and I shall be there for nearly 6 weeks. :cheer:

If you are any where near Gibraltar on that end of Spain and fancy a coffee (or a glass of vino!), please let me know. I know other members have met up but it is always in the UK so I am not able to attend!!

The intive also goes out to any other members who might find themselves near Gibraltar in the summer.

Aww, wish I was on here a year ago when I did come to the Rock for a couple of days, however, it is over 7 hours drive from where I am on the south east coast of Spain, otherwise I would have loved to meet up with you. :( :D

You go to the Reeperbahn in Hamburg? Aparently, because of the economic decline the Red Light district is not what it used to be like, I went once many more years ago than I care to remember :lol:

Just back from Germany and had the best time!! Went to see Starlight express musical (very good even if I didn't understand a word). Went to Circus Krone for my Bday.. it was totally amazing.. for the 1st week the sun was out, got up to 40 degrees at one stage.. we only had 4 bad days (when I say bad it was 25 degrees and a bit raining).. Love germany!!!

Perdita
15-07-2008, 12:11
I must admit, the weather here is ok, not too hot but perhaps a little sticky at times. Next few days a lot of rain is forecast, I hope it clears by Friday as I look after a colleague's dog for the long weekend and I prefer to go walkies in nice weather rather than in rain (he probably does too :lol: )

I got back from Kent this afternoon. It was brilliant; went to London twice and met a friend of my Great Uncle, as well as loads of my dad's cousin's friends. Weather was good on the whole too; it was boiling on Monday while my mum said it was cloudy here when I phoned.

The first time I went to London we just went round and saw some of the sites - Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, St James's Park, Big Ben, Little Ben. Second time we went shopping.

We didn't really do a lot in Kent apart from on the day I got there, when there was a band on in one of the pubs. On the Sunday we went out for breakfast and I managed to get what I thought was locked in the toilet lol! They were about to take the whole lock off of the door when I realised I'd been turning it the wrong way! :lol:

Kim
20-07-2008, 18:06
Yeah, we spent the whole day in Oxford Street lol! We got a bendy bus up to the top from just outside of Victoria Station, and it got a bit annoying when every time someone got on the bus, we'd get a voiceover repeating, "73 to Seven Sisters."

It was. Worst of all, the woman who was about to get someone to take the lock off of the door was my dad's cousin's friend. I said I was glad I live 120 miles away :lol:
