First full day
We all arrived safely and eventually were dropped off at our relevant hotel along with our luggage, well, nearly all that is because during the check in process Pistol was seen running between the two hotels looking for two suitcases for him and Jane that never turned up where they should have. I am assumingContinue reading “First full day”

A day of shopping and sunbathing for many, this the last full day before packing everything in the cases for the trip home.

Thursday 25th February
Todays blog will be very short good people.

Sunday 21st February
My apologies now before you start as this blog could be a long one today. A great day of entertainment at Isolation Cavaliers, which started with a hiccup on the transportation front. Instead of the larger vehicle a last minute issue with that bus meant we had to use two vehicles. Naturally the players andContinue reading “Sunday 21st February”
