Well it cleared up a little and the sun was out between 4 - 6pm, but clouded up again and rained from 7.30 - 9.30 Still warm though.

However forecast is good for next 6 days. But doesn't look good for the week after

Had a few pints in Cheeks this afternoon whilst watching Arsenal. They had 4 matches on, Spurs L'pool and chelski as well.

Haven't really ventured far yet. Food in the hotel is ok, and they have a front terrace, right on the road, where you can sit with your (free) beer and people watch.

Sounds like a good chillax holiday then Mark.

Computer says it will be fine, computer is always right

Shame about the weather, but nice result today though mate, muchly needed. :tup:

Entertainment in the hotel bar isn't up to much, just playing music tonight... however Leapy Lee is on tomorrow. Shall I tell him about the meet up?

Well he is a member

Well worth seeing him mate, Me & San saw him at Pickwick's Bar, was a good act. :-bd: Yes tell him mate.

and tell him to bring his Bow as Yozef drinks it

be nice to see leapy there

Morning all. Business resumes as usual

Pic taken at 7.58 am local time this morning.

Brilliant pic and a rep from me awesome

great pic mark.not jealous at all

how's the food/drinks mark,my sister stayed at the tropico when it was h/b,she wants to return and is hoping it's still good now it's a/i

Have you had a sorta to Cantos to find out what all the quietness has been about Mark

Fantastic photo Mark, nice to wake up to that view mate. :-bd:

Roving reporter checking in

Another beautiful day. Took a series of sunrise photos this morning from 7am, splendid.

Food is ok Yozef. Not exquisite, not cr*p either. Always something to eat. Beer not watered down, only had a few last night and had a headache this morning. Had 5 whilst watching Arsenal on saturday at cheeks and walked away like i'd had a cup of tea.

Leapy was good fun last night, got the crowd up for dancing towards the end. A good 'holiday' type of night. I mentioned to him about the meet up and he said he'd try and make it.

Not been to Canto's yet.

Exchange rate on the street is E1.11, you can get 1.12 for exchanging a grand. However if you buy ciggies, perfume, or clothes, and pay with Sterling, they will give you E1.20.

Sounds like you are all having a great time mate.

Loving the reports mate thanks, Leapy Lee coming to the meet up would be brilliant

Yes good information Mark

Yes keep them coming Mark, it just makes us wish to be there with you. :-bd:

Not sure what the temps were recorded as today (del?) but it was well hot. Some people at lunchtime had to come back from the beach as it was just too hot!
I'd guess in the 80's anyway.
I see the forecast for the following week has improved now.

computer showing 81 at the moment, so would have been higher earlier on

That is good news Mark. :-bd:

Morning all.
It got a bit breezy last night, and was a few degrees cooler this morning. Couldn't really call it 'windy' though. Just a noticable breath of air rather than still and stuffy.
Awesome sunrise this morning. There is a bank of cloud on the horizon mking the sun bright red.

Morning Mark


Brilliant photo - glad your having a good time

Enjoy the peace while it lasts.....it's all downhill from tomorrow !

Fabulous photo mate. 2 more sleeps & I will see it for myself. :-bd:
