Arrived Manchester airport at 3.45am after a detour on the M60 as the airport junction was closed off.
Checked our luggage in and were offered front row seats on the plane, decided to have breakfast, so got into the lift, pressed floor one to find that the lift went up but the doors didn't open - had to go back down to ground floor and use the steps instead - holy chuff what a start !!
Had full english and then waited to board, when we got on the plane we were both that tired that we don't remember take off. Woke up just before we landed so must've been a good flight.
Given a private taxi to our hotel and checked into our room.
Now to check out the area, ooops only got 100 yards away from the hotel as the bar was calling our names, it just kept calling lager, lager, lager and it would be rude not to take up the offer.
18 euros and 6 pints later we thought it would be a good idea to call to the local supermarket to buy essentials, however after looking around it we started to laugh and left without buying anything.
Went back to room and sat on the veranda, noticed our neighbour and tried to say hello to her, she totally ignored us - don't know why cos we were talking quietly, this made us laugh even more. Jackie decided that the sea looked inviting so we got changed and went for a dip, which was quite precarious as we had to negotiate a flight of steps and rocks - we looked more like Ursula from the little mermaid then mermaids. We didn't want to take too much to the beach with us so took the face cloth to dry on.
After playing in the waves for a while we decided that it would probably be a good idea to have a little siesta before teatime, so went back to the room to have a shower which looked more like a builder's yard with all the black sand in it. The siesta turned into a full blown sleep and we just managed to wake up 20 minutes before tea was finished at 10pm.
Went into the restaurant, Jackie not happy cos they didn't serve coffee with the evening meal and I wasn't happy cos I couldn't really face any food but was watching Jackie eat goulash, chicken and chips - why couldn't she eat faster !!!! My evening meal consisted of one piece of pizza and water.
Went to the bar, FOR COFFEE and again I still couldn't stomach it so I had water.
There was entertainment laid on but with having a banging headache we decided to retire to our room.
Hope I feel better tomorrow !!!
