So, close your eyes and journey to the beach with me... (actually don't close your eyes because then you can't read :)) we're at Gatwick airport... I've just handed my car keys over to some random to go and park my car, which I booked on the Internet. For all I know, I could have just given some man a very nice present. I hope I have a car to get back from the airport! If not, someone will be getting a phone call from us at 3am on Monday morning.
Checking in and our 10kg hand luggage is over weight.. Good start... Now we have to check them in! Oh well they didn't charge us the £28 to check luggage in so all good. Charging to check bags in, what is that?! Are they going to start charging us to walk to the plane and opening the door for us soon?
Monarch airlines wasn't as bad as easyjet though, noone attempted to sell us anything and no scratch cards involved.
A few hours later we arrive in Palma and a few more hours later and we arrive at our hotel, after driving round dropping others off on a coach thinking 'please don't let ours be this one...'
Checked into our room... The smallest room in the world, a double bed and not much else...not even any space.
We walked straight out and got our room changed. Now we have 3 beds :) Still no TV tho... Oh well...
Now I'll involve you in our entertainment. Picture a dark hall, old 70's style fake velvet sofas and arm chairs, a room full of tattoos and people from t'up North.
Then Spanish Elvis comes on stage...
Olaaaaa uh huh huhhhhh
I'm not a big drinker, but this week, I have discovered Apple schnapps and am enjoying lots of it, in plastic cups.
Ok you can open your eyes now.
I'm making it sound worse than it is.
We came away for a cheapie holiday away from everything and to sit by a pool/beach and do nothing. And that's what we've got.
I'm currently writing this from besides the pool, listening to the sea and boats and eating ice cream. Our supply of ice cream is endless :)
The sun is blaring down. It's 5pm and its still HOT.
I've been for a walk over to the cliffs on the other side, a sudden burst of energy yesterday and we'll be exploring the beach tommorow. The water is so clear, it looks amazing.
For now, we're going to continue chilling, doing absolutely nothing but chatting and taking in the sun and eating ice cream.
Next act on stage is Natalie with a special dance rendition of "I like big butts". She has been rehearsing all week. I hope she wins a lanyard.
(and for anyone who thinks I'm serious, I'm not... Have to clarify that because she is going to kill me for writing it... ;) )
Laters alligators :)
