Albufeira 2007
Pateo Village in Albufeira, Portugal. For those who don't know, Pateo is Portuguese for Patio. So we stayed on someone's massive patio. The accommodation was massive, we had two apartments each with two double bedrooms. Proper double bedroom size with wardrobes and bedside tables. In the living room...
Tasmaria 2006
A pretty uneventful holiday in Cyprus. We visited a few new places. Different falling down stuff, revisited Tomb of the Kings - it was still stupidly hot. The holiday we originally booked would have been a bit further down the road, I think it was called the Tomb Of The Kings Apartments or something...
Paradise Apartments 2005
Or, 24hr Tula as the holiday was nicknamed. Our first visit to the once party capital of Crete, Agios Nikolaos. Ag Nik was the first tourist town in Crete and was considered quite a posh resort for a while, until Malia became the place to go. We were staying a little way out, I think it was about a...
Cyprus 2004
This year we visited less ruins and things, me and Kate went to watch the Cyprus W.R.C. (bloody good it was too) Saw a snake. Bumped into the infamous Crocodile George who drove the jeep when we went to the rally. We also spent a bit of time getting married. The wedding was excellent. The meal was f...
Crete 2003
Frixos apartments in Malia, the party capital of Crete. It was stupid hot. We arrived in the middle of a heatwave were it hadn't rained for weeks, everything was covered in a layer of dust & sand. I think it got to about 41 degrees on our last day. It was so hot the bar staff were giving out bottles...
Cyprus 2002
The one were we got engaged. I'll tell you something you might not know. I was worried going through the bag check on the way out that security might find the ring and demand to see what was in the little box in my hand luggage, especially as I'd recently read about someone who had ended up having t...
Menorca 2001
That holiday. The one with many mishaps, arguments, too much gin and Carl getting so drunk that, well, we all know what he did. Let's start with the injuries. On the first day I walked into a wall and got a black eye, Derek developed a swollen tongue and we spent the whole week trying to get him to...
Faliraki 2000
Go Karts, slingshots and history all in one week. We arrived at an unfinished site, the rooms were all finished, as well as the pool area, but the bar was still being finished, it didn't really make any difference to the holiday though. We turned up very late at night / early in the morning with no-...
Anemi 1999
1999 Anemi apartments - Paphos - Cyprus 16th May 1999, one week, flying from Bristol. Booked through First Choice. Apartments were set between a 'gentleman's club' and a strip club. Not sure what the difference was. Still, it turned out to be very well situated for the main Paphos town. Had to put u...
