Post subject: Landed Safe & Sound |
|
|
Evening all,
Have been spouting on for a week or three that i was moving over to Tenerife, well have made it safe (& Reasonably )Well.
Being an old git i had not allowed for riding my motorbike (From the Isle of Man) through snow storms etc coming across spain, then the Marie Celeste Fortuna!! With just 75 passengers on her!! quiet or what!
Landed and made it to my hotel base (for 5 weeks) in Puerto De La Cruz.
Nice place, amazing loro Parque, Definitely gonna get me an annual ticket for there.
Also following a suggestion on the forum (sorry forget who) been and had a skeet around Los Gallantes and have already sorted longterm rent on an apartment in Costa Sinclair & sorted me moby out with a spanish sim.
Just the phone line an tinternet to sort now, uk telecom seem to be offering a reasonable deal till end of january, anyone had any dealings with these?
One tip though, when using Sat Nav DONīT BE CLEVER like me and switch from fastest route ie PDLA to Los C around the top, fine going down and use SHORTEST route to get back Straight up over the top!!!!!
Brilliant road for bikes they may be but not after 2000 miles in ten days!!
Thats enough boring you all for now, others quing up for pc

Im presuming Los Gigantes/ Las Galletas and Costa del Silencio.... I think Rob gets the general jist he is just a little facetious about the spelling mistakes and general construction of the post........ he he 'Typos' again eh Rob...?
We have had some funny stories about Sat Nav they are humourous things..... do a U turn on the A1 lol  _________________ www.secretgardenholistics.com

SORRY!!!
Dare say i had a water or two in the bar before getting on the computer
PDLA should of course have been PDLC as in Puerto De La Cruz,
might make sense a bit more now!!
And yes i did mean Costa Del Cilencio.
