Lyons Battenberg Cake
This has been on special offer recently in Tesco's and since the offer has been on I have been able to eat single handed 4 whole cakes. The offer being buy one get one free and for a price of £1.29 pence, which gets you the two cakes, I think it is well worth it.
The Lyons Battenberg cake has been around for years and has been one of my favourite cake time treats for many a year. The fact that this cake is so sweet really satisfies me as I have a very bad case of sweet toothitis.

for you. The flight from Manchester to Amsterdam lasted approximately 50 minutes. Once you arrive in Amsterdam you literally walk to your next gate.

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Lyon (France)
Advantages: A clean hotel in the heart of Barcelona. Disadvantages: Web page not very trustworthy.

Within walking distance, you can visit the beautiful Picasso museum, the maritime museum, the zoo, sit on the beach, take a cable car ride over the harbour, and of course eat in a variously priced restaurants and shop in all sorts of shops (there's more, but this is the hotel review, not Barcelona in general, I have to keep reminding myself of that?).

All in all, we had a very enjoyable stay at the hotel Lyon. The room and bathroom were cleaned daily and the towels were renewed. The ladies who cleaned the rooms and looked after the reception area during the day were very helpful and patient when it came to giving us ...
