Advantages: Right on the beach, great views Disadvantages: None...eventually
We'd had some pretty good hotels on our trip to Andalucia, and we hoped that the hotel we had picked for our final three days wouldn't be any different. We wanted a comfortable room in a hotel on the beach with a nice sea view, but nothing too remote so that we could still enjoy all the facilities of a resort. Did we get what we wanted?
Well, read on...
We booked the HOTEL PERLA MARINA, in the town of NERJA, through bancotel.com. This is a Spanish based travel site whereby you purchase 'cheques' for 50 euros each. Depending on the hotel, season etc, a room costs between 1-3 cheques per night. This can mean savings of over 60% in some cases.
Being the intrepid bargain hunter (some would say tight-fisted git) that I am, I managed to book a series of 3 and 4 star hotels for 50 euros. This hotel was no exception.
Nerja is around ...
Advantages: Peaceful, tranquil, beautiful and very friendly Disadvantages: Can be expensive
MARINA CARAVAN PARK
GLASSON DOCK
Marina Caravan Park is owned by South Lakeland Caravans.
It is situated on the banks of the Lancaster Canal to the rear and overlooking the River Lune at the front and is near to the little village of Glasson Dock on the outskirts of the lovely city of Lancaster.
The park is for static caravans only and has no touring site.
It has 135 holiday homes that are all privately owned and are not available for subletting.
The site is open from 1st March until 2nd January and is the perfect park for anyone interested in owning a holiday home.
If you haven't recently been inside a static caravan (or holiday home as they are now known) you can't imagine just how comfortable and practical they are.
There are new and used caravans for sale on Marina - the pre-owned caravans ...
Advantages: ..............An ideal starter aquarium.............. Disadvantages: ............Girly pink and only 17 Litres........
My daughter choose this tank as her first starter fish tank, drawn to the girlyness and cuteness of it, unlike other tanks i have seen before it is simply targeted at girls! It is designed as an 'enchanting magical underwater world'.
The kit comes complete with:
~ 29.5 x 19 x 32 cm square glass tank (17L).
~ Pink clear plastic feet and matching cover.
~ Elite mini internal filter (with venturi valve to add bubbles/oxygen and water movement)....... (in pale pink!).
~ Aqua plus 30ml water conditioner (to remove chlorine and harmful metals in tap water).
~ Cycle 30 ml biological supplement (to help the tank to cycle/filter to mature and reduce levels of ammonia/nitrate)
~ Nutrafin max flake food.
~ 1.5kg pink gravel.
~ Mermaid ornament (a Mermaid cuddling/swimming with a seahorse).
~ Comprehensive instruction guide ...
