Almeria 2010

[El Gordo]

Some more progess to report. I've just booked my car into Gatwick's long term carpark. £20 for the 3 nights. I can take 6 people - if Sweder and EG want to catch a lift let me know so that we can arrange departure time from LR's house.

So what is the decision about the hotel?? It seems from antonio's post above that we still need to book the Tryp Hotel if that is the one that we are going for.

I'll be in Crawley on Friday night/Sat morning, and usually get a taxi to the airport from there. It would be handy to get a lift back to Crawley on the Tuesday though, to pick up my car. But not essential.

Regarding the hotel, I was a bit confused by Antonio's mail, but I think he's saying that for the Tryp Indalo, the current web rate is cheaper than the one he'd been promised, so we should book it ourselves to get the cheaper rate. And it certainly is cheap: 35 euros without breakfast, 41.23 with breakfast (per night. standard room) -- as long as it's booked/paid in advance.

I don't see anything about a triple room. Is it possible it's not available because it is already reserved for you? Antonio -- sorry to trouble you again, but could you check if the triple room is reserved for Julie? And if so, what would be the web rate? If it's cheaper, she could pay for it in advance. Alternatively Julie you may want to consider getting a twin and a standard for the 3 of you, as the rate is so low.

Unless I hear anything to the contrary, I'm minded to go ahead and book/pay for my room at the Tryp. Will do so later this evening if I hear nothing more.
