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 fantastic. The ‘stag night’ was eventful. Who can forget watching Yordi (juices of a laaaddyyy) from the bar windmilling his punches after getting into a fight with the guy who ran the bar next door? I’ll never forget the garlic crab starter from the meal we had before playing golf, more garlic than…

Villa Bini Becca, Menorca That villa 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 say ‘spicy sausages’, Hippy Chris decided it would be a good time to learn to skateboard.

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-one to greet us, but we did get a list of our rooms from somewhere and mine & Kate’s room was on the ground floor and the balcony doors were open, so we let ourselves in and sat around til everyone had their room keys when someone from reception…

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 up with constant calls from reception to get us to attend an on-site BBQ, which we didn’t go to but they still tried to charge us for. I think they also tried to charge someone else for phone calls they didn’t make as well. Most places we visited we went by taxi as it was so cheap. This…
