Just got back from a lovely time on the Island of Menorca. This is the Harbour at Ciutedella.

Lucky you DaveR. I bet you wonder what you have come back to with this horrible, windy, wet weather.

It was a very pleasant 23 degrees out there. I was hoping temperatures would have picked up a bit here by now, very slow to warm up this year.

Here you go Ian, take the family with you!
I think you said you were a fan of the Langham.

 :o

I did, H. The London hotels are all vying with each other, now, to provide the best experiences for the uber-wealthy. We stay at the St Pancras Renaissance hotel a lot, and their top suite - the Royal - is £14,000 a night. But it's always worth asking these places if they can upgrade you when you go. Last time we went they upgraded us to a three storey suite in the hotel. 

Do like the Langham, though...

That's a great photo Bri, the views from the top are very impressive indeed.     $good$
How did you manage to get a trip up there?   We've been trying  to do that for years now but had no luck whatsoever.

We were part of a private group of 20 who joined up with another 30 which seemed to be organised by the Penmaenmawr Historical Society.

We were all transported by coach to/from the summit with an extremely knowledgeable tour guide onboard provided by the local history group.

Here is another view over towards Anglesey and Puffin Island.

The Isle of Man and the Cumbrian Hills could clearly be seen.

Sounds like a really great day out,  you're very lucky Bri.       $good$

Those views from the top of Pemaenmawr/ Llanfair  are incredible.
