      No other plans at the moment but that's not to say I won't be doing anything.
      I love Seville, one of my favourite cities. I assume you're doing all the good stuff like the Real Alcazar?

      While you're in the Cadiz area, the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art (aka the Spanish Riding School, with the Lippizaners) is just up the road in Jerez. You can go and see the nags in their stables & paddocks and, depending on the time of year (they go to Vienna during the winter months) you may also be able to see a show. You have to book in advance though. Thoroughly recommended, if you enjoy watching horses prancing about.

        So, we're not going anywhere. Maybe a week at the end of July.

                Excellently timed thread bensey.

                Just back from 2 weeks in Ecuador including a week's livaboard diving around Galapagos Islands.

                Absolute bucket list stuff.

                  what are the summer holiday plans this year ?

                  all we have at the moment is Mrs Benes and my good self going to a very quiet island which people who don't know how to behave on holiday haven't heard of and wouldn't be able to get and wouldn't even like anyway in the HR adriatic for a relaxing week

                  Milan.
                  I thought it was going to be a forum holiday, I remember one caravan holiday, I was at my desk laughing so much tears were coming down my face. One of the managers from another team came over and asked if I needed to take some personal time!
