Well guys....we finally arrived on Saturday evening and are based at the Aguamar apartments in los cristianos. The missus has flown back to the UK and will be there mon-fri for the next 3 weeks finishing up her job so I am on my own with the two kids. If you see some poor exhausted looking chap on the strip at LC come say hi! Haha!
Realisation still sinking in, but very happy to be here and can't wait to meet many new friends! At the moment, just trying to work out simple stuff. ie. how to call back the uk cheaply, getting my blackberry email to work here, finding somewhere to live, figuring out if I need to apply for residency, insurances....etc etc! Lots to do, but hopefully now I will contribute alot more on the forum!
One thing we noticed straight off was the fresh smell of fruit from the supermarket....! Can't buy that in the Uk! Even the organic shop doesnt have any smell!! haha! Lets hope I can stay away from the many many gorgeous cakes i see available in the cafes!
Any estate agents with rental properties please pm me and I will send you my email and mobile number (hopefully i will get a spanish number tomorrow!)
Many Thanks
James
