Was out for my usual constitutional on Saturday (walk from Banus to the end of Marbella) - for a change when we hit Marbella we decided to wander up to Orange Square instead of continuing on to Marbella fishing port - we normally stop at the end have a drink and turn round for the trek back. So we went up into Orange Square and sat down at a place called La Bodega Blanca in the square - next to Baileys if you know where I mean - we ordered our normal bottle of "agua con gas con lima" (sparkling water with lime cordial). It was a hot day so we decided on another (par for the course) - normally on the Paseo Maritimo you get the lime in a little jug and a half litre bottle of water for 1.50€ to 2€ - here they put the lime in the glass and the size of the water is 250ml - they charge €2.30 for the water and on top of that they charge a further €2 for the shot of lime cordial (4.30 for fizzy lime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) - when the ticket came up for 8.60 I thought it was for all 4 drinks - in fact there was another ticket for the same amount underneath -. talk about daylight bloody robbery And they wonder why they get no trade!!!!! _______________________ *Smiley* - patrick@marbellamortgages.com www.marbellamortgages.com *Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit .....but any form of wit is an achievement* NO MATTER HOW MUCH MONEY YOU HAVE GOT, IF YOU HAVE NOBODY TO SHARE IT WITH, THEN ITS JUST NUMBERS IN THE BANK.

Or, derrr, could it have been a double posting?? Lovely place, Orange Square, but really just a tourist trap. Can charge what they like really! Although the rate we're getting against the euro, don't think we'll be back there next time we're in town!! _______________________ www.duquesavillage.net www.KeyDubai.com Spam post?

It has been brought to my attention that if one has no money about ones perosn they cant do you for it (by a lawyer) - so revenge will be mine when I go back for a steak and salad - solomillo I think and then tell em I got no dough!! _______________________ *Smiley* - patrick@marbellamortgages.com www.marbellamortgages.com *Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit .....but any form of wit is an achievement* NO MATTER HOW MUCH MONEY YOU HAVE GOT, IF YOU HAVE NOBODY TO SHARE IT WITH, THEN ITS JUST NUMBERS IN THE BANK.
