We came back yesterday (Saturday 24 April) from Murcia to Bristol expecting the plane to be jam packed (we've been stranded for 9 days & this was the first "available" flight) but amazingly the Easyjet flight was half empty & we had 3 rows of seats between 4 of us - never had it so good!! I would say normality will return this week.

Weather last week was rather wet, cold & windy - brightened up Friday & Saturday looked like it was going to be a scorcher (typical - the day we go home) & the forecast for this coming week was good.

Best wishes

Margaret,

I bought the dongle in Spain - they are widely available - I bought mine in Cartagena but there is a Vodafone shop in the Dos Mares complex. The opening deal seemed to be a week unlimited or 1 Gb - I've just got home following the ash episode and had just about used the 1 Gb (lots of flight searching!!) but all in all it lasted nearly a fortnight & I was very happy with it.

Like Ray, I shall probably top up in the shopping centre.

Best wishes

Andrew

I am using a vodafone pay as you go dongle in Block 68 (penthouse) apartment very satisfactorily. It cost €59 with a week of free unlimited access, there are a variety of options to top up the system. We did try it in a ground floor apartment - this didn't work because the reception was not as good, it might have worked on the patio?

Best wishes

We always take our UK car baby seat & pushchair with us - Easyjet don't charge extra for this & what's more, even give you priority boarding so it works out well. We bought a narrow babycot & table chair out in Spain - widely available, Carrefour had a good selection.

Baby powder milk, same as UK brands, is available and of course nappies & wet wipes. The food selection wasn't as comprehensive as UK but there is enough to get by.

Regards

Andrew
