For Legend

[Ethel]

I was not ignoring you, or deeming you unworthy. I was being enigmatic.

Thank you - yes I did enjoy Tenerife and I stay in Silencio as I prefer peace and quiet.

I did have a few days out in Cristianos and Americas (among other places) where I ran past all the sex shops in case you recognised me. :)

All the sex shops!! Ethel how many were there??!!

What on earth do people go on holiday for, just to go shopping in sex shops??!!! Unbelievable.

[Ethel]

I don't go shopping in sex shops anywhere - and there are more than enough in my locality without having to go abroad to do it.

I saw three sex shops, but there could have been more.

Don't forget people actually live in Tenerife. Legend's shop would be their local Anne Summers. With knobs on.

Ethel! PMSL @ you, "with knobs on" LOL Hxx

[funnygirl]

I was not inferring that you shop in these sex shops.but just amazed how a thriving business they are abroad!

Anyway Ethel, glad to see you back and well!

Glad you had a nice holiday! You've been missed, with fellow aber's asking for you!!

[Ethel]

Thanks, funnygirl.

I did post a thread thanking all for their concern, and explaining what's been going on and where I've been.

Nice to be missed. Surprising, too. :)

Hi Ethel, sorry to butt in, just wanted to say hello, and hope you are doing ok, good to see you back on here again, Ray

[unrulyjulie]

sorry Ethel, just wanted to butt in and say hello to mr sparx, also hello to you and good to see you back :-)

[Ethel]

Thanks, Ray. :)

Leg - I stay in my friend's apartment right on the sea front at Amarilla Bay. Happy now?

Dot - if you want a raving night life, good beaches or childrens' entertainment, Silencio isn't for you. But as Leg said it is cheap and easy to get to the big resorts. I used the buses a lot without problems - 1 euro to Cristianos.

There is a nudists rock, which you will only get to if you are determined to go there as it is off the beaten track, plenty of bars and restaurants, mostly mundane but some surprisingly excellent.

I like it - it has what I need in a holiday - sun, peace and quiet and the ability to get to large resorts and excellent beaches cheaply and quickly. A lot of Canarians living in Santa Cruz have weekend retreats in Silencio, so although there alre lots of Brits, Belgians and Dutch there are plenty of natives too.

Glad you had a good time Ethel ..but now
back to cold weather ..enjoy life to the full ..

[Ethel]

Leg - no, it's not next to Hermura. It is round the corner from Club Marina, before you get to the Balcon apartments.

Flicks bar is in the block next to mine.

No, no markets for me. I have an allergy to markets.
