Hi CSR,

You might find that the "spare" switches control some of the sockets in that room. When we stay at the RIU or the Barcelo I always spend a few happy moments working out which controls what and there always seems one left over. Then my wife plugs in the hot brush (they always do) it does not work and we have to work out which switch controls that one!

Regards,

John.

What a weekend for underdogs! Portsmouth, Barnsley, Wales and Scotland - What is going on?

Hi Cathy,

I think you will find that there is a light socket in the shower room, concealed in the false ceiling, where the air conditioning unit (if fitted) is hidden. I only found this light fitting when we had the air con installed (the switch for it is directly outside the door). As there is nothing solid to fit a light to in the centre of the room (because of the false ceiling), I ran the wires to the side of the room opposite the shower, and fitted a wall light about a foot below the ceiling. The light fitting hides most of the wire which drops down from a corner I cut out of one of the tiles.

Best Regards

when you fit your light .you drill a hole where you want for the wires in the tile and anchor the light to the tile.some times the constructors drill the holes and poke the wires through and other times they do not.the ceiling although tiled will take the weight of a lot more than a light

Hello Jon
I have sent you two mails. In the first one i had made a mistake, as usual
and the second one is the good one.

As we are aproaching the Semana Santa with it´s processions and other religious celebrations, there are many other events organised as well. Mark these dates and places in your agenda if you are going to be in the area.

March 15: The BBc sport relief mile, a big event organised by the Oracle newspaper, Isla Canela and the Ayamonte council. All with the purpose of raising money for charity. Obviously there will be the run but around the commercial centre in the Isla Canela Marina there will be a big street festival with music, a flea market and many more things. Also the BBc will be coming to film for broadcasting it on TV!! kick off at 11:00.


March 22: The Opening party of the (in) famous beach bar La Sonrisa (Behind the Chipilandia funpark) with Live music starting at 22:00, and yes it is T-Bag performing!

March 24: 1st annual Martine Barthelemi memorial golf tournament at Isla Canela Golf in aid of Huelva Down Syndrome´s children Charity. This is all organised by Chad from the Outback Inn and it´s gonna be another big event with a huge party afterwards(+ buffet) at the Outback Inn, again with live music. you can find their contact details here: outbackinnspain dot com

Don´t miss these great events!!

Re the switch for the shower room; are you sure there isn't a light fitting hidden above the false ceiling? Seem to recall we found something hidden like that.

It is not always hiden read my post.although I did forget to mention just lift out the tile and you will see it

Thanks everyone I'll have a look when I am out in April but remember I am a bit girlie. Oh if anyone wants to meet up at esuri I'm out 2 to 7 April. Send me a pm. As you know I don't play golf but I do know where the 19th hole is.

The party at canella sounds like fun.I suppose lots will be there trying to get on TV but some of us will have to hide from the BBC camara in case we get recognised on the TV...only kidding..dont forget if your drinking all day there is only one road out

Wales Underdogs errrr.......not from where I am sitting

Have to agree with you there. Your coach has done wonders. Ireland were lucky to get away with what they got. All the same I lost a few Euros backing Ireland.

For anyone driving down from Santander etc to Costa Esuri would thoroughly recommend a stop at Merida to see the Roman ruins. It is about 1 & 1/2 hours from Esuri.

Wow how interesting - looks better than the Forum in Rome....!!! I did a route plan on Micrtosoft Autoroute and it turns out that theres nothing in it time wise, a bit shorter route, but on slower roads. Nett result only 7 minutes over the 2300kms of my total journey!!

Thanks that gives another option say of coming/going back, never thought of it....and I have a friend who raves about the Extramadura region too, so it may be a nicer drive at the start too....

Regards
Jon

What's happening folks we hit page 2 on the forum?
