VIVA TV Interview

I was interviewed by a local TV station at a lifestyle event in May. Check it out on YouTube:

A bit cringe-worthy, but hey, it's entertainment!

Kneeboarding & Double Trouble


Here is the address for my latest article. This was the most fun I've had all year:

It has now prompted me to buy my own kneeboard so I have hours of aching and mobility issues ahead of me! Enjoy.

We Love The Summer Holidays!!



Well, the summer is definitely here! Tourist numbers are right up and our accommodation providers, OPI, are all reporting high occupancy rates. Bookings for Costa Adventures are our best yet, with large numbers of families and groups doing activities.
Our top activities include sailing, power boat fun days, sea fishing, wakeboarding, scuba, quads, horse riding, air rifle shooting and archery.
It's just too hot for some of the other activities, such as pole dancing, although we are taking bookings for the winter now.
So far it has been very hot, with temperatures going right up in to the 40's, so we are always advising people to replace not just fluids but salts and minerals. Heat exhaustion is caused when you are exposed to the high heat and do not look after yourself properly, it is very dangerous and can lead to heat stroke. If you think you have it (symptoms include sickness, diarrhea and fever), then get straight to a doctors or accident and emergency at your nearest hospital. Don't forget your E111 and passport.
The beaches are packed and fiestas are happening all over the Costa, so people are making the most of the culture and entertainment while partying till the sun comes up.
Being so busy means less time for my own adventures, but I will be trying out wakeboarding next week! That should be a laugh, for everyone watching me. I'll be writing about it for my next article in the Round Town News and posting the article and pictures here so keep your eyes open.
