Spanish version of Monte Carlo. My sister stayed there with friends for a few days. I have a photo of the super yachts in the background. A beautiful clutch purse she brought back for me from there, Moroccan style. <br />Jan VanEngenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10352051823518943852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-62441399903605441372017-10-19T21:39:34.878+11:002017-10-19T21:39:34.878+11:00That place was used in Poirot Evil under the sun t...That place was used in Poirot Evil under the sun tv show.

I didn't know this existed and it just went straight to the top of my bucket list - how gorgeous!<br /><br />Years ago when we were in Madrid, we had someone break into our car by smashing a window. We were directed to this place that could fix it in Marbella (much further south on the Costa Del Sol). We hadn't plannewd on going there but it was the only place that we could get it fixed through our (dodgy) insurance so we went. And we loved it. Stayed for 5 days - 3 days more after the car was fixed. It was December in Europe so it was freezing but the south of Sapin was mild in comparison and the seaside resort which is bustling in summer was pretty much deserted which made everyone very keen to impress any tourists. It was just a relaxing 5 days watching the ocean and eating amazing food by very welcoming locals. It was an unexpected pleasure and we were sad to leave.Amy Andrewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12690419732247281048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-12467991148757905922017-10-19T14:22:23.046+11:002017-10-19T14:22:23.046+11:00And me!And me!Amy Andrewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12690419732247281048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-66268972475955842612017-10-19T12:19:05.330+11:002017-10-19T12:19:05.330+11:00Fabulous piece, Annie.

As long as nobody murders me. You know, people in the know must check out in droves once they find out Hercule Poirot is coming to visit. There's always dead bodies galore when he's checked into a hotel!

I had the pleasure of staying there for a night two years ago. Utterly wonderful!<br />I've just got back from a holiday in Nusa Lembongan, a small island off the much larger and better known Indonesian destination of Bali. It was bliss! I have my daughter to thank for suggesting the place to me. I'd never heard of it before. Certainly didn't know how to pronounce it!Kandy Shepherdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16992773219169379298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-30030045823825129982017-10-18T14:04:00.405+11:002017-10-18T14:04:00.405+11:00What a wonderful adventure, Annie.

I remember that episode of Evil Under The Sun, and being mesmerised by the gorgeous Art Deco hotel (as well as the transport across to the island). What a thrill to have had a chance to visit!
