I did go down south and had a great time but thought that I shouldn't attempt to get my wife to visit a garden centre on our holiday, divorces cost too much!

haha...... did you like the island people seem to either love or hate it ?

Whilst it is "somewhat barren" I go for the sun and to have some really good food.  I stayed at the Hotel Jandia which doesn't look much from the outside but it was first class, lovely rooms, wonderful food and entertainment.  Nice walks in the evening along beside the sea for a pint and then back again all in nice warm temperatures.  It was my second time on the Island, we went to Costa Calma last time.

how come you stayed down south with the germans most brits stay in either caleta or corralejo....or was that the whole idea to get away from british tourist and do something different

Costa Calma was a last minute booking and it looked OK with a magnificent beach; it was full of Germans and hardly any other Brits.  We went out on the bus to Jandia whilst we were there and it looked OK although a bit "touristy".  

Having had a lot of rain lately and wanting a bit of sun on my body I booked another late holiday 2 weeks before we went and I thought (but you can put me right) that the South had better beaches.  As it turned out however we spent most of the time around the pool rather than the beach; too many naturists that had far better bodies than me on the beach!  However there were quite a lot of Brits there which made it a bit easier to converse as my German knowledge is up to normal Brit standards i.e. nil.  Happy to take recommendations of where to stay for my next visit.  By the way are taxi drivers exempt from the speed limits and are they allowed to drive on any side of the road?
