Disaster!!

Well we’re back from Majorca two weeks now, and being honest we had a terrible time!! When we arrived, it was raining with thunder and lightning and when we arrived at our apartments we were told that our reservation had been cancelled!!!We couldn’t believe it! We asked why but they weren’t sure so said that would see if they had another room available....One hour later we have a room and discover that it has two single beds and a leak in the bath tap!grrrr...needless to say we were so peed off but decided to try to make the best of a bad situation. That first evening we went for a walk along the beach promenade, had a Chinese meal and found a tame bird who let us rub him and feed him. At first we thought he was ill, but he was eating and hopping along so must have been okay.

Anyway, come the second morning we woke up to more rain and found out that we had no hot water! (Can this get any worse?!)lol...We made a complaint with reception and were told that they would look into it, but come our last day we still had no warm water and had to endure cold showers and showers on the beach. We really felt like just packing up and coming home but had heard that the weather was going to improve so decided to stick it out. Thursday came and the weather was great, we got up early, put our summer gear on and headed to Marineland! We had a great day there and then headed to the beach and hired a paddle boat for an hour. It was the best day we’d had there by far and unfortunately the last...the bad weather had returned by Friday morning and lasted for the rest of our stay. We ever thought we’d say this but we couldn’t wait to get home.

We made it home to Dublin at about 3.30pm and the weather was great!Not a cloud in the sky!Typical huh?We leave rainy Dublin for a sun holiday and get rain and then arrive home to sunshine!haha! We’ve decided to make a complaint to budget travel and seek some form of compensation. So far they have just said “thank you for your e-mail and we are sorry for any inconvenience caused, please allow 6-8 weeks for us to investigate this matter...” We have a feeling that they’re just going to try and fob us off though so have decided to take it to the Small Claims Court now. It only costs a couple of Euro to make a claim so let’s see what happens.

Unfortunately the holiday was a disaster but we’re planning on going somewhere else now before the end of the year. We had to cancel our trip to Greece last year because we didn’t have enough money, but we’re going to try to go there in September sometime.

Roll on September!wowhooo
