Almeria Medio Maraton (merged threads)

Hi all and welcome back to the team Steve.

We have booked our flights (Cam, Gill, Marian and Myself).

Cam and myself have had some discussions about hotels. We liked the location of the CostaSol but preferred the breakfast at the Tryp Indalo ... but decided that a good breakfast is what would top our decision. Sorry but the hard toasted baguettes of last year were not appropriate fuel for a half marathon ..... or a post race hangover!!

So we need to find a cheapish hotel with a good breakfast buffet if possible or a breakfast cafe very close by.

Also what are peoples thoughts about hiring a car .... or two? We have talked about getting a small economical car between us girls so that we can drive out somewhere on Monday. Easyjet Cars are offering Fiat Polos for approx £25 a day which is very cheap between 3 or 4 people. Depending on where our hotel is situated a car could come in handy for Saturday afternoon/evening and getting to and from the race too. Plus if there are bigger numbers going this year so we need transport to and from the airport.

Simon and Mike B are considering coming also. It will be good to have Simon back on the team again and he is very keen now that the travelling has been cut down.
