5 best things: the area, the people, the culture, the weather and finally, you have found the place you want to spend more time next time around.
5 worst things: Only 5 days left before you have to go home, only 4 days left, only 3 days ... do you get the drift!

Have a great time, be imaginative, get out and about, recognise the different values and the culture and have fun!

Post by: Paul and Denise Lowther on April 09, 2010, 21:17:47 PM: Great reply PKHughes100. I'll go with your tips. My parents love Calis Beach and want to share it with us this year. We're all looking forward to the experience and from what I've read on the forum we don't expect it to be our last visit.
How hot should we xpect it to be in the last two weeks in june? Kids are looking forward to visiting a water park, are there any good ones locally?
I guess I'd better stop asking questions and look deeper into other sections of the forum. Thanks to all..

4) Food
5) So much to see and do in the area.

Worst -
