Almabel Meeting And Holiday, La Calamine

Calming Calamine

Advantages: Instant relief from itching, multi purpose, cheap, long shelf life
Disadvantages: Leaves white powdery residue on the skin

the majority of his skin right off. I couldn't bear it any longer and sent my dad off down to Boots in search of some Calamine Lotion. The lotion my dad came back with is Boots own variety. It comes in a clear glass 200ml bottle and cost 87p. I've never had to use Calamine Lotion before, so was unsure as to whether it was going to work or if it was merely an old wives tale. At 87p however, it was definitely worth a try - not a huge loss if it didn't and a massive gain if it did. To be honest, the label is a bit lacking in instruction "Apply to the affected area when required". To me this is a bit too vague. Having never used the product before, I wasn't sure how to apply it. I suppose you could pour some onto your hand and then dab it on the affected area, but I decided to put it onto cotton wool and apply it that way. It seemed the easiest ...

Review of Boots Calamine Lotion

LA CARABASSE - SIBLU CARAVAN SITE - FANTASTIC FAMILY HOLIDAY

Advantages: LOTS FOR YOUNG CHILDREN TO DO - CHEAP HOLIDAY TOO!
Disadvantages: NOISY AT NIGHT - POOL ON THE COLD SIDE IN THE DAY - YOU WILL GAIN A STONE EATING THE FRENCH FOOD!

This is a camping site owned by Siblu (the French arm of Haven Holidays) and is situated on the coast of The South of France, near to Cap D'Agde. If you are lucky enough to fly from Bristol then you can fly into Beziers. There are 3 different grades of caravan that you can hire. I went to La Carabasse with my two children aged 8 and 11. I booked flights separately through Ryanair and booked the holiday itself with Tesco Clubcard vouchers. If you don't have vouchers then it may be cheaper to book with a caravan owner onsite, than with Siblu direct. I wasn't keen on driving, so the receptionist at La Carabasse gave me a number for someone living on site, who I paid to come and collect us from Nimes airport (1 hour away). On arrival they were very kind and used a golfing type buggy to take our luggage to our caravan. The caravan ...

Review of La Carabasse

Holiday Inn 4 **** Hotel at Marne La Vallee

Advantages: Close to Disneyland Parks, Village and Bus and Train Stations
Disadvantages: Around 27 miles from central Paris

This hotel is only a mile away {if that} from the Disney Parks, village and bus and train stations. Reached by a free pink shuttle bus {no.54} of which runs every 10-15 minutes stopping at hotels my travel explorers, Hotel Kyriad, Movenpick Dream Castle and Holiday Inn. The Holiday Inn Hotel itself is very clean and has a small shop selling gifts and phonecards, check in was easy and very quick. We stayed in room 3303 of which was a very large double bed, very clean and tidy. As we stayed here for our honeymoon for 11 nights the room was cleaned and the bed made with fresh linen everyday.There was even a complimentery bowl of fruit waiting for us in our room. The food however at the hotel is expensive and not very good in the evening, my husband however said that the breakfast was excellent. There is also an ice machine ...
