    hey all ...i wrote a reply the other day but i did it on my phone and it obviously didnt work ...we arrived yesterday the flight was ok no complaints at all ....as we dont have much money we are doing this as mse as we can ...a taxi from the airport to our hotel wouldve cost us 20 (sorry no pound sign on this) but we took the train and a tram for the pricely sum of 3.50 for the two of us so no complaints at all ...the trains here are great so clean and big and regular ...i could tell straight away i was no longer at home lol ...today we went to the salt mine which wouldve cost us 30 each ...we got the train for 1.25 for the two of us and got into the mine for 16.75 eachso we saved 12 each (train home at 1.25 as well) so it appears we are doing the rest of the week by public transport ...dont get me wrong we are still spending money but it is alot cheaper than we both thought it would be ...and the weather is just stunning ...will try and write again ...hope you are all well

    If you are using your iphone abroad, please turn it off you will end up with a massive bill.

    I asked this question as we are off to the states soon and was going to download a sat nav, plenty of MSEs have been stung by this ( free if using your WIFI though| but you have
    to turn the data download off)
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:
