Good to see we're now attracting cerebral and educated people like yourself Dany. Makes a change from getting stuck with people from the very shallow end of the gene pool. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The preparatory appointment was just with the anaesthetist to run through the results of the tests and ask a few more questions around dentures or crowns and checking what medication I was on and medical history of my immediate family. One thing that they didn't do here was take any swabs to check for MRSA, which they did in the UK when I had a general anaesthetic there. and there's always a Covid test now as well 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well turns out I’m still only grey in a strip down the centre of my head. I look like I’d be a good fit for someone.. Edit- I’m 51 not 50, it’s ok to start forgetting that stuff now right? Lol, my wife was like that . I used to call her a Mallen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Observatory itself has no availability until February 2025 and is €519 per night. Not sure I’d want to stay overnight at that altitude, last time it gave me crushing head pains and I’d already acclimatised to the 1500 metre mark prior so a straight up to 2800 metres doesn’t much appeal. There are hotels/apartments down at the bottom of the cable car and thats over 1000 metres lower which would be better on the the ol’ red cells and kinder to the wallet! But does the cable car still run after dark ie would you get to see the stars?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
