Perhaps more interesting than strange. These two stayed in G5A before the McCanns. They booked with Thomas Cook, so it seems that the apartments were interchangeable between the various tour operators? Also, they had a daily cleaner, unlike Mark Warner guests. Finally, they booked a two bedroom apartment just for the two of them.
On the 14th of April of 2007, in the company of my partner, June HUGHES, we travelled from Glasgow airport to Portugal for a one week holiday.
We effected the reservation with the Thomas Cook travel agency; a week of holidays in the Ocean Club, Praia da Luz.
It was only myself and June in the apartment and for this reason we did not have any contact with the Creche or child services. We only breakfasted in the apartment and would dine always outside the resort. We never used any restaurants in the Ocean Club.
The only people in the immediate areas of the apartment were the gardeners, whom I saw three times during the week and the cleaning woman who would come every day.
