I only went tried to double-check, yet again, due to the comment by Luz, in response to a post by Sadie
The Disappearance of Madeleine McCann from a holiday apartment at Ocean Club, Praia da Luz, Portugual on 3 May 2007. / Re: So how did the abductor enter and leave the apartment?

I understand that in the Uk people can hardly differentiate the difference between yards and meters.
I'm fed up with reading that the restaurant was 50 m, 100 m.. away. Either you all live in dolls houses or your vision of distances has suffered a twist.
The back of the apartment to the restaurant is at the minimum 200 m. From that to the front door is more than 500 m.
"Within earshot" when you are in a noisy restaurant and your children are more than 500 m away inside an apartment, in a room whose window is in the opposite direction?
There is no lamp street close to the back stairs that lead to the sitting room; There is no deposition that the sitting room lights were on (which would be ridiculous when they argued, when trying to impinge that they left the patio doors open was because the children had a light sleep and opening the front door with the key could awake them - a poor excuse since G.McC said to have used the front door and the key); there is no document that attests that the curtains were attempted to be closed.
Geeeeeeezzzzzzzzzz
....you people are too creative, aren't you?
Luz later admitted that she had exaggerated, but her calculations still seem to be quite different to those of Google Earth:

I have already admitted I exaggerated in the distance between the Tapas and the front room (where the children were staying) at 5A. But it is not 77.83 m, it's 270m and there is a building with walls between the room and the patio with the pool and all the shrubs where the Tapas was located. Insisting that the children could be heard, even if they came to the back room that was at least 150 m away (through the reception and up the stairs), is throwing sand into everyone's eyes. But that is your appointed job, I guess.
Your Lady Kate didn't feel she could be heard from the balcony of the back room to the Tapas, what makes you think little children in distress could?!
