(snip)... dont appear anywhere, so its anyones guess how they got into the Ocean Club ...(snip)

That's easy, probably booked by the other adult Merc.

because as you have told us..in portugal it was the mccanns what dunnit

That doesn't explain the non-presence of smithman on the official portuguese language webpages of a multi-million operation Dave.

List of all holidaymakers from various dates up to two weeks before and two or more after)  with either M Warner or T Cook or there as owners of the properties (like the Moyes, who are there on page 633)

The Boyds dont appear anywhere, so its anyones guess how they got into the Ocean Club, perhaps as guests of a private owner? They apparently had been spotted in the "playground picture" said to be taken on 2 May (see pamalams site and search for Boyd)

Eta here you go:

Thank you for that. I now see the Moyes name on the guest list.
Perhaps the booking was in the name of the older lady pictured holding the baby.

There were rumours of people being in apartments but not being known about. Not all the apartments were under the Ocean Club either. Whether it was possible to still use the facilities I don't know.

[pathfinder73]

Good question. No Boyds at the Ocean Club that week as far as I can see.

I read the Boyd's are in this photo. If so, it's proof they were there.

Yes that is what I meant, different surname, the 3+2 booking is possible to find but there's no point.

There are some nice clouds in it ; top left between the trees

what the Boyd's have done is obviously sensationalised a story for a magazine .....seriously whizzing up and down the water slide ...is that suppose to mean they were playing in the water .....in k mcc book [page 60] she mentions nothing of what Boyd's say ...only that it rained and they were only at park for an hour

Boyd's say
 kmcc was relaxed on a sun lounger ...maddie was wearing a sun hat...a little pink top playing in the sun with other children

what she has described ...playing football for an hour ...playing round the pool playing an the water slide...seems like most of the afternoon

yet when all this was happening after an hour ....maddie was at the creche...so what is wrong ...Boyd's/creche records

or it could have been the sunday the Boyd's were talking about ...there is no proof it was the Wednesday ..they day before maddie disappeared

[Carana]

Quite.

Whoever posted notes (Albym?) seems to have noted quite a few photos of Madeleine.

The pink tracksuit one is noted as being taken on 2 May, but I'm not sure where that information came from.

The "playground man" pic was taken that day, according to Bruno Press.

(p. 8 - ref 01256702 and 01256698)

If so, there must have been a bit of sunshine poking through at some point on Wed pm.

There is absolutely overwhelming evidence that these three photographs were taken late afternoon, Saturday 28th April:

1) Playground photo - Madeleine playing with Madeleine
2) and 3) Madeleine by the Wendy House.

As xtina says, we have the similarities of clothing worn by three people in shot with what they were wearing in the plane journey earlier that day. Plus the scenes, shadows, weather etc. are all wholly consistent with what the McCanns say about their first day (NOTE: Apart from Madeleine allegedly jumping straight into a cold pool).

That only leaves us with two other highly disputed photos of Madelene that week:

1. The Last Photo
2. The Tennis Balls Photo.

Referring back to Carana's post:

A. Albym's note about the photos being on Wednesday is clearly wrong, probably based on something he read elsewhere

B. The Bruno Press were also clearly wrong

C. So was First Magazine wrong to publish false claims by the Boyds that their boy Louie was 'playing football with Madeleine for over an hour', they were whizzing down the waterslide together [there was no waterslide there and Wednesday was cold and rainy anyway]m and that Mrs Boyd and Kate had a chat together.

Putting 2 and 2 together and making 4, it looks as though very early on someone was pushing false information about these three Saturday photos into the media       

Sorry, this doesn't make any sense to me.

Which 3 photos?

And what on earth is "Madeleine playing with Madeleine" supposed to mean?

Should be "Gerry McCann playing with Madeleine". The three photos are:

The playground photo - sun shining

The two by the Wendy House - probably taken some time after the playground as some clouds were bubbling up over the town late afternoon (see background of playground photo).

'Last Photo' and 'Tennis Balls Phot both debatable.

None more of Madeleine that week ever shown

Or, perhaps, utterly fabricated it

One point at a time.

When was this photo supposed to have been taken, according to Hall and his researchers?

[misty]

Or, perhaps, utterly fabricated it

The magazine article was published 19/5/2007. The Boyds describe Madeleine's pink top & sun hat, as seen in the last photo.
The last photo was not released until 24/5/2007.
I'm not quite sure how the Boyds could have conspired to fabricate their story.

When was that playground photo taken?
