The statements can not be took as gospel ....they are full if contradictions inconsistency's ...
there is one thing ....that is clear no one seems to have seen maddie much apart from her being shut away in the creche ...when all their children having fun with parents
even Diane Webster who's statement is like ....doesn't remember anything ....says
"So it might have been Sunday to Thursday. Err what else did I do, I went to the beach err on two or three occasions with err Fiona and Dave, well Fiona and the girls and sometimes Jane and Russell or, I remember Jane, I think some of the times the boys were off doing their windsurfing and sailing and whatever, err I know Kate and Gerry were very into the tennis err so I wouldn’t say that, that I saw a lot of all of them during the day, it was usually in the evening that we’d meet up.”
"Who else was there around that time?”

"Who else? Well it was, it was all of us err apart from Kate and Gerry and their children,
the mccs it seems did nothing with their children ....after the Sunday ....just had an obsession with tennis
Can I just answer the last part, the McCann's went to the resort to have a break as well as the children, Madeleine was asked [Kate's book] if she wanted to go to the crèche as if she didn't she didn't have to, as it turned out she loved it.
The children had been on holiday Easter time just before their trip to Portugal, they had been to the beach at that time.
There is nothing wrong with parents taking their children on holiday and having a break themselves. I don't find this selfish at all, the children had had one holiday and at that age they don't expect a great deal, the beach and playing with other children is wonderful for them.
The McCann's took the children to the beach, the weather wasn't exactly great. They watched Madeleine playing mini tennis, they played at the play area with them. Apart from this the crèche took them on outings and Madeleine had a trip on a boat.
It sounds as if the holiday was fine to me.
