Dr Totman: Apartment block stayed in and direction walked

[Holly Goodhead]

My understanding is that Dr T stayed in block 4 along with his wife and 2 young children.

The MW brochure makes clear the night crèche is only available to parents dining at Millennium or Tapas restaurants

JT observed 'Tannerman' walking across FGM at the top of ADS, away from 5A.  Many say if 'Tannerman' and Dr T are one and the same then how come Dr T was walking in the 'wrong direction'. 

I've assumed, rightly or wrongly, if Dr T and 'Tannerman' are one and the same then Dr T, staying in block 4, was simply en route dropping his daughter off at crèche before heading off to Millenium to join the rest of his party: wife and Weinbergers?

It has a extra note saying "Please note that the activity list will only be showing 2nd week but guest requires two weeks childcare from 28th April".

I take that as Totmans wanted to use the creche facilities  for the two weeks but may not be in accommodation for the first week.

I don't think the note has anything to do with accomodation. The 'activity list' would be a list showing which activities people had booked. That explains why Cat Baker was able to prepare things before the children arrived;

I got to know Gerry and Kate McCann on the Sunday morning, 29.04.2007, in the Minis Club. They brought the children and as it was their first day of holidays the normal procedure was that they were allocated a childcare worker. I had previously written the children's bracelets which included their name, allergies and relevant information.

Obviously there was more detail provided by the parents when booking than can be seen on the Arrivals List. The note suggests that because the booking system dealt in weeks, there was a glich which prevented the activities from showing in the first week when a 2 week holiday had been booked. If you look at the Reap booking below the Totman one there's a note there saying childcare is needed for the first week. These notes appear when clients are staying for more than one week.

So there is some doubt about this.

I think so.  But it is not sufficiently explained.  Julian Totman is reported to play tennis with Gerry, so it is not like he didn't join in activities in the first week of his holiday.

The doubt exists only in your mind in my opinion. There's absolutely no evidence that the Totman's stayed anywhere than in block 4.

Thanks for the info but I can't see any evidence Dr T stayed anywhere other than G4M situated in block 4/denoted by the 4 in G4M.

I don't understand how the booking of various activities/services over the 2 weeks has any bearing on apartment stayed in. 

Why would he stay in one apartment for one week and another for the other week?

I agree. 

How are the apartments numbered?  The McCanns were in 5A: 5 denotes the block and the A I assume is first apartment bottom corner whereby the letters ascend alphabetically with the Olfields in 5B etc. 

The Totmans were in G4M so we have the number prefixed by a letter unlike 5A, 5B etc?

Thanks and we can see they were next door to their friends, the Weinbergers, in G4L.

The G stands for Garden, as the apartments are in the Garden area. Some apartments have a C for Club, which puts them near the Millenium.

The full number of the McCann's apartment was G5A shortened  to 5A.

In a way you are right, but we also have the sighting of him apparently walking away from Block 4.

I believe the OC is spread over 4 sites?  So each site has a name and the letter denotes such.

Crossing FGM at the top of ADS would put Dr T on course for dropping his daughter off at crèche before joining the rest of his party at Millennium?
