    margarita isle

    Not good news Olga. The main agent has moved on and has put me in touch with the developer directly. He has been busy trying to find another investor to replace a previous one that was a victim of the credit crunch. His management of my expectations consits of sending several negative reports...

    Arrivals in January 2008 - Northeast Brazil

    Dotty. Yes I agree although we didn't go in to negotiation mode !!!. I hadn't really thought about the pool but on reflection it would have been better nearer the café bar. It was also a bit small. Still. I'll keep a close eye on phase 2. Probably getting a bit off thread here. k

    Arrivals in January 2008 - Northeast Brazil

    Arrivals in January 2008 - Northeast Brazil

    Mr Broad. You are spot on !! We have just come back from two weeks in Ponta Negra and I thought it was a fantastic holiday destination. The coast line is awesome and we totally enjoyed the trips that were on offer. Also where else can you swim in a sea that's almost hot ?. The atmosphere in...

    Grand Natal Golf Goes Bankcrupt!

    Yeah. I added 'Donkeys' to the story because I knew you would like to use that old joke again. I also added 'Camels' just in case you had an appropriate variation !! If a lot of staff have been dismissed then I guess I can partly understand the lack of enthusiasm. Anyway we got to the site...

    Golfing in North East Brasil

    Winter for those countries is winter for most golfing destinations for Europe at the moment. This is key point for me. Sunshine golf in the winter is limited. The Med is OK but weather can still be variable. Canaries: yawn Madera: perhaps but windy and variable Cape Verde: promising but...

    Golfing in North East Brasil

    ok I'll change the letting brief from 'surrounded with golf courses' to 'surrounded by softly undulating landscaped gardens' ....where you may just spot an occasional European smacking a small ball !! K

    Anyone Looked at Other Countries in South America?

    I have bought at the la Ensenada development which is under construction. Currently the two bed townhouses are at $103K. It's a big development with all the facilites on site aimed mostly at the American tourist market so the standard needs to be spot on. Just after I bought they announced the...
