The Billionaire's Yacht in Lloret!

There has been a lot of talk in town about a 'super yacht' which has been seen out at sea just off  Lloret beach. The problem has now been solved and I can now tell you the yacht is owned by Andrei Melnichenko, born in 1972 in Belarus. He co founded the MDM bank which became one of Russia's largest private banks in only 10yrs, he is also a member of the international elite 'under 40' Billionaire's club.

Lloret Weather Latest

Just a quick weather update - It has reached 32ºc in Lloret today (34ºc in Blanes) with not a cloud all day! Its now 4.30pm and the current temperature is 29ºc with a very slight breeze making it feel more comfortable. With these hot temperatures it is very hard to keep your cool so drink plenty of water so you don't dehydrate, use plenty of sun cream, the higher the factor the better. Using a high factor will not stop you from getting a tan but will prevent you from the harmful sun rays, and remember to reapply after a dip in the pool.
Talking of pools, here's a few pictures from some of the apartments and hotels in Lloret..fancy a dip?

Also a handy tip, buy a fan just like the older Spanish ladies use, they really do the job of cooling you down!
