You need a Schengen visa. You should get one without any real problens.

My wife and I went to Portugal in 2013 and Spain in 2014. On each occasion she applied for and aquired a Schengen visa.

Where do you live?

Hold on a sec. So if you live in The Falkland Isles and want a Schengen visa you need to go to London to apply??

Good point.


But if you live in the Isle of Man, then yes you most certainly do.

Im no

im here in Cumbria by the Lake district.

Nice. We spent a day there a few weeks ago. Bowness.

That will be the Spanish Consulate in Edinburgh then.

Wow that great. You already have a wonderfull summer vacation by the Lakes? Where here in Barrow in Furness since my husband working in BAE system.
By the way How long it will take johnAsh? How long is the process? What documents needed?
Ohhhh before that let me great you a happy Fathers Day ......

I have worked at BAE a few times, I have never seen the nuclear submarines they are building there though, I would very much like to though.

Ask the hubby if you can have a day or two in the Lake District on your way home, you'll love the scenery for certain.

Bowness Upon Windermere was nice. Lots of Japanese tourists that day. Took the nipper to the Beatrix Potter Peter Rabbit Place.

Once the application is in, it just takes about a week.

Japanese tourist amuse me, all those cameras they have

Is the Peter Rabbit place a themed house?

Yes. Beatrix Potter was from that neck of the woods. Some people have developed this themed "house" with excellent models reflecting he stories and artwork in her books. Not everyones cup of tea, but I thought it was very well done. Bit pricey mind.

If anyone is a lover of Beatrix Potter's stories I would say pay it a visit.

Mrs Ash found the Japanese tourists amusing too.

There tourism enthusiasm is second to none, they take pictures of everything, I wonder if they get home and say what the hell did I take that picture for.

Dont see many here, even during TT week.

Interesting to read the contrasting reviews, just goes to show that you cannot please everyone all the time. I think that people expect too much from these places sometimes, they forget that these places are aimed at young children, they review like its the adults that have to be catered for and pleased and not the tots.

Yes. Cant please everyone. Like I say, I thought it was a bit pricey, but the artwork was very good.
