Heading to Palmy, anything to do?

Postby andrewgreen1000 » Wed May 18, 2011 12:47 am

Hey guys flying to Palmy on 10th of June for a 21st on the fri, fly back sun mid morning, but have most of Sat day/night free. Anything special that I (and maybe the GF) should do/go keeping in mind that I wont have a car to get anywhere.

Funnily enough I'm needing to kill about 6 hours in Palmy due to a promo thing for work.

Apparently there arent many flights in from Auckland or out to Christchurch. I'm there for a small 1 hour presentation and have to stay from about 8.30 till 5 :P

Are they open during the day? Might be some good hangover food? But I don't think any burgers will live up to the one I had earlier in the month in the US. Went to a place called the Pumphouse in Longmont CO, had a burger called the heart attack, and to be honest I think I just about did!

We have another couple of friends that are coming up too, so she could always hang with them while we go for a spin? Could make a small TS meet perhaps, I'd be keen to see some of your guys cars.
