I did it via email as I did not see "the good stuff" on the menu of the website.

Hope they can comply.
Noted, Peter, thanks! I'm just so sick of this chocolate and nuts collection from Williams-Sonoma. :wink:

I have a VERY sweet tooth and poor taste buds and love good old Cadbury's dairy milk.

Not even sure if that qualifies AS chocolate.

This may be breaching the sanctuary rule, but the word 'holidays' does appear in the thread title, so hopefully I'll be forgiven.

I'm planning to go to Portugal for a few days next month and I would really there to be an erg in the hotel I'm staying in. I haven't booked yet, but the hotels I'm looking at all have gyms.

I remember seeing a thread somewhere about a website that allows you to 'find-an-erg', but I think this operates only in the US. Does anyone know if there's a similar European site or, failing that, has anyone stayed in a nice hotel in Vilamoura that has a gym with an erg in it?

The Finnish Santa is the ONLY true one. I'm so happy that you chose the right one!

Thanks for sending me the link Peter.

Unfortunately, it doesn't cover Europe and when I went into the international section and clicked on the Portuguese dealer I got onto a website in Portuguese which does not seem to have any information on the location of ergs.

I tried googling, but no luck.

Any suggestions, or does anyone know a hotel in Vilamoura with an erg?
