How not to start a holiday

I remember my first trip to Salou, the second my then 4 year old son was on the beach near a big rope pyramid climbing construction. Turning around to run back to us he ran straight into one of the ropes, removing a fair amount of skin from his face. I felt so sorry for him thinking it would ruin his holiday.

But nothing was going to put him off and he had a thoroughly good time...although it was a couple of years before he ventured near those ropes again.
