I have always felt there is 'something' odd about the ice cream trip on the activity sheet, which was just after their return from the beach for the 5 ice creams on Tuesday lunchtime.

My understanding is the ice cream trip on the activity sheet was a trip to the beach..(an 'extra' that was paid seperately? )

In the 'Diagram of Events' that was created (apparently) using Catriona's statement she claimed the beach trips were only 15.30 -16.30 Tuesday and Wednesday.

(ETA- The above diagram shows Wednesday but the comments for the beach were the same for Tuesday)

What happened to the 'ice cream trip'? or am I mistaken and the ice cream trip was not a trip to the beach? (travel forums for MW Luz claimed the ice cream trip for the children was 'special'.)

I have always felt there was a link and that the McCanns trip to the beach for '5' ice creams (to show Madeleine alive?) was something to do with the immediate return for the ice cream trip on the creche activity sheet...So far I haven't found a reason or a link. (but always kept in mind that Catriona claims they accompanied the creche trips on more than one occasion)

Claims of three trips to the beach shows it was Tuesday Thursday (from Wednesday) and Friday (according to the sheet)

Wednesday at that time was 'Olympics grass time'.

Why didn't Catriona claim about the ice cream trip at 2.30pm at the beach or was it somewhere else they went?

I have to consider WHY the coincidence of the timing.

From what I understand, in 2007 they did not pay extra for the afternoon creche but paid for extra trips etc. If that is the case they would have known.

As I mentioned, I have not seen a link to 'why' but I have kept it on hold for now..

This was Tuesday...
...the maintenance men fixed the broken shutters....
...they showed Kate how to use the washing machine...
...Rachael saw Madeleine play tennis and claims it was the last time she saw her.....
...ROB, Jez and Gerry walked to the creche...
...Gerry signed Madeleine out but ROB did not sign Ella out...
...In the afternoon Gerry signed Madeleine in, ROB didn't sign Ella in(CAT signed Ella in at the same time as Gerry)
...Madeleine wasn't signed out...ROB signed Ella out.
Quiz night....
...Najoya saw noone leave the table for an hour
...Najoya did not remember seeing Kate or DP
...Empty setting at table (ROB?)(Kates diary says ROBs food BROUGHT up - indicating she was there?)
...Kate received flurry of phone calls between 10.16 and 10.27

...Approx three minutes later Mrs Fenn heard crying for one and quarter hours..
...Early morning calls the following morning
...Cleaner saw cot in room... both Kate and Gerry deny it was there.

In between all this there is a trip to the beach with buggys (that they supposedly didn't have) with a description of the 5 ice creams (why would you mention how many ice creams if it wasn't to establish how many people were present?) and a guitarist described in detail.

There is SOMETHING about that day and that trip to the beach that I haven't figured out yet....
