when we went on holiday to Palma Nova in february last year, my dd then 2, was walking along the beach front at tea time and we were in front of two lovely elderly spanish ladies chatting away...dd hearing them and recognising a few words, hopped of wall she was walking on went up to them waved and said "HOLA!"..they were almost in tears, went into shop and bought her sweets..so then dd, now realising that being cute and saying Hola wins people round proceeded to do the same to two elderly spanish gentlemen walking along beach...they laughed their socks of and kept saying how beautiful, how wonderful
