Did Cape Town for 2 weeks in February View attachment 29055

What are the notes?

Bitter with changeable spicy undertones and a bad aftertaste?

Well most of the forum just live for a taste of that

As random towns go Lincoln is quite nice, especially at the top of the aptly named ‘Steep Hill’.

Love the place.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Love the place.

Nice little stadium as well, enjoyed the game we went to watch (not CCFC).

Found myself in Lincoln during a steampunk festival on an acid fuelled road trip, really nice place. Must go back sober.

Class, this is Mr Shmmeee. Don’t go near him. That is all.

Any recommendations for Seville?

Going solo in May and booking a hostel

Given the shite weather over the German neck of the woods (and with seemingly little chance of improvement in the foreseeable) we've now taken ourselves off to France, and have just passed St Etienne on the way to a bit of Med sun.
Just parked up for a spot of lunch and coffee. It feels warmer (and drier) already.

We're going to overnight just outside Le Puy-en-Valey tonight and push on in the morning.
En-route (tomorrow) we'll either pass through Millau, for views of the bridge, or, pay the toll and go over the bridge.
Undecided - but being a tight git, not paying sounds better, and also means you actually get to see it.
Dilemmas.

Try Cadiz nearby, lovely historic little city within reach of Seville.

 

[stevefloyd]

1 week cruise around the Norwegian Fjords in July , 2 week cruise round the canaries in October

How did you afjord that?

 

[Kneeza]

That's one mutha of a bridge.
We decided on a couple of nights in Millau. Surprisingly nice town.

80 days or so till we go away, left it too late to develop a six pack . Might as well try to trim the barrel a bit

Supposed to be going away Monday, postponed honeymoon from May 2020.

But Mrs Wisdom may need a quick trip to hospital, so who knows if we're actually going(!)

Well it's bound to go badly if I set off Monday, as apparently the start date is Sunday(!)

An easy mistake to make!

Postponed from May 2020 too. Have a feeling it's cursed(!)

You do have to start wondering, hopefully it will all work out

Been looking at Turkey but have always heard mixed reviews.

What’s everyone’s thoughts and any suggestions on an area to stay for me and the Missus that isn’t the Turkish Magaluf but still has a bit of life?

Best way to travel.

Been going since 2001, love the county, not as cheap as then but still live the people and the holidays we enjoy there.

Been to Oludeniz twice and really liked it (last time about 10 years ago), quite chilled, great food. A blue lagoon. Hisaronu up the hill is a bit livelier. Would recommend it.

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

A hectic 17 days in Orlando and Miami last year. Looking forward to an 11 night relaxing break in Crete this year, Lamb Kleftico and Mythos galore

 

[LastGarrison]

Not strictly a holiday as it’s for work but off to Uzbekistan in a couple of weeks which will be another new country to tick off the list.

Been to Oludeniz, Kusadasi and Marmaris

Marmaris reasonably lively but enjoyed it, bad experience in Kusadasi but loved Oludeniz and would go back there again

Eagle Beach, Aruba.

The one country I would love to go back to again, never seen beaches like it in my life (Eagle beach being the most picturesque closely followed by Baby beach in the south of the island)

Somehow managed to get into Fred restaurant which is rated #1 on Trip Advisor. $100 a head at the time (2017) but the best dining experience of my life!

I’m in Krakow now, great place for a couple of days, it’s not taking my mind off Saturday though.
great squares, bars and food

 

[Tommo1993]

Haven’t given a moments thought about the game on Saturday. Too deep in the holiday blues! Only the thought of booking another big holiday for next year is keeping me positive.

The House of Beer bar is superb there if you like craft beer. Some lovely restaurants in the Jewish quarter as well. Brilliant city.

 

[Mild-Mannered Janitor]

Right next to that bar, going tomorrow, will help with sleep right now and maybe try Jewish quarter tomorrow night as well

You doing the Auschwitz thing or just the pleasant stuff? Love just standing around in the main square. Great city
