Just bought me and the mrs tickets for this thing https://elrowtown.com/en/london Been a while since i been to a festival thing so should be good fun. Holiday wise not sure yet, i was gonna head to the isle of man for TT week with my old man and lil brother but its dewr as **** and i cba ive seen it all before anyway. I wouldn't mind going back to turkey tbh but she'll want somewhere different this time. Greece maybe. Whats your plans?
Spain this year, not France. Missing it already, but hopefully a trip through Spain is something different from the usual Atlantic coast side of France. Heading down from Santander to a place called Creixel, which is a bit south of Barcelona. Will have a day or two in Barca, but mainly be relaxing on the med beach. There doesn't seem to be much going on round there really. Will have a stop in Zaragoza on the way down.
you driving down then? It's a nice journey through the Pyranees, but don't do it in a convertible without wearing a hat.
Taking the van down, yes. Not a car, so is a ****er of a drive. Was thinking of a stop in Rioja region, or maybe Pamplona itself, on the way back. Will have to see if I've got a spare day.
Got a wedding in Ibiza end of June which should be boujis. Seville in September when the **** kids are back at school and the prices halve. Trying to do more of Spain in general.
I studied near Benicassim a bit down the coast from Barcelona. That whole coast is great before you get too far south and it’s full of Brits with Union Jack towels eating fry-ups.
Going Budapest on Thursday for my cousin’s stag do, back on Sunday. Then gonna look a proper break around August/ September, somewhere in the Med ideally. I’m thinking Croatia/ Greece/ Cyprus but Spain could also be on the agenda as my Uncle’s recently bought a house in Los Alcazares so got a free holiday excluding flights.
**** Turkey, cheap and nasty place. Why not venture further afield and try the weed in India or Jamaica? Anything but Europe man, it’s ****.
I’ve heard Istanbul is good if you don’t support Leeds. Went to Fetiyhe (probably misspelt) as a kid and it was great. Also forgot I’ve got Albania in July.
My mate went to Egypt and said you just can't walk down a ****ing street, they just don't **** off and leave you alone. I have been all over the internet looking at holiday destinations to avoid and the number 1 has consistently been Egypt. Dirty, loud, desperate for money and overrated.
Seen some brochers the other day, didn't realise how nice the Albanian coast is, looks great, cheap too.
Yeah I can't say Egypt has ever appealed to me, I just imagine it as you described. It's like going to Orlando and claiming to love the American life, Villas that have been built on orange groves, some guy named disney and full of brits. Oh and every large person in a mobility scooter because they visited Shoney's too many times... please log in to view this image
We'll be way further north than that, nearer Tarragona. Still got the likes of Salou nearish if you need fish and chip eating brits, but won't be paying a visit. This place looks a bit too quiet for me if anything, there seems to be **** all around bar and restaurant wise. As an aside, my Mrs' best mate, who has been left by here husband, is joining us. With her two kids. This at least give me the opportunity to **** off down the beach and find a nice bar with tapas so I don't have to listed to her endless whining about her bloody husband.
Dunno bout other areas but Antalya was great, nice town, cheap food and booze, nice beaches and parks, good transport, good people. Free dog companions too if u want Istanbul ive heard is horrible amd overcrowded. Like a lot of places though you'll get annoying beggars, just ignore and they soon **** off
We went to Alanya, food was ****, locals in town were hostile, waiters, barmen etc only seemed interesting finding Kurt's to give a good kicking to and when the cops came, it was the Kurds that got arrested and most likely got beaten again.
