Early 80's - was 24 25 mainly - one of my mates stayed out there one summer - had a job handing out (nightclub) flyers on the beach in Rhodes (town) ... we went out to join up with him and took it from there ... was such a good crack we did it the next year - last time I was 29 just me and one mate - late Sept early October - that's when we did Crete which was still very hot even that late in the season ... and accomodation was ridiculously cheap ...
Last time we were in The Camargue, there were Flamingo's everywhere, now the tracks that take you to the lakes are all gated off, apparently they had a severe drought 4 years ago , and some of the salt lakes still haven't recovered, managed to find a few today.
Back from an All Inclusive in La Pineda few weeks ago (Along from where Chief was staying) Theme Parks, Water Parks, Beaches, Ancient Roman ****e, Barcelona ****e all close at hand. 2 hour flight from UK, cracking weather and loads of good places to eat. Plenty Looky Looky guys on the strip offering everything from Ray Bien Sun glasses, Christian Door Savage aftershave, Abbibas Trainers and weed/coke to any ****er that will listen weather with family or not
Mrs luv spends a fortune on the Looky Looky guys junk, sunglasses, beach towels, bags anything really.
After lots of emotional blackmail, ended up taking the wife and daughter into Paris today. 35min train ride, €8 return.
Paris is nice in places just avoid getting into a fight with American homeless people. That's another story.
Today was the 5th time I've been, the last time I said would be the last (2018) full of scum everywhere, especially around the Eifel tower, looks like they've had a cleanse for the Olympics. Some parts were closed still, saw 5 members of the American paralympic team.
Some homeless guy started on me saying I was laughing at him (I wasn't) got to the point where I had to get aggressive for him to get the message.
No we would have done if we stayed longer but I got back last night covered Milan, Florence and Tuscany
