People tend to get put off thinking it will be expensive. Ok, the flights aren't cheap but compare the hotels, food and beer in that part of the country and the overall price ain't bad, comparable to most places in Europe. Am thinking of Thailand again next year or Vietnam for first time.
Thinking of booking Bratislava for a city in March for partners birthday. Anyone been? I've been Prague, Riga, Budapest, Amsterdam and Barcelona.
Do it mate, it's a great place. I was there in February, 4th time. It compares well with Prague and Riga and cheap. I have never been a fan of Amsterdam or Barcelona. Other great places to consider are krakow, Gdansk and Wroclav.
You really shouldn’t be calling them that, I’ve heard some folk spend a lot of money for their company!
Early bird prices I guess....Also, not staying on Hong Kong island probably saves a few bob. My hotel in Kowloon. It's literally two hundred yards from ferry point going across Victoria Harbour to HK island, and that costs about £1 a time...
Yeah I’ve been. It’s fabulous. Ex won a 10k river cruise back in 2017, went along the Danube. Only got a day or so there, but beautiful place, amazing architecture, loved the antmosphere there and definitely a place I would love to explore more.
Talking of which one of my oldest friends is currently skippering a yacht through the Northwest Passage. He’s in constant contact with us due to Starlink and all the mates group (all at school together so 45-50 years mate group) are bombarding him with Titanic posts, gifs etc due to the constant ice he’s navigating through. However scenery is amazing, lucky bigger, we’re all envious.
