Off Topic Holidays

Honestly
All the great sights of europe
Are absolute clusterfucks in the summer
Like human ant farms

 

Im a total nerd and kinda wanna go czech to visit the real life kingdom come places

 

Me too, about 28 years ago. We stayed in Pont Aven, but drove around quite a bit, loved it and the seafood was awesome.

 

Egypt having some problems just now, anyone cancelled or thinking of it?

 

The current ms red is hilarious sometimes, my lad has just bought a new motor home, £75 grand and she says ooh that’s fantastic we could borrow it. Both myself and my lad look at each other, not a ****ing chance luv lol. She was crestfallen when he said “ er no mum.” His first trip starts tomorrow to go feed penguins in Lincolnshire. In summer they are just gonna stock it up and set off without a plan, drive through the tunnel and explore Europe. He’s no idea how long they’ll be gone for, where the fook they’ll visit. I’d love to do that but not with the current ms red…..I think they may visit his sister in Spain on their travels….

 

Went on a school trip to Mont San Michel.

Seemed very exotic then!

 

I'll say so, we thought our trips to bev road swimming baths were an adventure.

 

Seems I went at the right time before it got commercialised, it is a beautiful place.

 

Thanks for posting this rovertiger. Well worth a watch.

 

Glad you enjoyed it TC, they were brave men.
Did you think Clarkson added to the story?

 

Did a good job in the main, with a couple of brief insensitive asides I thought however.

 

Every school trip ever in the 1970s

 

ST in the garden it’s bloody roasting

 

Off to Valencia and Barcelona in a couple of weeks...been to Barcelona before,but never Valencia....anyone got any tips/ideas of what to do and expect?....cheers

 

No…so this pretty unhelpful, but my Daughter went and it looked really nice with great art galleries etc, so I do fancy it.
I’ll look forward to your review!

 

Valencia is great
Load of tapas bars
Go to the bull ring it’s more a museum now
Great beach with loads of restaurants along it
Great architecture
Go to the indoor market try a cuttle fish sarny
Just a really chilled place
Go see Valencia play in a fantastic old stadium

 

Same here, a bike ride to Hornsea Mere was our day out, with jam sandwiches and a bottle of water.
My North Hull school used to run an annual trip to Farndale, I didn't even know where it was, but I knew the five day trip cost money, I didn't even take the letter to our parents home and slung it straight in the bin, Someone posted one of the letters on facebook last week, the cost for five days away was just over £2. It may as well have been £2m.

 

We used to go to Farndale with school back in the 70’s. Used to go to, or stay at a place called Blubberhouses. It was a village linked to the whaling industry in Whitby.

 

Blubberhouses is between Harrogate and Skipton, not sure it has links to Whitby (though the name suggests it should!).
