    Currently sat in Prague, been here a couple of days and I’m a bit underwhelmed to be honest. Getting the train to Berlin tomorrow for a few days and hopefully I enjoy it.

    I'm in St Paul's Bay, at least that's what the hotel reckons, I would place it on the sea front at Bugibba. Been scoping the place out and found a sports bar 5 mins walk away that shows premiership games.

    When we go to Malta we usually end up that way so I've got an idea where you're roughly at. Sliema is roughly a half an hour bus trip

    Aye, we've been a few times and usually stay this way. Love to get the bus to St Julians and walk round to Sliema then hop on the ferry to Valetta.

    Well I’m heading to sunny South Shields on Sunday. Sick of heat, humidity and sunshine, not to mention Trump etc. ( actually just had 2 solid days of rain from outer bands of hurricane lol) Looking forward to cool, damp, sea fret kind of days. Got my ticket for the Wolves match too! :emoticon-0140-rofl:

    Airport parking has become ridiculously expensive, it’s actually cheaper for us to book a return taxi. Used to be able to get codes but even they are few and far between.
    I prefer to take the car as we land late at night and have been dropped in it by a taxi a few times. Nowt worse than standing in the cold and rain waiting for a taxi, going to have to just bite the bullet and pay it. £115 for a week is robbery

    We used to do the same but like you say VAR parking has gone through the roof! The flight times from the Canaries are not the best and get back here in the early hours so we decided to get a taxi, least that way I can still chill a bit with a few beers rather than just waiting to get picked up from the hotel

    The drop off charge is £4 I think now as well so if family drop you off it still costs nearly £10
