I’d just like to apologise to all posters after I said I love New York and how great it is
I confess I don’t live there and never have

Currently in Herceg Novi on the edge of Kotor Bay, Montenegro. The scenery is stunning as are the narrow winding streets and restaurants in the old town.
We've gone posh and have a hotel with private beach and pool, which is a good job as public areas are cram packed to the extent that by mid afternoon you wouldn't fit a postage stamp on the beach areas.
Decent restaurants, reasonable prices...highly recommend it.

Wow, have looked at there before and it looks amazing. I have been to Kotor a couple of times and love it.
Just got back from Butlins with the kids, bloody knackered . It has its faults, many of them- mainly involving feral chav kids most seemingly with brummy accents, and the place needs a deep deep deep clean , but you can’t knock the food, the entertainment , the pool and stuff for kids to do
Mine didn’t want to come home which says a lot , I enjoyed it but couldn’t handle another night on that mattress .

Always a good holiday,wherever you go,if the kids are gutted leaving
Sometimes you do what you can afford and it's great when the kids appreciate it...
Thing is it wasn’t cheap , paid for Que jumping , all you can eat food , spent best part of 2k all in seen some late all inclusive deals to Greece/ Spain for same …haha ,Always a good holiday,wherever you go,if the kids are gutted leaving

my kids are grumpy teenagers now but when they were around 8-12 they would choose Butlins or Centre parks over any exotic foreign holiday…anything to make them happy!
Had many many trips to skeggy.
They do a great winter wonderland at Christmas time, worth a visit
If you go all you can eat, everything. Curry, pasta, roast, pizza, veggie options, cheese board, soup , choice of about 8 puddings . Breakfast can be full English, continental , pancakes - fruit - only downside is greedy bastards taking too much at once , taking 12 slices of pizza at once when there’s a Que for it, it’s all topped up regular though
It’s great that we can go from Montenegro to Butlins in two posts , what a cultured bunch we are LOL
We sometimes get a caravan nowadays and with our kids being up in years we take the 3 youngest grandkids.Went to St Andrews last year,got a beautiful 3 bed van for £6-£700 and let them do what they wanted for a week.
They ran us ragged for the week and the 2 youngest lasses fought like cat and dog but they had a ball!! It's beautiful up there and if you play golf....Fill your boots,it's superb
I went there as a kid in the early 1980s. Rarely remember seeing my grandmother (who took us), apart from to get some cash to play the arcades... My sister and I were left to our own devices all day. Don't remember there being food there then (hence why I asked!), we had do it yourself dinners ... Tins of soup cooked over a single electric hob etc
I'm off camping next..
We went camping every year for a 17 year consecutive stretch with my 3 when they were growing up. You've not lived until you've spent a week in a tent with kids, sheltering from the pissing rain blowing through a fjord and escaping from mosquitoes the size of small birds.
I never realised how much I enjoyed it at the time as it's constant work.. setting up the tent in the rain, avoiding the Germans, the walk to the ****ter in the middle of the night, cooking food over a primus, saving drowning kids who've drifted too far out on kayaks, giving sour looks to the neighbours who've put their tent up too close, trying to pack down the car at the end. Looking forward to taking my grandchildren in the future if it happens.
You forgot to mention the hills.
Lovely place though in a nice area, nip over the border and do Dubrovnik but it's bloody expensive there now.
Was going to go to Dubrovnik for a day, but the traffic is Horrendous, (it took us 2hrs to do the airport transfer), so we're sticking to boat trips to avoid the roads.
SW3 is in London town.
