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.
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!
Bit harsh, some of them are passable and I'd be tempted during a drought.
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...
Was that Business class? I'm in economy, or maybe even the cargo bay.That's cheap, I used to pay £3,500 just for my Hong Kong flights.
Again, I can recommend. Very laid back and some great quirky bars.
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.
My uncle Dave, now 82 and living in Canada, used to work at Ideal-Standard on National Ave. as a sparky in the mid to late 60's...One of this work mates was on the Titanic....I assume he was an ankle biter at the time. That's the bloke not my uncle Dave.
I miss the 730 hooter
