Off Topic Short breaks

To touristy now and everything is closing down. The weed is ****e, I can promise your mate that. No good for drinking as the bars are situated all over the place and it's not like you can just go bar to bar in one street.

If you go on the boat the waters are choppy as **** this time of year. Go to a pharmacy and buy some anti sickness tablets and start taking them 3 or 4 days before you leave. Trust me you'll need them. Take a few beers in your bag onto the boat and drink them in your room before you go to the bar cos it's pricey as ****.

You're not wrong there. I was caught by the bar staff pouring my own vodka into everyones drinks. I think their suspicions were first aroused when i ordered a round of cokes for half a dozen rowdy blokes. Got a proper telling off in front of everyone and was almost restricted to quarters.

There was a mini riot one time going over. The security lads ran out of cells for putting them in and when I got up in the morning, lads were handcuffed to railings and alsorts <laugh>

Now if that had happened when I was aboard then I would not have hesitated in booking up the next year.
 
Must admit the boat bit is what is drawing me to it.
True story Comm went with our lass on the Amsterdam trip 1750 on board I think with nearly all booked for the smorgasboard the sea was that ruff and the ****ing wind you could hang onto the rail lift your feet off the ground and you were horizontal also us 4 spent the whole time sharing one bog in our cabin spewing over each other I asked the next morning and only 20 people made it for the dinner the rest of us were given a refund, you'll love it mate.<laugh>

Our lad and 15 of his mates went last year Bri on a stag do they were told which clubs to definitely not go in so they went in one round of beer £819 so they told the barman to **** off with in a minute they were surrounded by about 8 lads with machine guns they payed our lad said the they explained it different to the barman.<laugh>

Depends what you are looking for..My ideal would be a log cabin with a hot tub in the lakes where I could relax after a walk on the fells..
Loch morlich nation trust near kingussie Aviemore, our regiment built the ski slopes log cabins showers everything, its perfect and not too far away for a piss up, but there are that many distilleries its better to visit buy and get pissed yersell.

Do not go on that boat from North Shields. Nightmare!

If you do decide to go do not have the buffet. It costs over £30 per person, and its rank!
I can see by those remarks you were a ferry beginner, should have asked the lads on here what the crack.

Prague - Berlin - Budapest

All supposed to be good breaks. I'm looking to try Prague actually. Reckon it's cracking for a lads trip.

I don't think Amsterdam would suit you like. Rotterdam would be better for a piss up
prague is great , but lots of pickpockets and scammers

We didn't Ski or stay in a Cabin. Saw the slopes from a far though, looked canny. I'd love to give skiing a go. I was there for the raindeer.

The way is to do the boat but don’t come back the same day, book a hotel and come back the following date.

The boot out is normally a good laugh but the boat back is sketchy as ****, ha.

You can book the Dam off the Toon website at the minute for £20 per head. Seriously. One of my pals booked and shared on Facey yesterday.

I want to go to Iceland for our next holiday, I've always wanted to see the northern lights and swim in a hot spring. Snowmobiles look fun too.

Prague is absolutely superb. Been 3 times now. Thousands of bars and if ya interested decent architecture.
They warn you about pickpockets on Charles Bridge. The ignorant tw*ts take no notice. I got 4 wallets and 4 purses in the first 50 yards.<laugh>
