Holidays

Just got back from a great week in Rhodes with my 2 boys, booked the holiday on a Thursday flew out on the Saturday, all a bit last minute but my kids loved the surprise. Never been before, pleasantly surprised by Rhodes Old Town, great medieval architecture, the Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights Hospitalier was fascinating .we did a day at a nearby water park and my boys absolutely loved that, made me wonder what other great water parks there are in Europe and maybe further afield, Siam Park in Tenerife is now on my list.

Siam Park is a very good one
 
Flying to Barca tomorrow and staying in a eurocamp to the south for a few nights before heading to a villa with the wife's family. Can't wait!!!
 
If you're going on holiday don't be a ****..


For example when everyone is waiting for boarding you don't need a seat for yourself and 3 other seats for your bags, stuck up cunts
 
Re post 3451 and 3458: As it's connected I was unsure whether to post this snippet in here or in the what you watching on You-tube Right Now thread, so for transparency decided to post on both.

This is a great vlog from a likeable lad on the costings and local atmosphere in and around Hurgharda. Not quite as posh as Sharmy Shake and as rough as toast in places, but no arguing on the value. BTW Max well done on saving that rabbit.


Love the trainers at a fiver a throw!

that's so annoying
I am also a little upset, cause our second vacation was just cancelled. I was looking forward to spend nice time with the whole family and now gonna spend it in front of my tv i guess. Need to reach out to bell customer service and make sure i will have a proper connection at least.

Just been to Anglesey for two nights, late booking in a holiday home it was glorious on Saturday, we went to a few beaches and this place https://melinllynon.co.uk/ the best doughnuts I’ve ever had well worth £5, wife had pina colada one with rum in!
Oh and the Welsh can fuck off with their 20mph zone it’s fucking ridiculous

Went there last sunday, thankfully they had some doughnuts left this time. (Ran out of everything last time). Had caramel and custard, triffle and manchester tart doughnuts. Delicious. The wasps were a pain in the arse though.
And yes, 20mph is ludicrous.

20mph is going, they have to do it for the tour of Britain as well as the support cars would be going to fast!

Having been to Morocco and Tunisia they have good sunshine in October but those countries won't suit many Brits who like a pint of John Smiths or a bacon butty. I go out of my way to avoid the Brits abroad experience, but each to their own.

What’s Morocco like mate, Turkey is now getting expensive looking at October or possibly April, just going to do an all inclusive but want a decent one.

Tunisia is OK but Morocco is more of a test of endurance, a trial by ordeal....than a holiday. It's great non the less.

I wrote an earlier post of staying in the busy-ish Agadir resort 2 nights and 5 nights off the beaten tourist track in a coastal village called Mirleft, mate, so only been to Morocco once. I've been to Gumbet, Kusadassi, Marmaris and Olu Deniz in Turkey which I enjoyed. The main difference in Turkey and Morocco is Turkey is a lot more geared up to holidaymakers demands in hosting holidaymakers much longer. Both are Muslim countries but alcohol in Morocco is not widely available. They were quite a few bars in Agadir because it's one of the main tourist resorts but in Mirleft I only found beer in the main hotel and one restaurant.

I like a holiday away from the Blackpool like Brits abroad brigade where I can eat authentic food and experience their culture, and although Turkish food is more widespread nowadays in the UK it's not a patch on the food over there, especially the kebabs. And if you like Turkish food you'll like Moroccan food because it's similar but a bit different. I think Morocco is probably better value for money but I'm guessing as it's 4 years since I was there. I can only recommend those 2 resorts I stayed in but it's a country with a big coastline that I'll return to.

Probably Morocco as I enjoyed the food more but Tunisia was also an enjoyable holiday. It's a shame that the terrorist Port El Kantaoui beach shootings in 2015 put a lot of holidaymakers off going and the Tunisians I met were generally friendly and I felt safe there.

I was in Tunisia just before the terrorist attack at the Bardoe museum, shocking and there's a lot of hotels and apartments that had to be shelved.
