[Betterdeedthan red]

Off to London to watch BTTF musical, then train to Paris for 2 days, train to Brussels for 2 days then train to Amsterdam for 2 days. Any recommendations in those cities?

Good red light area in Brussels.
So I'm told

Drink beer on the steps of Sacre coeur, indian guys sell them as the suns setting. Then after that walk around to Montmartre and have a glass of wine outside an establishment and people watch.
Night sorted!!

Amsterdam - the most disappointing city I’ve been to. Can’t believe it’s so highly rated (although I thought the Anne Frank Museum was very good).

If you want to experience worse, go to Cairo.

I don’t like Amsterdam particularly either.

Agree with you on Cairo. Have been there couple of times and every time was thinking that it is my last time there.
Next time i want to travel to New Zealand and was wondering is asap tickets legit or is it a bad idea to buy last minute tickets from them. Anyone had experience with this service? Did you have a nice deal at the end?

In fact - good point.
I need to double check but I think Nat West charge 2.75% (depending on account) per transaction.
Which may add up over the course of the holiday.
Might look at setting up a Monzo acc.

Starling Bank debit card also has no transaction fees.

Maleme just up the road from you from the 10th, will likely have a day there, if you find a top taverna let me know.

Flying to Kos for a stay near kardamena on Saturday, looking forward to a week of chilling out, didn't expect the weather to 27/28 degrees so happy days all round.

I'd suggest maybe upgrading to a silver account with NatWest for a brief period? I pay around £10 per month and get fee free transactions worldwide, european travel insurance and also mobile phone insurance/break down cover.

I get all of them might not be applicable to you but for price per month I think it's good value.
