Holidays

Did Haven once.
Came home after one night.
Scumbag central it was.

I have been to Venice over 12 times and have never experienced an aqua alta.

Each to their own, but I'd sooner rough it up with real folk, than get trench foot in some dreadful sunken waterhole. By the way your aqua altas are a regular occurance with 187 events in the last 30 years, and the big one in November 2019.

As an afterthought most of Venice's sewage goes directly into the city's canals. Flush a toilet, and someone cruising up a side canal on a gondola may notice a small woosh of water emerging from an opening in a wall, with a gaggle of banker-flotillas to follow. The churches are nice though ; )

Mad to think but due to Covid and having a child I didn't go abroad for 3 years. Went to Lanzarote in November and little girl absolutely loved it. So much so in fact that my holiday this year is in Orlando Florida where she will lose the plot everyday in Disneyland. Its nice to say its for her but me and the wife both wanted to go. This holiday has cost though. With flights and theme parks plus taking nanna and grandad this isbthe holiday to end all holidays
 
Nice to be able to fly again after all the covid shit. Went to Taiwan last month, and got a couple of holidays in France booked. Has anyone been to Provence, it looks good from what we’ve read.

Other than that, a cottage in the Scottish Highlands for hiking and wildlife watching, and the usual trip to Norfolk. Oh and London next month, the missus wants to see the opera.
 
Sorrento next for me in June …with day trips to Amalfi Capri and Positano. Hints and tips gratefully received
