Holidays

Just got back from Rhodes absolutely stunning where we were. The locals couldn’t do enough for us. Lovely hotel with a couple of shacks serving food and alcohol separating the pool and beach. Clear blue seas.
We could eat outside the restaurant over looking the sea whilst watching the sunset . Rhodes old town was not far from us either. Great place to visit full of history .
Beeezed through Manchester Airport as well and had time for a few pints for once
 
We did 3 weeks in the south of France. Stayed in a few spots along the coast from Le Lavandou to Saint Tropez. First time driving down there but wasn’t too bad. Looking to do the same next year with a few tweaks to the itinerary.

Just seeing this post (was up in the woods for a week at the time).
Random testing was stopped here (Toronto) as the airport was an absolute shit show.
Toronto Pearson airport was voted worst airport in the world for flight delays.
Lot's of people here are driving to Buffalo New York rather than go to Pearson.
I can't believe they have brought it back but it means I won't be getting on a plane anytime soon.
Last time I went anywhere was to Vinnies testimonial and we usually go away twice a year.

You'll probs get a better price on flights flying direct to Bangkok, and then getting an internal flight to phuket from there.

In Phuket itself Mai Khao Beach is a nice resort.

Cala bona is nice.
Very chilled and laid back.
Janet and John's is meant to be good for food although we didn't go.

Are you staying at the bonaire by any chance?

The first time I visited Janet & Johns's, his parents owned it and he was 3 years old! I love Cala Bona/Cala Millor, but have not been back for around 7 years.

Lovely part of the world.

Depending on when you going York maze is currently open but closes in a couple of weeks. Obviously the city wall walk is a must, I still remember doing it as a kid.

Dig might be a good one depending if they’ll find that interesting or not.
 
In Corfu at the moment.In a terrible hotel which I’ve paid completely over the odds for,this is the 17th time I’ve been to Greece and I can’t believe the price increase in almost everything,things are so expensive.Been to Spain 3 times in the last few months and things are half the price of over here! Still having a great time swimming in the sea and generally relaxing by the pool and eating lovely Greek food,not to mention drinking plenty of Mythos and Ouzo! Had a lovely day trip to Corfu town yesterday ,which was very busy and lively,all in all a good trip but very expensive

I lost my wallet at that infamous match in York many years ago.
You might check at the cop station to see if any one of the thousand city fans who attended the game may have handed it in.

It's funny but just before Covid in 2019 we had a long stay in the UK, we went to Majorca for a week and then Rhodes for 2 weeks. Things then were much more expensive in Greece than Spain even before covid. One guy told me the country had so much foreign debt they'd put the taxes up on everything.
I wouldn't go to Greece again, I wasn't impressed with Rhodes, (although Lindos was nice) but I really loved Majorca, especially Puerto De Soller.
