How is Cyprus is April? What part of the island has better beaches?
Appreciate

Protaras has a lovely beach should be in the 20s in April. Cyprus insight on YouTube is abit of a weird **** but he has plenty of vids of the place. I've been going for the past 13 years.
 
Japan booked for October. Tokyo and Kyoto. Last of the hotels paid for today. Cannot fucking wait. Been saving forever for it!
Got to book a night or two in a ryokan (Kyoto best) for the full on nippon experience and all the better if they have onsite onsen (hot baths) Shizuoka (nr Mt Fuji) one of the main fishing ports, trawlers the size of cruise ships, great food though. Atami - place where Godzilla came out of the sea (at least in the film) and where many Tokyo residents go for a day out to seaside is worth a look. Not sure if tourists are still allowed at the Tokyo fish market auctions - you’ll still need a ticket and they only allow so many. If so, you’ll need to be there at 2am, but it’s worth a look.
Cheap eats can be had in the little cafe / kiosks by railway stations - chicken katsu for a few quid. Check out the 100 Yen store (their pound shops) for interesting bits and pieces / gifts. Note the in most bars, you’ll pay a cover charge on top of the cost of your drinks. Locals will often talk to you in a bar to practice their English - they will talk in the same style and speed they learn English from online courses, which can be quite funny - brush up on your baseball and golf, along with football, their faves and they love to talk sport. Always useful to have a few small gifts on your person - I take golf ball markers with one of the Open courses names on them (City ones would do it too) Japanese love nothing more than a gift. Might get you a pint or your entire bar bill paid!
 
Just about to enter the last 10 days of our 6-week trip to Thailand. IPTV working well so looking forward to the match later. Can't wait to swap 33c for 33F although it was cloudy yesterday!
