If you have time the Dorsoduro Mile scheme is a good deal that gets you concessionary rates in four galleries/ museums.

Not been away since 2019, heading to Hong Kong end of the month, trust my luck they have just had the heaviest downfall in 140 years causing flooding! hoping it will all be ok
 
Provence. Found a lovely hotel with its own vineyard, just hoping it won’t be too hot. Beautiful scenery down there.

They are used to tropical storms although the rainfall was huge over the days but would still expect it to be cleared by then.
We are heading on a stop over mid October, been numerous times with work and the missus. Love it there.
Always make sure I have at least one trip on the iconic Star Ferry.
Had a long weekend with the lads which was fantastic ,Wan Chai or up the escalators at Soho to the top then walk down all the bars to Lan Kwai Fong great night out.
Not been since the Pandamic so I expect it will have changed .

Have a look on the property rental sites like Vrbo we regularly rent private apartments, houses and villas from them. Yet to have a bad one.
 
Anyone got recommendations for Cuba? Was hoping to go over Christmas but can't see any flights/deals to go at that time of year. Always been somewhere I've wanted to go, Havana and Varadero most likely but any advice would be appreciated.

Just got back from Croatia. Absolutely stunning place, but Jesus H Christ it’s become expensive. Know a few people who went this year and all came back with the same view.

Right rip off, especially when you are buying drinks that are other people’s left overs…

Bars at Greek party island caught selling shots from drinks other customers left

Series of raids were recently conducted on bars and restaurants in Kavos, in the south of Corfu

I went and agree. Mad prices. It used to be a cheaper alternative to Italy but is now crazy money. I love seafood but couldn't justify paying for it - looking at 30euros minimum for anything from the sea and considering it was right next to us I would have thought it would be cheaper!

Beer was pretty decent value though so just maximised my intake of that to kerb the appetite.
