Holidays

Off to Penang for 2 weeks in Jan for a relax.
However hoping to do Chile next year, thinking late Feb /March, as my first taste of South America.
Picking Chile as it seems the safest and looks amazing , so we can get a feel for what's South America like.
Thinking of hiring a car and seeing the country that way so any tips much appreciated
 
Just had a few days in malta and what a thoroughly awesome place for a winter break!

So much history. Loads to do. Weather pleasant (though a tad chilly at night), last day was warm!

And a nice change that the locals actually like the brits, i got a real sense of connection between the 2 countries
 
5 nights in Andalusia before Christmas- Granada and Seville were absolutely superb.

Then the first class Iryo train service from Seville to Barcelona - this is the way to travel - I'll have a video on my YouTube channel in the coming weeks.

Then unfortunately, all four of us got the flu over Christmas and the holiday took a nosedive. Had to rebook the flight home to give ourselves an extra day to recover.

Definitely a holiday of two halves.
 
I finally have enough cash for my first foreign holiday in thirty years
Undecided where to go just want somewhere with guaranteed sunshine and high temperature
Thinking of Los Angeles (Venice Beach or Marina Del Rey) Dubai or Miami
 
Going Budapest in February with the Mrs - done a little research, but any recommendations?
Stay away from the Unicum.

Ruin bars are a big thing over there, but I couldn't recommend any in particular. I had a local friend, so they just brought me to stuff. You honestly can't go wrong though. So much culture and amazing buildings. The National Gallery is well worth a visit, even if just for the views. The cruise down the river was great too.

We also took a trip out to Szentendre and Visegrad to see the castle.

Venice beach is a shit hole by all accounts these days, I’d go to Dubai.
 
Belfast next weekend, Edinburgh in March.

During time in Edinburgh getting train to Dundee as I've found out my grandfather's brother is buried in military cemetery there. He ran away from home aged 15 to sign up for 1st World War. Joined Scottish regiment hence why buried in Dundee. Not aware of any family ever visiting his grave, I will be 63 during the trip, plan to visit grave and have a glass of whisky at graveside in his honour
