I'm off

[Kenya Cherrie]

Hmm..... you weren't a tourist?

Yes, but I didn't expect what I saw. Every place was like walking down a UK high street.
English breakfast all day and groups of 50 year old bald men shouting for their favourite football teams.
We soon moved up north to Santa Cruz.

Leaving for New Zealand next Friday - three week "once in a lifetime " family trip.... on my secret scouting mission to Foley's NZ team......

Did 3 weeks there last year, through north and south islands. Absolutely loved it. Amazing place, you'll love it.

Thought you were about to flounce. Enjoy Portugal and the pastel de nata. Weather here is shite!!!

Yes same here, another day of shite weather, I hear its 20c down there.

On the final leg back to So**hampton after a 2 week cruise to the canaries. Was bizarre walking around in shorts and seeing snow on the ring doorbell!!
First cruise for years and with a 3 year old… has actually been very pleasant

We're off to Burnley on a Sunday not a Saturday now : )

I've still got a couple of days holiday left, so considering a couple of nights in Blackpool and a train in to Burnley - depending on the cup draw...

 

[Rob151060]

Had enough of this shite weather, Minus degrees, snow, wind, now rain.
I'm off to Portugal for a month, 20c at the moment spending afternoons playing golf then back to 3 euro beers.
anybody else off to their winter holidays?

Cumbria and climbing Helvellyn after Burnley away. What's not to like?

Pastel de nata tastes really good, one of the first things we buy.
They have a English shop in Almancil we stop off, on the way to Vilamoura.
Quite expensive but great for the groceries you miss from England, like mustard, pasties, english bacon and pork pies.

Play well. I will still be in the simulator for another 10 weeks or so.

At least you know that Helvellyn will be less bleak than Burnley

What's a winter holiday ? Or come to that a holiday ?? Asking for someone under 65.

Next month we're off for some sunshine. Combined retirement (last summer) and 40th anniversary (later this year) for myself and Mrs B

Had a time share there for about 20 years. Would sit on the beach watching the Thomas Cook flights come in. Way back, the weekly Concord arrival was a big draw!
Stayed on the South Coast near the "Gap". Great restaurants at the time, nice beaches and very safe.
Enjoy it.

Haha you moan about tenerife, then buy pork pies and pasties in Portugal. Brits abroad are best avoided

Brits abroad are avoidable. Brits at home are intolerant generally.

They have become treats, tried making them here but not the same. Colemans mustard is another. Not much else I miss from the UK food wise.

I don't travel during the summer as the weather is good and like I said before hate too many tourists.

A Dorset Knob is something to behold.

Mr Trent, I'll see your Tenerife and Rhodes and raise you a Albania, Macedonia and Kosovo in June.



Granted, you stand a lot less chance of being kidnapped or shot.

I've played in Kosovo. It was hands down one of the best experiences on tour. Prizren is beautiful.

As a tourist yourself, perhaps pick a destination that isn't.......wait for it.......... full of tourists.

Tourists are like traffic. It's everybody else.

I've always found that going abroad the place is full of foreigners, especially when I go to that big bugbear of yours...visiting the Welsh in-laws.
