Ke1t Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Wife's pestering me to book us flights for Scotland in August, with a trip to Prague and/or Istanbul as part of the holiday. I want to go to Mexico, since our last visitation was when we were tooling around San Diego and decided to go on a road trip, ending up in a shithole outside of Tijuana, called El Nino, a place that Tarantino probably used as the setting for Dusk Till Dawn. "Zoinks! L...l...l...lets's get outta here!" I says, in my best Shaggy Impression. In my younger years I'd have hit up a local bar, got hammered on Tequila, then woke up raped in a ditch somewhere in Mexico City, missing a kidney and a lung and sporting a brand new set of the AIDS. Nowadays I think I'll go somewhere tourist-friendly like Chichen Itza, or Tulum. Slightly less chance of losing an internal organ to the rapey locals, Link to comment

Quagmire Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Anyone ever been to New Delhi before? Safe enough place? (Going with a girl mate who's coming out with high rape percentages, dodgy taxi drivers and all that pish). Away to book 4 nights in April including a trip to the Taj Mahal. Link to comment
BrianFaePerth Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 It looks like a shit hole, mind you so does the rest of India. Racist According to the many programs on the BBC, it is the most wonderful place on earth and am sure in no way a part of the BBC's politically correct agenda. Link to comment

Away to book 4 nights in April including a trip to the Taj Mahal. was there just over a year ago but only spent one day/night in delhi. spent it in a fucking expensive hotel. given the cost vs. the quality of the surroundings we didnt venture out for too long. there are better places/cities in india to visit.

I'd rather go to Mumbai but the person im going with really wants to see Taj Mahal. Think we're going to stay at the Hilton so shouldnt have worries about the hotel. If it is shit then least its only 4 days! Link to comment

If it is shit then least its only 4 days! when there we specifically avoided the TM. undoubtedly its a magnificent building, but knowing the country i can only imagine the hassle that will be involved going to see it.

I bet you saw a fair few sights there, folk with nae arms and the like, India seems to have a higher than normal percentage of those gadgies. Wouldn't mind a trip to the Himalayas like. Was thinking about HK as a stop en route tae Oz. Link to comment
Bluto10 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Top man Bloots. Eh have been to many Indian restaurants wi no side effects, so reckon eh would be fine there too im pretty good with that sort of stuff, dont get ill or sick from food, no matter waht i eat. that said, the country is a complete shit hole in places, food poisioning must be rife, but a healthy does of alcohol must help keep the bacteria away Link to comment

BrianFaePerth Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 how come? i thouroughly enjoyed the holiday there. living there would be a toughie though , i imagine. even with a load of servants Simply because it is a disease ridden cesspit. Sure there are things to see, but damned if eh am going to come down wi some disease just to experience it. My brother-in-law ended up in hospital after a trip out there and the doctors here hadn't the faintest idea what was wrong with him. He was off wi the fairies for ages and only through the docs pumping him full of all manner of "let's give this one a try" drugs did he recover. Link to comment
spamspamspam Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Just booked my first clog trip of the year, heading over in March. I'm heading out to Baku with work in April for a month so I will probably use that to get me to Melbourne in May. Back to clog for Awakefest and Vollt Loves Summer and depending on how much holidays I have left I'm hoping to get a week in Chi Town in autumn. Link to comment
Quagmire Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Where did you travel to bluts? stay in the same area or do a wee tour? Ever been to Hong Kong? Im going to Hong Kong for 3 days at the start of March. Will let you know how it is, i've heard only good things. Hotels seem to be a bit more expensive than the rest of Asia though. Link to comment
gla5gowdon Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I'm thinking of looking at Hong Kong for my next big trip. I try and go somewhere a bit further away every 18 months or so. Hotels indeed look dearer but you'll make it back in how cheap everything else seems to be. Link to comment

rgudon Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Just booked a week in Tenerife at Sensatori resort at Guia De Isora for a standard week in the sun with the wife. stayed there in November 2010, nice place. although that kind of place is normally my idea of hell it was quite good to do fuk all for a week, will need to hire a car if you want to get out of the resort as there is fuk all round about it.

That's the plan. I've stayed at the one in Crete, however I suspect there is far more culture and history there than anything Tenerife has to offer. That's not the intention for this holiday though. I may consider going back to the Carribean towards the end of the year for some winter sun. Link to comment
spamspamspam Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 what do you do when you get over to the hague, spammer? hang about in creamers... ...and the blue and white, club live, shag the ex and if there's time catch up with some mates. I'll mostly be in Wageningen and Breda in March doing some djing. Link to comment
daytripping Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Just booked a week in Tenerife at Sensatori resort at Guia De Isora for a standard week in the sun with the wife. I go to Parque Santiago 3 when in Tenerife, it's between las americas and Christianos, nice area right on the beach and quiet yet you're only ten minutes away from the nightlife if you want it, love the place.

Ron1903 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Have booked flights to Dubrovnik at end of August with the burd but not accomodation yet, struggling to decide what the best area to stay is if anyone has any recomendations? (Lapad looks quiter and get more for your money but need a bus to the old town so maybe Ploce) Also not really a holiday but booked up to do the West Highland Way with few guys from my work. Oh and Milan/Turin/Lugano in March to see BRMC and visit a pal in Milan. Link to comment
