Vilamoura - Never been, looks like it's a golf wanker resort tbh (to be honest)

I thought it was good but them I'm a middle aged golf wanker lol

 

You can always get a taxi to the more livelier Albuferia if you get scunnered there

Stayed there for the Scotland game. I liked it.

[Foster14]

Plenty of fine eateries at the Marina at Vilamoura.

Probably a bit far to go just to win #LOTD.

Bastarding offshore workers can manage it though, with all the money they earn and time off they get, maybe even hold a meeting for those in the handshaking club.

 

Am I right @@tup

I'm going with the 18 month old daughter and the wife. Few beers in the villa balcony will be as lively as it gets

Hope you have a barbecue at the villa then. Good fish and seafood market within walking distance of the Marina, nearer Quarteira IIRC (If I remember correctly).

[Zeus]

It does. Car needed?? Wasn't going to bother

[Foster14]

Nah, it can be easily walked. All the towns kinda run in to each other round there, think it is about a mile from the marina.

[The Boofon]

 

Don't be tempted to attend any "tapas bars'.

[Zeus]

Just figured that out ffs (for fuck sake)

There's a cracking Thai restaurant at the marina also

[HairyPie]

The casino roundo the back of the hotel is ok too.

[dave_min]

I had a pleasant curry at the marina.

 

Figo has a seafood plaice there too.

[looksgoodinred]

several trips this year, but mostly to tried and true destinations.

a new one for me though will be Vietnam for a holiday later this year.

 

has anyone been? if so, do you have a preference for either Ho Chi Minh or Hanoi?

Barcelona in May for a mate's stagger.

 

July I'm meeting a few mates in Holland, and then my dad in Krakow, but rather than fly between the two I'm gonna go on the interrail and stretch it out.

 

Thinking of either going north of Germany - Monchengladbach, Düsseldorf, Hannover, Hamburg, Kiel, Berlin, Warsaw, Krakow.

 

Or, go south and go Düsseldorf, Monchengladbach, Frankfurt, Zurich, St Gallen, Vienna, Budapest, Krakow.

Both train journeys sound pretty good...

 

Maybe south route edges it fr visual splendour, through Austria.

Looking to go in the next few years. My partner has been and raves about it. I LOVE their food!

Wrong.

 

His Northern route is better.

I'm gonna try and keep it as open as possible, because the dates I'm planning will be around the same time as the Europa League QR2 and QR3.

 

If I'm already in Europe and Aberdeen land a draw in Switzerland for example, it'd be pretty handy.

[alscotoz]

Alsco, when your partner went did he go to Hanoi? Always wanted to visit there

 

He didn't go there, no.

[daytripping]

You trawling old posts looking for trouble MT

 

I've clearly rattled the poor lad, most amusing.

Off to Washington DC in a couple of weeks as part of my US tour.

 

Apart from going to see my close personal friend Donald Trump, what would folk who have been before recommend?

 

I've only got 2 nights in DC.

[Foster14]

I spend 3 days in Washington. One was spent cycling round the main places of interest. One was spent in museums (Smithsonian Air and Space and American History). The other was at a Redskins game.

 

The American fitba was great (not much use for you) and the day cycling was good because of the weather. I found the Air and Space museum interesting enough, not so much the American History. The museums are pretty busy too.

 

I liked Washington, but wouldn't rush back.

A visit to Kelts grave wouldn't go a miss.

 

RIP.

[dave_min]

I preferred Washington to New York.

[Foster14]

I preferred Washington to New York.

 

It doesn't feel like you are in a big city, which I found a plus. I'd think a few days there is plenty, whereas you can barely scratch the surface of New York in that time.

RIP.

Kelts grave is in a gangbangers back yard in downtown Detroit.

Nowhere near Washington DC min.

[Zeus]

Is kelt actually deid?
