Do you go abroad much ? Or at all ?

Re: Do you go abroad much ? Or at all ?

Yes, I absolutely love travelling around Europe in particular - doing so on the trains is something everyone should try and do once.

Big fan in particular of; southern Germany, Austria, Basque Country, Brittany.

Biggest let down - Milan.

I love it and have to make up for lost time after the last two years. Went to Gran Canaria in March, going to Prague on Friday and Mexico in Sept

Aye. I’ve done 10 flights & 8 countries already this year. Long weekend in Stockholm up next. Love flying, love different cultures etc.

Only missing continent is South America, so doing Ecuador / Chile next year.

I enjoyed Milan, although seeing a 3-2 Milan derby may have helped

It’s good to see the world and see how other cultures live, glad I did most of it whilst I was young and carefree. Never really went on a package holiday, that just isn’t for me. Different with kids though, I don’t think I could spend 3 days on a cheap train ticket across India with my family….
just think sludge, you will never see an Indian transvestite almost demanding cash off you on a train, it’s quite a sight….

Just bought an interrail this year for the family, few major cities (6 stops), nothing to far East and if the kids like it next year we'll go off the beaten track a little more.

By the way, after just walking around for half an hour before breakfast I recommend Gdansk very highly. It has a similar 'flavour' to Krakow and Prague but seemingly not yet on the stag/hen party circuit....

I think I've been to 30 countries not including transits, which has dropped off massively in the last decade since having kids , will definitely be doing more once the finances allow

Attended a conference there a few years back and agree that it's a very nice city. Take a trip to Sopot if you have time, a resort on the Baltic a few miles away with a nice pier.

I'm just boarding a train to Gdynia for a more earthy experience than sophisticated Gdansk and may stop off at Sopot on the way back. Cheers.

Lovely summers in Poland

On a ferry posting this on a ferry off Haugesund, Norway. Just visited a reconstruction of a Viking village (although the guide insisted it was a Germanic village) as the word ‘Viking’ wasn’t used at the time. We’ve had the week cruising the fyords, it’s not all about beach holidays, it’s a fantastic change from the Costas……Benidorm again in 6 weeks time though whoopee Forgot Poland for the Wales game as well

I've never been on a package holiday before but am planning to do so in a few weeks. Always booked directly myself, often including 3 or 4 locations, but it's been a pretty exhausting couple of years workwise so just want to jump on a plane and be told where to go this time. And pretty much flop down there for 2 weeks.

I'm just wondering if you happen to be on a ferry, right now?

Travel changes to suit your time in life, as a youngster I did mad stuff, backpacked a lot around the world ( I know we have chatted about Australia )

with family its a lot calmer and safer, but it ticks the box for family holidays

Im not at a point where I consider myself older, so cant common, but I sure as hall have become used to nice hotels and nice food

I mentioned on here a while back about going to Baja on a trip, pretty sure you were one of the guys who said " dont do it " ( I remember a few of the American members also said it ) I looked at Costa Rica instead, didnt book though as I managed to use the voucher to book up a flight to NY again
