Porthcawl
You can forget Goa
We went to bali before the pandemic - stunning place - we had a tour guide for the day with a driver - out for about 12 hours and he took us all over the place cost about £100 - brilliant day
Went to Hong Kong on the way back for four days during the protests and that was interesting
Superb people in both - genuinely nice people
House hunting next week in Malaga 👍
I've got a week in Pontypool in August. It's all I can afford this year.
Going to Thessaloniki for a couple of days at the end of the month, I’ve found the history of the place fascinating (when it was Salonica under the Ottomans). Then staying in a village in Chalkidiki for a week to soak up some sun and some Mythos. I cannot wait, just hope the airports don’t tuck us up.
I havnt been abroad for 20 years
I don't like the heat too much and when it was 27 the other week I really struggled
In the med in temperatures higher than that it would be a nightmare
The fuss of packing , passports and airports is also a pain in the arse
If we had the weather I would be happy staying where I am . Within 2 hours you can be in west Wales which is beautiful .
Scotland is fantastic but it's the 8 hour drive that puts me off .
Some people are happy with a week in Porthcawl . I can relate to that .
My dad’s holiday every year was a week in Porthcawl and he had wonderful memories of those holidays. When I was growing up we went to Cornwall every year. However you just cannot guarantee the weather and it is very expensive in the U.K.
We didn’t even bother going on our last holiday in the U.K. It was a weekend camping in Dorset. We had paid for it but the weather forecast was so bad we didn’t go. Our last actual holiday we went on in Devon was wet most of the time and the basic accommodation very expensive.
Before opening the thread I knew Sludge would be on saying Porthcawl and his dislike of foreign travel. Miserable fecker.😂😂😂😂
Singapore is my neck of the woods. Been here since 2011. Let me know if you have any questions!
You lot were lucky. Sand pit in back garden for us kids and sometimes we were allowed to watch the ice-cream van on its way to Roath Park.
No idea but will be in the UK.
Dorset looks really decent or may look at the Gower.
The thought of an airport, based on the horror stories circulating, has put me off flying.
Thanks CN! Knew you had Greek ancestry and some interest from posts on here in the past. If you’ve any particular recommendations please do feel free to share! I got too excited as we’re going end of July, which I imagine won’t be any cooler! Fortunately both places we’re staying have pools so hopefully braced for it!
I just checked if PAOK are playing but sadly miss a European tie by a couple of days.
Going to seek out a boat trip that goes around around Mount Athos.
A week in Cornwall.
Shocking prices but it has to be done
The nearest I get to experiencing other cultures these days is the Olympic Kebab House in Bridgend
You can get kebabs in small towns in 2est Wales these days too so that's a bonus ?
I went to Rome for a week recently, and had a great time. Lots to see, great food, and lovely weather. No problem with the flights either. Hoping to go somewhere layer in the year, but probably a bit further afield. Hopefully the airports will have calmed down by then. My advice to anyone would be that things are going to get real bad, once the schools close for the summer.
I went to Bali about 10 years ago. Climbed mount Rinjani on Lombok and stayed on Gili T. What a trip! I’d definitely recommend the Gili islands.
God, I need a holiday….
Anyone booking a foreign holiday via an airport this year is playing flight roulette
The well documented failings of airlines and travel companies is only going to get worse in the coming months
My mate was due to fly home after a week in Lanzarote
The scheduled return flight was cancelled half an hour before take off
After unsuccessfully trying to contact the numbers given they had to book into a nearby hotel for three nights
Extra costs all around-rooms food taxis etc
My neighbour arrived at Cardiff airport on Saturday just gone
He wasn’t allowed to board the plane because the travel agent- On The Beach - hadn’t paid for the flights
The airline wouldn’t even allow him to purchase the tickets on the spot
I have flown to the Caribbean, Malta , Jersey and Geneva in recent weeks . Some long queues but no more than that .
Malta is beautiful , had a week in Gozo, lovely quiet place , then on to the mainland for a week in Marsaxlokk .
Had a day in Valletta , what a beautiful city , a day simply wasn't enough will be returning to spend more time there.
Norfolk Broads this year for us.
I'm sure it would be cheaper to drive over to France and stay longer,but just to get away somewhere will be a bonus.
We had a week in both Yorkshire and Cornwall last year, which were both fantastic. The only thing with Yorkshire, it was one of the hottest weeks of the year. We had 5 days in Towyn in May and we’ve booked to go Croatia next month, then off to the north of Tenerife later in the year.
Jesus Christ some of you on here It's like around the world in 80 days !
When I want to chill I go down Barry Island for the afternoon
Heading down Exeter this year . My son is living there. We haven't ever met.
No I won't be on long lost family, he's living in a donkey sanctuary and we've adopted him.
This place is worth a visit
