Sergeant Wilson Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I'm pretty jealous of this talk about Italy. We were supposed to go to Venice the weekend before last but I've had a throat infection for a fortnight and had to cancel it. Really pissed off. Next year maybe. I'd imagine the last time you went to Italy you were in a tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Not all trains. The Intercity ones are good, but you pay a lot extra. If you're travelling shorter distances you're often in a grimy, slow shoebox subject to breakdowns and delays. So, pretty much the same as most of Western Europe really. Yep, some of the worst trains I have ever travelled on have been in Italy, old box carts that are relics from the sixties. Renfe trains in Spain for long distances was by far my favourite way to travel in Europe, never had any complaints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found it a bit confusing in Spain knowing what train you can travel on with your ticket, they seem to have 3 or 4 prices depending on what type of train, and it wasn't clear on the ticket machine.

Mr Rational Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Just booked up Kephalonia again for September. Heartily recommend the 9 muses in Skala if anyone fancies a relaxing week away in Paradise. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heedthebaa Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Dubai on Tuesday for 3 days then 11 in Thailand. Have to say I'm a bit worried about Thailand after that family got felled, as I've got that type of face you just want to keep hitting (apparently) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiwiDB Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 12 days in Singapore were superb, I ended up in Scotland for a week beforehand and will likely be back in Scotland again this month so racking up a few air miles this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That family were definitely in the wrong place at the wrong time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Bairn Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Anyone had any luck finding last minute holidays around the October holidays before? Got time off work and fancy a bit of time in the sun, but won't have the cash to book something till the end of September. Fancy an all-inclusive in the med somewhere, preferably lively-ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
