I'm sure there's been holiday threads before but I had no luck finding them during a (very brief) search, so I've started a new one for 2012.

 

Far ye gan?

 

And, anyone done the whole Orlando experience, theme parks, attractions, swimming with dolphins and other shite like that?

 

Doing a bit of research for a possible family trip there in October, and all I can see are dollar signs - and fucking loads of them. 

 

Ta.

My mate had passes to the Singapore GP but got mugged for them at knife point down Tillydrone by a guy in a balaclava and a Costcutters uniform a week back.

I'm pretty sure it's Nisa that ST works in so he's in the clear.

Will you be getting caught up in the weather out that way Tyrant?

I don't think so tbh be honest, Manc. Apparently the worst of it is much further south than Orlando. I hope this is the case anyway. 

Think you'll be ok Tyrant, it's gone to Louisiana now then supposed to be making it's way north. Apparently the edge of it is supposed to give us a shitload of rain come Saturday afternoon!

We are supposed to get it on Sunday.

Now all I need is an ecuse not to have to cut the grass til it rains...........

I'm quite happy to confirm that Warsaw is excellent, and quite easily comes in 2nd place in my League of Eastern European Cities.

 

I can also confirm that 'Charleroi' is pish, and the only place worse than it in the whole world in Brussels, which is even more grim than I remember it being.

 

I also nipped in past the Belgian Grand Prix on Sunday, as this photo conclusively proves:

 

 

(this photo is also available at other locations on the interweb)

 

boom.

I had a great spot at the first corner, imagine my shock when this happened...

 

 

 

 

... and what a feckin noise it made.  Boom.

I was there too and I even got to have a drink with Button after he'd won. Got my mate to take a photo of us.

I'm also heading to Bali and KL after the Singapore Grand Prix.

 

I don't have any pictures of those yet but it should give you sad-sacks something to do whilst autumn takes hold and the dark nights draw in.

 

BOOM!  That was the sound of my Visa bill hitting the Welcome mat.

 

 

Dave_min, what's your favourite Eastern European city?

Dave_min, what's your favourite Eastern European city?

 

Prague.

 

Although, Wenceslas Square should be avoided like the fucking plague.

 

I'm well looking forward to taking in Belgrade, Budapest, Podgorica, Sarajevo & Kiev next year though.

 

With a bit of luck I might even get to Russia too.

 

Western Europe is pish.

 

Fact.

 

BOOM.

 

Tallinn > Prague

St Petersburg > Tallinn > Prague

 

Never been to Prague, but Tallinn was fantastic on both occasions I went.

 

Night out wise, think Warsaw or Budapest for me.

Mostar, surely?

I think we made those nights, but there were fuck all else people around! Class time right enough mind

Tallinn > Prague

 

Nope.

 

Denied.

 

Prague > Tallinn.

 

Also, if anybody's ever in Estonia, go to Tartu. I accidently got off the bus there thinking it was Tallinn and it's awesome. Much preferable to Tallinn.

 

Despite this Tallinn bashing - I do think it's also a fantastic city.

 

 

Can't say I liked Prague too much. I'd say Bratislava is my favourite.

Prague is a bit too commercial for me.  Nice place but choc full of staggers.

Like I say, avoid Wenceslas Square and make sure you go where the locals go :ok:

Anyone been to India?  Going to Jodhpur for a wedding in November and have a few days spare beforehand.  Was thinking of heading to Delhi to check out the city out and head to Agra and the Taj Mahal for a day.  Anyone got any other tips for the area?
