The Fish 8989 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I did something similar years ago and the inter-rail package was decent. Definitely go to Italy, brilliant place, brilliant people and amazing food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 8989 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 We did once, but got a camera and some cash nicked so didn't risk it after that. Not to say that will definitely happen to you mind. I spent more than I thought just bumming around so I'd try and pre-book (pay for) as much as you can before you leave. After chatting with the HMRC and my work it looks like my rebate is going to be bigger than I thought, plus I've got some holiday from last year that I can take as cash so I'm thinking about another holiday later on this year... quite tempted with another (longer) visit to Western US or even driving cross country.

Guest You FCB Get Out Of Our Club Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 (edited) I'm planning on doing a tour of europe on trains and busses, stopping at various places staying in cheap hostels; looks like I'll be going on my own, not too fussed can go where I want when I want Looking at going in September, any advice or places to visit is welcome thanks I did it when I was younger and it was mint, went round France, Belgium, Holland, Bavaria, Austria - really good, you need loads of energy though and you CAN'T drink every day. I wanted to do Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and end in Bangkok in the future because I know plenty of people who have done it and they've all said it's the best thing they've ever done. Nothing booked yet, but we've discussed a cheap break to Cyprus about August time, also been invited to NZ next autumn around the time of the RWC cos me aunty lives in Takapuna, but the flights are ridiculous cos the tournament right now so might wait till winter (their summer), I don't even like rugby, it's for fat posh people who are shit at football, end of. Also could get a free trip to Amsterdam if I hit my targets Edited February 1, 2011 by You FCB Get Out Of Our Club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 14031 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Other than the sexy fortnight in Düsseldorf, I won a Guardian competition for a three-day break to Evian-les-Bains on Lake Geneva, so we'll be taking that in August and no doubt feeling thoroughly out of place in amongst all that lovely money.

ajax_andy 0 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Was thinking of Andalucia but been warned its ridiculously hot in August when we're planning on going. Anyone got any suggestions? Want a bit of culture but also a nice beech to relax and unwind on. Needs to be fairly easy to get too... i.e. not 14 hour flights and then a huge journey at the other end Somewhere thats a decent 30 degrees but no more would be nice. Everywhere in the Northern hemisphere that is 'hot' is likely to be hot in August. I'm not great in heat but have found the Costa del Sol to be OK as you tend to get sea breezes. Only been in May or September though. There's a nice resort about 50 mile east og Malaga called Nerja which is worth seeing, and Marbella is canny nice despite its rep. Not much culture though. What about Barcelona? Or Nice in cote d'azure (direct Easy Jet flights). The latter will be expensive though. Nice might be a good shout actually... will have a look in to it so cheers for that. Been to Barcelona last year for my stag do... love the place but think i'd rather go for a few days rather than a full 2 weeks. Cracking place tho... especially when you get to go to the Nou Camp and watch Barca lift the title Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely and cheap from newcastle with easy yet. Loads of culture, fabulous beaches, great transport system with St Tropex etc to the right and Monte Carlo to the left. Yep sounds pretty good tbh... will look in to it this week I think.... just found out 10% of staff at my work are getting laid off so might have to wait to book anything to see if i'm getting the axe or not.

Meenzer 14031 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Crossword? Fucksticks! No, just a random competition on their sports pages, linked from the Fiver. Not a part of the world I'd ever have gone to if it wasn't free, but I'm quite looking forward to seeing how the other half lives (then skulking back to the hotel room because all I can afford to eat is supermarket sandwiches).
