Kid Dynamite 5899 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Got a full itinerary or are you after restaurant/bar (no booze obvs)/unusual site ideas? Haven't even thought about it yet. Never done the touristy stuff so we will probably start there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 8980 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Haven't even thought about it yet. Never done the touristy stuff so we will probably start there The view's are amazing from the OXO tower, St Paul's (if the outdoor galleries are open), The National Portrait Gallery, and Duck and Waffle in the Heron Tower.

Park Life 70 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I've been to St Lucia too. Compared to Barbados it's much more naturally beautiful. However, it's also much poorer, you see proper third world poverty on that island which I didn't see anywhere on Barbados. Why not do a city break in Havana followed by a break in a resort? Havana is an utterly amazing place, I guess people are poor there but of course there is almost perfect equity and healthcare etc. Easily the best place I have been in the Caribbean, and one of the most interesting places overall. Americans go there to get their teeth done apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 3974 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Americans go there to get their teeth done apparently. Have they dropped that Israeli/Arab type shit where getting a cuban stamp in their passports is a huge no-no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 3974 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Rome is brilliant - I dont usually succumb to hype but it lives up to its billing imo. The sense of history is outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19788 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Rome is an awesome city break. Make it a long weekend - so much to see. Amazing food, history, culture, shopping. Thoroughly recommended. Never been to Venice. Florence is nice though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
