Renton 17628 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 With the vaccine imminent booked our holidays for next year. Lake Garda. Gone up quite a lot. But now we're out of the EU we have to pay a 4 euro tourist tax upfront, each, instead of 1 euro. So that's 120 euros lost directly because of Brexit. And then of course I have to buy private travel insurance. Cheers Brexiteers. You cunts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 3960 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 I want to go to Cyprus for the last week in March but I'll wait until I'm vaccinated before booking it - I'm tier 6 or 8 so might be pushing it but if I'm done by the start of March I'll go for it. (EU restrictions allowing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 34181 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I've got a week booked in the North York Moors in July and we'll get some time at my mam's caravan in Keswick at some point. Not taking the risk on anything overseas, gonna get some stuff done around the house instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 13983 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Ages ago I rebooked last summer's Dutch weekender ( ) for late June this year, but that's looking fairly likely to be postponed again, aye. Reckon it'll just have to be a bit of Scotland and THE NORTH this summer either side of the school holidays, which obviously I'll be spending at home because I value my sanity.

Kevin Carr's Gloves 3183 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 We had 9 days in Portugal booked for July, that's gone. We had a long weekend in St Andrew's booked in May, that might go ahead. We have 3 days in Dundee booked in July (My boy is on an Ice Hockey camp which is why), I bet they let us take that fooker. We do have a week in Gran Canaria booked in October and hopefully we get that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonpack 6766 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) Friends daughter getting married in Kalkan Turkey in September, in a way hoping it gets covid-canned so will get money back, place we're going is where we holidayed for years with these friends and Dan and daughter in law, will be all too Dan to be a "happy" time so doubt we'll even go now anyway. (not comfortable travelling/flying there even without the other considerations) Otherwise our caravan in the borders at every opportunity.

ewerk 26189 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Booked a week in Portugal for the middle of July. Hopefully by then there will be a vaccine passport in place as I’ve managed to avoid a covid test up until now and really don’t fancy it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebrokendoll 7085 Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 just finished planning a van trip. headed for lake vyrnwy in wales for a night on 23rd july then booked on the zip wire thing in snowdonia on the 24th. heading to an old wild camping haunt near troutbeck the next and then off to midge land in the trossachs for a couple of nights before catching a ferry from kennacraig to islay and jura and hopefully puggying a sea eagles nest. (joking!) back to the mainland for a couple of nights wilding near ardfern and then a bit undecided as to boulmer/alnmouth or carrying on down the east coast to revisit the gannet colony at bempton. a night or two near edale in the peak district and then finishing off in the brecons. probably deeply offended the poor lass at calmac ferries in the process by horribly mispronouncing 'islay', so is it? is lay? eye la? eye lay? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 30246 Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 It’s eye-la, isn’t it? Have a Lagavulin or 12 for me while you’re there. Saw a few sea eagles plus one golden eagle on holiday on the Isle of Mull a few years back. Not to mention a minke whale, a herd of red deer and a sea otter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hedged me bets and called it all 3 in me conversation. by the time I'd finished booking the ferry I'm still undecided as to whether the lass on the phone was filled with deep pity or hatred for me! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
