Think it's deliberately including a few places a bit off the beaten track and excluded most capital cities. And Venice not there, fuck right off. Arbitrary.

Venice is too busy, too touristy, too expensive. Even if it is arbitrary, it's right to exclude that smelly oddity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rome is on it, Edinburgh, Barcelona etc. All touristy, busy, expensive. I thought it was focused on architecture. Venice is unique and if you avoid San Marco, no more expensive than some others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venice is unique and if you avoid San Marco, no more expensive than some others. Spent 3 nights in Venice a few years back. Like you say it’s easy to get away from the ridiculously expensive places around San Marco. We found a little wine bar locals went in about 5 mins from there that was really inexpensive. Same with places to eat if you’re prepare to walk another 5 to 10 mins. I got sone great photos thanks to my habit of getting up at ridiculous o’clock when staying in unfamiliar places. And like you allude to, the architecture is like nowhere else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the last few years shes lived in Monaco like a lot of pro's. Anyways, she's come back home. I was out with a group yesterday and we saw her in the caf in the Dales. It was a beautiful day, One of the lads was 'Oh God county, she's come back to this' fuck off silly cunt. Why would she swap stunning roads, decent weather and clean and tidy place for this fucking shit hole? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 14055 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 11, I think. Although Tallinn was for about four hours in 1994 on a day trip from Helsinki so I'm not sure if it should really count, not least since the old town is probably a bit better looked after nowadays...

A day out in the National Parks here is superb. But as soon as you get back close to civilisation and the litter slowly builds it's fucking depressing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 30424 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 The litter where I live is a fucking disgrace like. The only people who ever seem to do anything about now are volunteers as well 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Europe is by far the best place on the planet to live with its immense diversity in a relatively small area. As that survey alludes to, I haven't even seen the vast majority of it, despite being quite a seasoned traveller bk (before kids). North America is just a huge monoculture in comparison. Never had the pleasure of the antipodes but there are some right dodgepots over that way and Oz looks way too Americanised to me. Japan is still on my bucket list, and I've missed two huge continents outs here, South America and Africa. Don't like South Africans and find poverty a bit shit though. Way things are going the Isle of Wight will probably be an exotic holiday for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perpignan old town is lovely, Carcasonne is mint, if a bit touristy, you’d be struggling to find somewhere in the south of France that isn’t worthy tbh.
