Have you been anywhere nice lately?

[RcRotaryMadness]

Perhaps time for a thread to share your travels on... I have the holiday blues having recently come back from Skiathos (Greece), with the weather here in the UK being so changeable (rubbish lol) I can't help wishing I was still there. Not to mention the happier people, more relaxed way of life and cheaper/fresher foods they have over there. I couldn't believe it when I saw a Melon the size of a small child for the price of €0.50

Anyway, if you're after a nice, relaxing holiday with a little something to do & see then I can recommend Skiathos as a good place to go, heres a small selection of photos from my phone:

I could easily be a Greek i think.. I like the lower standards but easy going way of life over there, much more hearty way of life. Never did so much swimming in the sea as well... almost like fresh water, low salt and very clean. Also visited some of the scenes of mama mia which was a nice trip out.

I last had a holiday in 1986 to Great Yarmouth. Only been abroad once (france with the school in 1982) & stayed in a boarding school type building in Le havre which I bet someone on here knows it lol. I've never been in a financial situation to afford a holiday :(

Have you been anywhere nice lately?

Went to Cuba in 2006 as it was somewhere I always wanted to go ...... It was a massive let down for me. I had a small windfall in 2007 and we did a last minute self catering to Zante and it was awesome for all the reasons mentioned above. Whilst there I had a large tribal type tattoo on my arm and it wasn't til we got home someone pointed out that it was based around a large number 13 !!

Now I'm not superstitious but I've had nothing but crap luck since lol and been skint since then to :p

I was thinking the same thing :)

We visited Cuba a couple of years ago and were similarly disappointed.

Not holiday, but for work I spent a week in San Francisco recently, great weather, sunny but cool enough to walk around without getting baked.

Cheers[COLOR=#3e3e3e][/COLOR]Michalis I love the place hope to revisit soon.. maybe pop in and see you next time lol!

lol @ Don with the 13 tattoo - interesting anyway - a lot of people come away happy from Greece unless you get caught up in Athens when the riots are on (seem to happen every few weeks atm!)

I did do a tour of the caribbean years ago including a 1 day stop in Cuba, was ok where I was but wouldn't spend a week there, the Jamaican falls were something else though =)

[milly0812]

How did I never spot the '13'. Lmao [ATTACH]64843[/ATTACH]

[one life fly it]

Not been abroad since my honeymoon 9 years ago , really don't get on well with the heat. The better half has a holiday with her mum abroad now:single_eye: all I have to do is suffer the out of focus holiday snaps:hopelessness:

My holidays over here seem to include flying of some sort , strange that ?

The Wife suggested rc hotel in Corfu , looks great but you have the heat thing again .

[RcRotaryMadness]

Lmao.. it looks like a smiley face if you turn it on its side. Least it can remind you have a great holiday in Zante anyways!

[panosg]

Going back to Greece to see my parents and my sisters next month.
10 days of warm weather, good food and see all my old mates!
Flying to Zante, staying couple days to see some old friends there and off to Patra.
4-5 days there and off to Athens to see some more....loL.
