seanc80 benson My brother went on the Normandy trip last year & thoroughly enjoyed it. He is a trained killer though
vinnyt77 Smallman1 Have you been since they adopted the Euro last year? Mrs Vin was there in July ’23, and said prices were way up over previous visits…
rhouses Fucking hell, walked right into phuket monsoon. And taxis are fleecing like I’m in Goa. Do appreciate the lush green and barely any people around. @vinnyt77 any decent places to eat? Restaurants not streets?
RichM rhouses I enjoyed this place when we were there a few years ago https://suayrestaurant.com/suay-cherngtalay
Hursty IndustryStandard we go quite a lot as my brother lives in the capital but has a place on the coast near the party island of Pag. What can I say, its a beautiful country with stunning islands and coastline. Everyone speaks english and the Mediterranean fayre is reasonably priced along with drink
rhouses Goddamn it’s great to be back in Bangkok after 7 days in Phuket. Phuket is a 3 day trip at best.
rhouses Along_the_Wire it’s like Goa with a little more finesse and legal weed. Food in Goa is much better tho.
rhouses mono-stereo lol it was fine. I was more upset about the sub par food and basically everything double the price as Bangkok. You’ve done a couple of days in Bombay mono! Nothing is worse than that when it comes to smell.
rhouses Millsy haha I recall you read Shantaram, there’s a great bit on how Bombay smells when he lands for the first time. Couldn’t have been more true. The smell of drying fish, shit, and the sea matched with heavy humidity is an experience.
gcw I am 6 hours into my first ever trip to Benidorm. I am struggling to stop laughing…..it must be the Mecca for chavs. I’ve never seen so many tattoos. This is day 1 of 4 and I am genuinely interested to see how I’m gonna feel on day 4!
