Strong calf game
What happened to the girl. Looking suspect.
So while I joked about visiting Tenby for my sole summer holiday, it is fucking lovely.
Iāve got tea back at the house, but it just felt worth paying that bit extra this morning
That looks positively Mediterranean
Maybe I will end up going to Tenby
Tenby is gorgeous during the sunny months and out of school holidays, so much to do in the area aswell!
If youāve got time en route home take a little detour to Rhossili Bay, alwaysbrated one of the top beaches in the uk/world.
Only 3 more weeks until I head to Port Douglas for a week, Iāve never been to Far North Queensland or seen the Great Barrier Reef despite being in my early 30s, funny you travel all these places in the world but take so long to see some of the major attractions in your own country.
Mrs has canned Europe in November / December though, apparently its to cold for her now .
Isnāt Queensland quite tropical in itās climate? Itās where the big fucking spiders are right?!
Yeah itās tropical, Iām going in the middle of winter and average temperature will be mid 20s, so Iāll get a break from the mid teens weather of Melbourne haha.
Hahaha yeah Dangerous wildlife all over Australia, forget the spiders though, the crocodiles are the threat in North Queensland.
Went to India. Met Ossie Ardiles at Amritsar airport, would you Adam n Eve it?!
Off to Dubai this Thursday and the weather is stressing me out.
40+
Iām off to Spain again second time this year. Sun, short flight and football barsā¦oh yes. I have travelled the world on business and no thanks.
Going to Crete at the end of the month.
@Bl1nk didnāt you go to Crete earlier this year? Any recommendations?
I worked in Crete for a few years in Rethymnon.
If you want somewhere lively and like clubbing, which I donāt, go to Malia.
Itās full of bars called The Red Lion and places that sell a full English breakfast all day and drunk people staggering around fighting each other.
If you want somewhere a bit more normal go to Rethymnon or Hania.
Thereās plenty to do and loads of clubs and bars but not as manic as Malia and the further from the main town you go, the quieter it gets.
If you get a chance, go into the mountains and visit some of the villages where the locals live.
Also the south of Crete has some of the best beaches Iāve seen, like Elafonissi where theyāve filmed loads of adverts, also thereās loads of trips to Santorini.
If you like history go to Knossos, which had the oldest civilisation in Europe, and itās worth having a walk through Samaria Gorge, which is the longest in Europe.
Crete is a great place and the locals are really friendly but it is really hot.
I really liked Rethymnon.
@InvincibleDB10 shit man I should have consulted you before I was going to Crete I may have to go back now.
Great, looks like weāve conceived a good plan so far. Weāll stay for 4 nights on the south side of the island right under Rethimno and in close proximity to 4 very attractive beaches as far as I could gather, Kalypso for example looks amazing and shouldnāt be crowded as itās fairly secluded.
And in the afternoons itās a 40 minute drive to Rethimno so weāll have enough opportunities to look around the town. The last 3 nights weāll move over to Chania and from then the plan is to take trips to Elafonissi and Balos lagoons as well as Falassarna beach which all look fabulous.
Thanks for the tips!
Great man!
After 3 weeks of interrailing last summer (Where are you going on holiday?), Iāll go to South Tyrol and Lake Garda this year and maybe Ticino on my way back as we take our 2 dogs with us and my GF just got herself a VW van.
After that Iāll just enjoy the region where I live (Lake Constance), where summer definitely makes up for a rather depressing and foggy winter.
Cheeky side street sunset last night in Alvor, Portugal.
Me smashing one of the best things Iāve eaten recently into my chops, a very tasty fish cataplana
Iām organising a stag do in Lisbon next May and Iām buzzing! Havenāt been to Portugal for about 10 years so Iām very keen to go back because I loved it the first couple times.
Weāre going to be there for the last day of season so hoping to bag tickets to a Benfica, Porto or Sportig Lisbon game!
Similar mate, its easily been 15 years since I came and its nice to come back as it is a really nice place. Weāve got a car aswell, so doing a day trip to Lisbon on Saturday!
Fuck you fuck you fuck you
