Where To Holiday 2016

Had a cracking view of Teide on the flight to Cape Verde - stunning to see the entire island and mountain with snow on it from high up.

That's why I don't get folk who sit reading The Telegraph or whatever throughout flights and never even glance out of the portholes (?) - like they've seen it all before...You see some cracking sights from the air, all The Balearics framed once on a flight from Sardinia and more recently Hudson Bay...

 

I can imagine it being fleeing up Teide, looks like (from a ship, or as Smiley says, the air) a mini-Himalayan peak plonked into the sea...

 

I had a look at those ferry trips, you're talking €60+ for a return trip, gone up a bit to say the least...

 

Nigel Benn credited his win over Gerald McClellan (I think) to his training runs up Teide.

 

Next Week: The Matterhorn.

Anyone been to Zadar in Croatia?

Last week as it happens

 

It was a much better place to be once the sun came out

 

Small old town and not much to do on a quiet overcast gloomy Sunday

 

Did decent boat trip; Def worth an excursion if you're there a few days

 

Was worth it in terms of the flights (£28 return) and accommodation (£40) being cheap but wouldn't want to pay more than that, unless it was dead sunny

Who did you fly with? Did you go to Plitvice Lakes national park?

Ryanair, out sat at 17.30 back tues at 23.30

 

We decided to do the boat trip to the kornati islands as it was a nice day and didn't fancy 4 hours on a coach to get to the lakes, though they would no doubt have been a better overall destination

Just booked bkk for October £330 with Qatar.

 

Less than 2 hour connection both ways.

 

Never known prices that low.

 

Paid less than £400 mind for June.....

 

My lad's going in July for 2 months, flights sound cheap, were they direct from Qatar Airways?

 

Flew with Qatar to Sri Lanka last month, excellent service.
