March 23, 201610 yr Day 2 of our Iceland trip/tour, add it to your bucket list, great place.Belting place. Would love to go back
March 23, 201610 yr Iceland is definitely on my "to do" list Tie it in with your aldi big shop. They're right next to each other.
March 23, 201610 yr Iceland is definitely on my "to do" list It's not cheap once you get there. the treks out into the wilds will set you back a large wedge. C86 if you get chance check out JS Watches in Reykjavik http://www.jswatch.com/ their craftsmanship is amazing
March 23, 201610 yr Jesus mate You'd have been able to drive back from Bristol in that time on Birchtours coaches (just) Good luck mate EFA
March 23, 201610 yr It's not cheap once you get there. the treks out into the wilds will set you back a large wedge. C86 if you get chance check out JS Watches in Reykjavik http://www.jswatch.com/ their craftsmanship is amazing Landed on Sunday then "car" to Selfoss for the night. I say car, got upgraded to a Toyota Land Cruiser... Lets just say I'm selling the car when I get back. Day 2 was Selfoss to Vik, on the way we viewed Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss waterfalls. Both worth the visit. Day 3 was a trip to skaftafell watefall,not mant visit here. Day 4 Vik to Laugarvatn. Stop off again at Seljalandsfoss and the had a couple of hours at the Secret Lagoon. Forget the Blue Lagoon and the hyper prices for a man made non-natural pool. Next was Gullfoss, fucking amazing. Next Geyser, not the best TBH. Evening meal at a farm where you overlooked the cows feeding while you ate. Best burger ever. Tomorrow is down to Reykjavik via Thingvellir, drop car off then beer and mooch around Reykjavik until Sunday. Today was brilliant, reading weather reports tonight is good for the aurora/northern lights which would cap today off. Price wise it is expensive but not has bad I thought would be. Beer wise, I have an app that tells me where the happy hours are in Reykjavik I'd move here, non of the shite we have in Europe! Plenty of churches, seen no mosques, yet,
March 23, 201610 yr Forgot to mention, chink tourists everywhere. I'd ban fucking selfie sticks. All the locals are very friendly. Defo one for your bucket list.

March 24, 201610 yr NZ is full of Chinese tourists. They're like chimpanzees let loose. And not a week goes by without a Chinese driver killing somebody.
March 24, 201610 yr NZ is full of Chinese tourists. They're like chimpanzees let loose. And not a week goes by without a Chinese driver killing somebody. pretty much everywhere is full of them now and what a strange bunch they are. Social skills are sadly lacking.
March 24, 201610 yr Any shouts for Croatia? We're thinking of having a week at the end of June with an 18 month old. Is it that type of place?
March 24, 201610 yr Any shouts for Croatia? We're thinking of having a week at the end of June with an 18 month old. Is it that type of place? I've been looking at Croatia with our 3 year old. Was thinking cavtat as it's close to dubrovnik but open to ideas!

March 24, 201610 yr Big shout out coming right at you for the end of June! http://www.hideoutfestival.com/ You can never start the kids too early when it comes to dance music Pal of mine did that last year Loved it
March 24, 201610 yr Any shouts for Croatia? We're thinking of having a week at the end of June with an 18 month old. Is it that type of place?Did porec a fee years back, no kids in tow, but small place with loads of restaurants and bars. No real beach to speak of and it was pebbles rather than sand. And you can get a trip over to Venice
March 24, 201610 yr Mum and dad went about 35yr ago and loved it and still bang on about how nice it was but have never been back.
March 25, 201610 yr Reykjavik is bang on. Beltin place, arrived yesterday in a blizzard, today glorious sunshine but bloody cold. Off for beer while it's happy hour(s), £3 instead of £6 a pint. Strongest beer you can buy in supermarket is 2.25%, they have government booze stores that sell normal stuff but the buggers shut today! If you come to Reykjavik get the Appy app, tells you where the nearest happy hour bar is We're also playing with mobile phone coverage in the uk, I got a 4g signal in middle of nowhere with no masts here. £15 for a sim card, 100mins, 100 texts and 1gb of data. Valid for two years without a top up. Edited March 25, 201610 yr by C86
March 25, 201610 yr Any shouts for Croatia? We're thinking of having a week at the end of June with an 18 month old. Is it that type of place? We went last July and absolutely loved the place, very unspoilt and unbelievably picturesque. We stayed in Baska Voda which is a lovely little town, about an hour from Split airport. We'll be going back to Croatia again and Dubrovnik, Hvar & Brac are on the wish list to visit. We stayed at Hotel Croatia, fantastic little hotel. http://www.orvas-hotels.com/anu/orvas-hotels/hotel-croatia/ Edited March 25, 201610 yr by Blondi
March 26, 201610 yr Any shouts for Croatia? We're thinking of having a week at the end of June with an 18 month old. Is it that type of place? We're doing Split & Hvar early-mid June. Take those rubber shoes, the beaches tend to be rocky, mostly, though there are some fabulous landlocked pools refreshed at high tide.
March 26, 201610 yr Thanks for tips everybody - haven't heard anybody with a bad word to say about the place yet :-)
April 11, 201610 yr Anyone been to Eindhoven? Contemplating a short weekend break this summer but wanna know if it's worth it or not.
April 12, 201610 yr Anyone been to Eindhoven? Contemplating a short weekend break this summer but wanna know if it's worth it or not. Big E will be your man for this I think. (Especially if it's gay bars your looking for)
April 12, 201610 yr Eindhoven, they all eat Crispy Pancake Rolls or 16oz steaks. The bars are that smokey you can't breathe.
