Big City Girl Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 Love California, think it's my favourite holiday destination  Where are you going / what are you doing?  Used to be a pain with flights from Manchester but believe Thomas Cook do Manchester to LA & San Fran as well now for reasonable money  They have also started doing Manchester to Cape Town in the Winter as well, it's on my list Mine too. It's basically reverse of what I did last time. Last time was San Francisco, Big Sur, LA.  This time it's LA, Santa Barbara, Big Sur, Monterey and Berkeley. I don't think I'd ever get bored of visiting.  I'm flying from Manc to Heathrow to LA, returning San Fran, Heathrow to Manc. My mate tried to get the exact flights but going from London and they quoted him £300 more. Being a Northerner is ace.

White on Tyne Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 I'm doing San Francisco, Sonoma, Lodi and Carmel/Monterey in June. Hope to be able to see through the fog of San Francisco and the heavy mist caused by Zinfandel. Quote
Big City Girl Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 It was very foggy last time we went over the golden gate so hoping its clear this next time Quote

jayjayoghani Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 Has anyone been to the Gambia? I can get a week there for £428 at the end of Jan.

Sweep Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 Isn't that the favourite spot for the older lady looking a young buck with a extra large cock? Â It certainly is, one of the Mother-In-Laws friends visits every year, from what we can gather, she visits the exact same resort every year as well. The dirty old bat Quote

Youri McAnespie Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) I've decided upon Albania as the centre of a midsummer break/roadtrip, a choice based in wisdom I reckon. Edited January 18, 2017 by Youri McAnespie Quote

Youri McAnespie Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) Go anyway, you might somehow befriend and win the trust of the President, Jammy Yammy (pictured below), an in the process get some good drinking, drugging and shagging (not with him) in, like the bloke in Last King Of Scotland...

kent_white Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 Fucked it off - going to Budapest instead - £260 including flights and a decent gaff with Airbnb.  Usual mithering for recommendations begins in earnest! :-) Quote

All the guide books will tell you not to venture onto Vaci Street (muggers/scammers/Pro's etc) We were never off it, it's the best street in Pest. Quote

If you've any tips I'd love to hear them. I know very little about it but it's a place I've always fancied seeing - so any advice would be gratefully received. Â Is it safe to handle the money? Quote

I know very little about it but it's a place I've always fancied seeing - so any advice would be gratefully received. Is it safe to handle the money? Try the aptly named Castle Hill district in Buda, lovely medieval streets on that part. The very aptly named Robinson Restaurant, located uniquely on a small island in the City's park, excellent choice if I say so myself.  More central, the Karpatia, an authentic gypsy restaurant. Food was excellent in there.  I also bizarrely dined in a synagogue there, another unique experience especially when the security appeared from nowhere and searched us on entry...  I was intrigued by the huge fruit and veg market in Pest and spent hours randomly wandering about in there.  Obvious tourist choice is the spa(outdoor health one, not the overpriced shit shop) over on the other side of Chain Bridge...  For sheer opulence, most have a bite to eat at the New York Cafe, but the locals much prefer Cafe Gerbeaud, beautiful place and absolutely gorgeous FBCs.  Decent place, just mention Adam Bogdan, they'll buy you drinks all night.....  Edit, the synagogue was the Kazinczy St one.
