THE TRAVEL THREAD

[Em Dott]

I agree there are other places, and there are other places we wanna see for culture and experience, but this is intended to be a relaxing holiday through and through for both of us.

 

Will check out holiday pirates.

 

Cheers.

Experiences with Egypt?

Tryna book a holiday there next month and all I'm reading about on EVERY review is rude Germans and Russians..

 

Went to Egypt in June. Staff in the hotel were really friendly, treated you like royalty. But you will get pounced on when you leave the hotel with people trying to get you into shops etc.

 

We got locked in a shop and weren't allowed to leave until we bought something, 4 guys trapped us in (me & the missus).

 

The worst area for that is Naama Bay. If you don't mind the hassle then go for it.

 

As for the Russians, they are very rude, look you up and down, push in queues, no manners, treat the staff like sh*t. There were no Germans when I went, as Germany has put a tourist restriction on travelling to Egypt, but the staff said the Germans were decent people, on par with British. They just didn't like the Russians. There was a lot of Polish out there too but they were all alright, and loads of Egyptian families, but again they are all alright.

 

Me and the Mrs are looking atE

The Mrs and I are looking at Egypt and Marocco for next year. Around May times

I wana go Egypt see the pyramids, hot weather and actually try go into some of the tombs like they do on some of those afrocentric history dvds excursions. Marcocco was the back up plan as we wanted initially wanted somehwere not in europe, but not a long 7+hour flight.

 

my spec for this holiday destination was : Black people, different culture, relaxing, culture to explore, hot weather, not a long flight.

 

If anyone comes across any deals for a egypt marocco do share.

 

equally, i will go anywhere so any break for 2 share again 

[dub]

isn't egypt/morocco mainly arabs though? ie the 'black people' mark doesn't really get ticked

[time_bomb]

Sicily is average in my opinion, weather hasn't been as good as I expected, few sunny days but rest a bit cloudy, cold at night.

If anyone ever comes check out the catacombs in Palermo, must be the weirdest freakiest shit I've ever experienced.

[Anderson]

If there's any white bruddas in your team reluctant to go tell them they will get LOVE like nothing they've ever experienced, WMSW in Brazil for real.

How much love me old pal?

You will be poking 10s every night without even a quick spray of the armani code brah.

Brazil is the best place Ive been. Got a lot of time for salvador. Spent 2 weeks there.

Rio is the shit though. Too much.

Also went sao paulo (quite cool) and florianopolis (beautiful place and white women) if anyone wants info on any place.

Will be going carnival 2016 for sure. Never been anywhere with such an abundance of sexy women. 90% are THICK.

 It being Africa there has to be some blacks. It isnt the main priority though, the culture and sights should be enough in this case.

Anyone been Iceland before...thinking about a long weekend there. Hot spring baths etc

[Nidge Weasle]

on the hit list for next year.

 

meant to be amazing

Anyone been on a short break by themselves? I'm seriously considering it, just want to get away from people and clear my head a bit. It could be anywhere...even within the UK. Looking for somewhere that has shops/restaurants/bars nearby. Bonus would be a pool/private hot tub or jaccuzi.

no they are not still

[Ephren Taylor]

I wanna go somewhere relatively close for my birthday just before christmas.

 

After seeing Reykjavik on the Apprentice, I'd like to visit one of the hot springs

 

Not if it requires a stupid budget though

 

 

Alternatively, I was thinking of Oslo or Sweden, just not quite sure what to expect.

Went to madrid on my own to watch last years champions league semi. Was sick would definitely go away on my own again

[Niall Ferguson]

Travelling on your own is the one. In Ibiza I took a day out to roll on my jays. Met some great ppl and saw some great things.
