Afroman Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Nice one, How long did you go for and how much all in? We payed close to £700 each due to half term (only time my mrs could travel) 23rd may 30th may safe gunner! sounds like you had a blast. I am going next Tuesday for 8 nights. Cant wait. Is it better to book your excursions, activities etc prior to getting there? Or you get a better deal whe out there? I was gonna book the quad biking and camel riding via viator We booked when we got there. However depending on who you come across different people told us they could have got us some of them for cheaper. Oh and everyone that we spoke to said that we should have done snorkling! We thought we had to be experienced swimmings but we were told you dont have to be. Snorkling is a must according to everyone else bless. Yeah I think I will book it from here. its only £15 for quad biking + Tea drinking. 2hours +. Mad cheap . I was considering the snorkeling too. Reason why I resurrected the swimming thread I think I will book it too man. Always wanted to use my gopro under water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The King Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 S.E Asia >> Thats the shit. Would go every year (except to Bali) / Went Egypt 10 years ago. Thought it was deeeeaaaaad. Sounds like I need to revisit. Full of smelly rude people after anything they can get. Hotels looked ok but fuck going away and jamming in some resort with hundreds of others. Private villa or apartment/condo is the only way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rippy Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 I've still not done that route yet! Should've done it this summer, but I've come back to London to job hunt. So Palawan's the only real beach spot I've reached in SE Asia. Boracay was still nice, just its small and we went during Chinese new year so it was overpacked with twats. Otherwise I've just hit China, HK, South Korea and Japan, and Kuala Lumpur in Malay. Some personal recommendations in China aside from Beijing and Shanghai- Zhangjiajie (Avatar mountains) and Guilin/Yangshuo, though I don't know how well the view will hold up around Dec, and I guess it may not work out if you're just doing a quick trip. Only met Aussies when I went to Japan Didn't help I traveled with one there tbh. She says Bali is full of them, plus Dec/Jan is their summer holidays as well I think? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it better to book your excursions, activities etc prior to getting there? Or you get a better deal whe out there? I was gonna book the quad biking and camel riding via viator Book when you're out there. 100% go and see the Bedouins, I found them so fascinating and they're mad friendly. Quad biking through the desert is a must as well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The King Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Don't get me wrong it's a beautiful beautiful place and you probably could avoid them but I'd much rather go Vietnam and have a blaze at a home stay in Sapa then go find a quiet beach/cove rather than deal with Australians Personal preference.

dub Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 For cash withdrawal outside of Europe Halifax Clarity = 19-26%APR interest = 0.05-0.07% per day Metro = 1.9% one-off So if you're outside of Europe and you can pay it off in the same month you're probably getting a better deal than Metro will give you. But its free on Metro inside of Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heero Yuy Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Ryanair is known for tempting customers with cheap fares but demanding fees for anything from printing boarding passes at the airport to checking in additional bags. The airline’s boss, Michael O’Leary, once mooted charging passengers to use the toilet mid-flight but the plans never came to fruition. fuck it, just strip out the seats and charge people extra if they want one.
