RonnieTodger Posted 22 July 2013 Posted 22 July 2013 I very rarely take any currency with me to any country, always use their ATM's. I think it works out better financially and you don't run the risk of carrying big wedge with you. Spain i'd always do this for sure, there's usually about a £2.50 charge per withdrawal so I withdraw about £400 euros and then the same again once that's ran out etc. So the charges are minimal. Ahh right, thanks mate.
Uncle Albert Posted 23 July 2013 Posted 23 July 2013 Ayia napa is 20-25 minutes on a bus, personally I go in a taxi from protoras. Nightlife in protoras is ok not a lads holiday sort of place as there's a lot of families. But still the bars stay open late and there's a couple of late night clubs. Activities in the day you've got the usual water sports jet skiing, banana boat etc. Also I'd recommend the booze cruise. Was meant to go Cyprus yesterday but it got cancelled as I split up with my girlfriend. Lost £400 deposit. Not happy Thanks for the information mate, ever heard of the Odessa Hotel? We're going for a friends wedding, 4 lads and a bird, so going to head into Napa a few of the nights I think. Did you use the Water Park in Protaras or in Napa?
purpleronnie Posted 23 July 2013 Posted 23 July 2013 Scotland would be probably the best country in the world if they didn't have shit weather and so many biting insects. And all the murders and drunks..

Soar Fox Posted 23 July 2013 Posted 23 July 2013 Thanks for the information mate, ever heard of the Odessa Hotel? We're going for a friends wedding, 4 lads and a bird, so going to head into Napa a few of the nights I think. Did you use the Water Park in Protaras or in Napa? We had booked to stay in the Odessa. Really nice hotel and right on the beach. Never went to the waterpark but heard the Ayia Napa one is the better out of the 2. why cancel it? Couldnt you have gone anyway. With her? No chance.

Soar Fox Posted 23 July 2013 Posted 23 July 2013 so she went and you didn't? We'd only paid the deposit, so just cancelled it and lost the deposit money.
ADK Posted 23 July 2013 Posted 23 July 2013 And all the murders and drunks.. Never met any murderers or drunks tbh. Certainly no more than in the rest of the UK.

Uncle Albert Posted 26 July 2013 Posted 26 July 2013 Has anyone gone Ibiza but rented a Villa? Looking at doing this for the World Cup next Summer!
Fox92 Posted 26 July 2013 Posted 26 July 2013 Off to southern Portugal Jan time. Just a change of scenery will be nice I think Been to Portugal 10 times. Beautiful Country, especially southern Portugal.
bovril Posted 26 July 2013 Posted 26 July 2013 On holiday from today wooo. A bit of hiking in the mountains then off to Skopelos for a week.
MikeyT Posted 26 July 2013 Posted 26 July 2013 Not the most exotic of locations but I'm heading up to Filey near Whitby for 5 days mid August. Should be good up there for photography, which I'm looking forward to a lot.
Webbo Posted 26 July 2013 Posted 26 July 2013 On holiday from today wooo. A bit of hiking in the mountains then off to Skopelos for a week. Do you own your own property in Bulgaria Bovril?I was looking in the estate agents windows there and the prices are ridiculously cheap.
Ric Flair Posted 26 July 2013 Posted 26 July 2013 Has anyone gone Ibiza but rented a Villa? Looking at doing this for the World Cup next Summer! Wrong country mate!
bovril Posted 27 July 2013 Posted 27 July 2013 Do you own your own property in Bulgaria Bovril?I was looking in the estate agents windows there and the prices are ridiculously cheap. Yes they are, but I don't at the moment. I'm under 30 and have worked most of my adult life outside of the UK. I've been in Sofia for four years though and like the city and my job here so I was thinking about buying a little apartment. Hope you had a nice time in Sunny Beach.

I look forward to seeing them.
Webbo Posted 27 July 2013 Posted 27 July 2013 Hope you had a nice time in Sunny Beach. Really nice thanks. I'll definitely consider it again next year.
Rincewind Posted 27 July 2013 Posted 27 July 2013 I had my Camara magazine arrive today and amongst all the junk mail they put in was lrtters and info offering a discount on holidays to Turkey. From a quick glance the saving is £600 for a family and includes trips and excursions. I won't be able to use it but there is a code to claim it. If anyone is interested I can send whatever I received so it can be checked over and the small print examined. Otherwise it will go in the bin. I do not see my name on it so don't think it's exclusive to me but best to check. There are a list of dates to choose from 2013/14
ousefox Posted 27 July 2013 Posted 27 July 2013 Anybody been to Girona? Can get filghts straight there from Manchester and looks quite a nice place to go to for a few days in September with some mates.
Toffee_Fox Posted 28 July 2013 Posted 28 July 2013 Anybody been to Girona? Can get filghts straight there from Manchester and looks quite a nice place to go to for a few days in September with some mates. Yes, few places near by such as Lloret De Mar which has quite a few clubs. Barcelona not to far for a day! Fly into Girona airport though and not Barcelona if possible! Barcelona is about 4 hours away.

Quite an easy place to get to for me as Manchester do flights so I'll hopefully get that sorted!
Tom17LCFC Posted 29 July 2013 Posted 29 July 2013 Flying into Girona next saturday actually, staying in L'estartit on the coast, be nice to get away for a bit. Hoping to spend the majority of it intoxicated on the beach.
