Holidays 2013

[DANGEROUS TIGER]

My 5 month Holiday is about to come to an end.

 

Scotland was truly beautiful - loved Edinburgh and the Highlands (I'll be back) really enjoyed the orkney breweries too. Followed the Tour de France a little through the mountains - that was great too but so hot. Only had rain during 1 day  and a couple of nights here since the beginning of July!!!! The rain was like rivers in the street though and a nightime electrical storm knocked out the internet for 3 days.

 

Quite a summer. Hope we have a good autumn too.

I am off to Scotland at the end of this month, in the North Eastern Highlands (Strathpeffer  will be my base).

 

Being half Scottish myself, I always like to go there. 

 

The distilleries are lovely, especially on the inside. Last year, at one of them, I had twelve single measures of different types, and all FREE!

Its fantastic, food is spot on.Weather is hot, best go towards the middle of september if you dont

like it roasting, although it will be still mid 30's

Food around the surrounding area in the restaurants and bars are all top notch, they even have a fair ground

People who havent been to the right place in Turkey, dont know what they are missing imo

The green forest is in Hisaranou, a dolmus bus ride away from this in ole deniz

Absolutely love hisaranou, been 3 times, the green antayla hotel nice

I convinced my greek mate at uni theres more to the UK then Leicester, and his mum suggested to do a tour of the UK. I got invited as well, it's pretty weird how i've lived here and probably seen more of teh touristy sights abroad than here in the UK.

Booking Budapest for November sometime soon. Anyone been? Don't know much about it but heard it's a really good place to visit...

Croatia is a lovely place.

 

but surprisingly expensive.

What's Dubai like? Any good?

What's Dubai like? Any good?

 

I really enjoyed it.

 

Always got to be a bit careful out there but I still managed to get absolutely off my head every night. Just make sure you stay in cabs when you are pissed and don't wander the streets.

 

Around the pools and stuff during the day it's great, dont have to tie anything down and no chance of any petty theft.

Off to the far N.E. of Scotland tomorrow, for eight days. Love the Northern highlands.

You can all have a nice rest for a few days, from my posts, which I am sure will please many people.

Just found out there's a Halloween Horror night at Universal Studios in LA when I'm there a week on Friday featuring a Walking Dead maze and set to get chased around by Zombies. Score!
