Bayfox Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 Just booked a week all Inc in laganas zante. Know it will be lively in august but as its our wedding anniversary. Anyone got any hidden gems on the island so we can get away from the drink fuelled chaos for a bit.
Alexikokopops Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 One of the best things & a unique way of seeing the city are the Duck Tours. You get on an ex WWII amphibious vehicle - half the tour through Boston & the rest in the Charles River. It's got an Apocalypse Now feel about it (without the napalm).Just so long as they don't end up like the London ones...http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-24328708
pSinatra Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 Just so long as they don't end up like the London ones... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-24328708 It feels like you're sitting in a tin bath & there is a sense that you might die.......but that's half the fun. They actually feel more dangerous on the road than they do in the water.
lavrentis Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 Eurostar to Brussels. Easy as from leicester. No need to drive and only have to move down escalator at St . Pancras. Cheers !
Unabomber Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 Cheers ! I would second Brussels, great city and easy to get to.
lavrentis Posted 5 February 2014 Posted 5 February 2014 Okay cheers, next question. For cliffs and rough seas, where would anyone recommend. All of UK and ireland is cool cheers
absolutelegend Posted 10 February 2014 Posted 10 February 2014 Cheers mate. We're staying at the Marriott Marquis in times sq. it was £1500 for a week so it better be good. It's got those cool elevators and 1,900 rooms so expecting it to be big. We have already booked to see New York nicks and a show on Broadway. The brewery tour sounds good, I'll do that when the mrs is seeing some bullshit sex and the city thing I stayed in the marquis last year - was really good. I've also stayed at the renaissance, also in times square, and I much prefer the marquis. Location is ace, exec lounge is good, and the revolving restaurant / bar on the top floor is good for a few cocktails. My room was pretty big by ny standards. I'm sure you will enjoy! 2 of my favourite restaurants in ny are Del Firsco's (6th Ave) and Quality Meats (Central Park South), give them a go.
Alexikokopops Posted 11 February 2014 Posted 11 February 2014 Times Square is basically Piccadilly Circus on steroids. It's one of those places where I'm not sure why people end up going there (just like Piccadilly Circus in fact). I say that, I still went there. I think I developed epilepsy. The Toys R Us there has a part designed like Jurassic Park and a Ferris wheel. Worth it just for that. Thinking about it I had to walk through it at about half 9 on a Sunday morning on the way back to my mate's apartment after we lost the play-off semi to Watford. It hadn't really kicked into gear and it was probably more interesting seeing it then than later in the day. At least I think it hadn't. I just spend half an hour walking along shaking my head after that match. Then went to an all you can drink champagne brunch and got smashed. Good times.
ozleicester Posted 11 February 2014 Posted 11 February 2014 Okay cheers, next question. For cliffs and rough seas, where would anyone recommend. All of UK and ireland is cool cheers Im not sure about cliffs, but we went to St Davids a couple oof years ago.. took a jet boat ride out around the islands... simply spectacular (fvcking cold though). Giants Causeway and the North West coast of Irelend is beautiful, the walkway bridge (whos name escapes me) is delightful.
