I prefer Farmfoods.

[Bellend Sebastian]

Been invited to Brittany with some friends. Not sure, sounds a bit exotic for my tastes

[VLC86]

Where abouts in northern Norway?

Off to Tromso for 2 nights, Then Kiruna in Sweden (Ice Hotel) for 3 then down to Stockholm. Should be a good one!

Been Reykjavik, great city but very small. We hired a car to do the golden circle which was fantastic. So strange landing at the airport, driving into the capital and not seeing a car on the road. Loved it.

yeah like having a shit year and having something to look forward to.

**** if I lived by the loads of shit could happen I wouldn't have a season ticket at the football. loads of shit happens 1 week to the next in my life.

booking early means good discounts and plenty of time to save.

[DB11]

Won't be able to go anywhere this year, which is a shame. At least I won't need to use all my savings this summer though

[Rincewind]

You can also save by booking a last minute deal.

Sounds awful. Why would anyone go on holiday to an almost permanently dark, freezing cold place where nobody is and nothing is happening?

Northern Lights would be pretty cool.

 

Wouldn't mind going to the top of Norway either to see Polar BEars

It is. Spent a week in Kiruna as part of my degree course in winter and on the final night the Aurora was amazing. Was fvcking cold though.

[Nick]

I'm in Spain at the moment up in the hills behind Puertobanus.

18 degrees today, having a football siesta before beer o clock.

Different and pleasant way to start the new year.

Nice, I'm there in 2 weeks and Iv seen its -20, might leave my budgy smugglers at home.

[Guest Col city fan]

I'm still on one (Benidorm). We've had a great time but, stupid really, I'm missed my pug dog! (I love the bones of the bloody thing). So we'll be booking Britain over the summer so that we can take her with us...

Ribs n beer is a must, you can book online before you go. Cambrinus is a good place to go too as they have the most beers in Bruges, the food is good there too. The beer wall is good as well, and you have s good view of the canal. Would also recommend getting drunk and going on a canal tour. There is plenty more if you want any more info.

[ScouseFox]

sounds nice man. 

 

getting drunk and doing anything is pretty fun, getting drunk on belgian beer and going on a canal sounds great.

Only prob is mate is that there are no clubs. Some pretty late student bars with simply gorgeous women but no proper late place. The zot brewery is worth a tour as you get a beer included too

how big is belgium? group seems 50/50 between brussels an bruges and nobody has a really strong opinion either way. anyone tell me why one is better than the other?

 

 

or could we, let's say, stay in brussels have a day trip to bruges then get back to brussels to get whammed at night if there's not a lot going on in bruges or is that just wasting a weekend travelling around too much?

I went to Brussels with my mates for 4 nights and had 1 day in Bruges, takes like 1 hour on the train and everywhere there shuts at like 12. Best bet is to go to Brussels, then have a day in Bruges go sight see and then to Cambrinus, the Beer wall and then ribs n beer, then train back to Brussels. Go to Delirium and then Celtica till 7am and party mate. Hemgies in Brussels is also world class. We stayed in an apartment in a sick location in Brussels and was cheaper than a hotel so was fantastic.
