Yup - many years ago on my stag do. Don’t remember much about it as I was trousered for most of the time.

Cheap beer, hot chica’s and loads of moody Russians are my only recollections.

Ladies are stubbibg, have to agree.. buildings are nice.

Yes mate. Bizarre brekky. Scrammy eggs, bacon, pancakes, jam, the lot.

Are you having a pint for breakfast?

….flying home from Kos tomorrow afternoon, just hope these delays don’t impact us. I’ll be happy if the Kos flight takes off at 07.00 from Speke in the morning as it’ll be a positive that we could be ok.

Fingers crossed.

Arrived in Antalya, many golfers on the plane en route to Belek. Old harbour still as attractive as I remember.

….our flight from Liverpool earlier in the summer got re-directed to Budapest because one of the Turkey Teeth brigade was drugged and boozed up trying to light her ciggy. Flight home wasn’t much better, certainly put us off Turkey even though we found a decent hotel out there.

Back from a week in Istria, Croatia. Lovely region. Britain seems so mentally frantic by comparison.

Just managed to nab a decent flight to Miami, never been to the states before, some of my pals are suggesting a drive to the Keys. Anyone any advice on where to visit? Have to sort an ESTA which I’ve been told I should’ve done before booking

Shouldn't be a problem unless you have convictions. It's just a visa waiver programme.

I have got one sorted a day or two before travel to the US in the past.

Had a few days there in 1986 , all I can remember is it was boiling hot. Nice to see some photos, mine are in a box somewhere.

Cycling trip tomorrow, Vienna to Prague, 290 miles in 4 days. Been to both on weekend breaks, so will be nice to see a bit more away from the Citys.

Completed today. What a fantastic country the Czech Rep is. Deffo do again but keep away from the major Cities, so much to see.

You would not recognise it now, investment in the area is unbelievable.

2nd day flew from Antalya to Diyarbakir, believed to be the oldest city in Europe and Asia - the old town is circled by a huge wall and within is a maze of alleyways. Not really what I would call a holiday destination for most people but will go back for a couple of days to explore properly and enjoy more Kurdish coffee (which I had for the first time)

The drive from Miami to the Keys is incredible.

It’s been years since I’ve been to the Keys but I’d highly recommend Bahia Honda State Park for the beaches, John Pennekamp State Park (great for snorkeling), and, of course, Key West.
