[NSC] Where shall I go on holiday this year?

[Mackenzie]

Greek islands, island hopping on the ferries.

I love Greece.

If I started this thread., curryface would accuse me of not being empathetic to anyone struggling financially.

Curryface?
Have I missed an in joke?

Shoreham beach in August.

 

[Wozza]

I haven't been on a package holiday for years. Quite appealing now.

Seems you can no longer go anywhere for £179 for 10 days - although I haven't checked Teletext yet.

 

[Taybha]

A 7 day Norwegian cruise,3 stops 3 chances of a giant halibut whilst she gets her hair done,sorted.

Hire a narrowboat. Heaven.

Or a Broadland cruiser

 

[maresfield seagull]

The Algarve. Avoid Albufeira.
Beaches, bars, restaurants, bike rentals, boat trips. Not expensive at all by Western European standards. Personally, I love Vilamoura (that's why I live here) but there are other more "authentic" beach towns.
Avoid July and August.

Lovely place If I was a golfer possibly heaven
But I know not if the courses are de rigour ?

Butlins at Bognor

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Have we sorted him out yet?

Paris in the spring time?

I just spotted one on page 17/63

We have got an AirB+B in Sennan Cove again. I'd never go abroad with kids. Last year it was record temperatures so this year it will be pissing it down for sure. At least I'll be able to watch our Champions' League qualifies on the telly in peace.

Of the recommendations....I don't like crowds. I've done many package holidays and enjoyed them, but staying in an isolated hotel in Croatia (Poric) was lovely (you must have a car - we flew to Turin and hired one there), but further south, across the water to Kefalonia, was better. How many songs has "Open your eyes" been pasted into, I wonder?

Northumberland followed by the Lake District once the schools go back

Looking like Newcastle away rearranged for mid May, so I'm hoping to do exactly that.

Absolutely marvellous scenes!

You clearly know @Hamilton well.

 

[Lifelong Supporter]

Thought of a gentle cruise down to Northern Spain but health issues preclude that at the moment. Going for a week in Belfast instead. Have tried Eire (Killarney and Dublin) in the past. Mrs is excited about it. Looking forward to the Titanic and Crumlin Road Gaol.

Just en route back from Thailand…….lovely country with fabulous people. Loads to see and do, and not expensive once you’re there.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Short haul - Gothenburg, Sweden or Bologna, Italy

Long haul - Salvador, Brazil or Cartagena, Colombia

Domestic - Northumberland or Highlands and Islands

Bologna is a great call. Much underrated medieval city (feat. thousand year old university) and a glorious foodie heaven. Much-neglected ancient artworks just left to basically/criminally rot on outdoor walls. Oh, and for purposes of football tourism, a very decent Serie A team. Smashing place. And if that's not enough to float yer boat, Florence is a 40 minute train journey away. These are a few of my favourite things...

 

[BLOCK F]

Blimey, how the poor hard up NSC’ers live.
Life must be terrible!

 

[zefarelly]

Another vote for BOlogna, especially if you like things with wheels on them, fine food and wine. Everything is within an hours drive or less

Greek islands, island hopping on the ferries.

I love Greece.

Spent a month last year on the Greek island of Kos at Kefalos, a village in the far west. Only intended to spend a week or so there but was idyllic. Just a village but with everything you need.

Yeah. I live in Jakarta but keep ending up back in Thailand on breaks.
