    We went there for a couple of days a couple of weeks back, mid-week when it was cheap.

    It was our (belated) wedding anniversary.

    Actually, it was GREAT! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

      Leaving her a note
      Faster, faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death.

      Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead.

        Just over a week in Russia at the beginning of the year. A week in the Swiss Alps during February. A week in Crete in october. I'll probably take the whole of october off any way.
        Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

          Hitch Hiking - wonderful.

          Not so practical now as people generally don't trust each other (probably with good reason).

          When I was about 15, a mate and I hitch hiked from Cardiff to Edinburgh during the summer holidays. It took absolutely ages and we were propositioned by pervy lorry drivers.

          We got the train back!

          You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

            Had a week skiing in Austria. I am taking 2 weeks at home in August and 2 weeks in the Dominican Republic at Xmas so yes, I have had to cut back on expensive holidays this year.

              I had to hitch hike due to lack of funds throughout my 10 years at uni. Most of the time it was a really good way to travel.

              I am always up for picking up hitchers (when in my car) as a way of paying back the universe, but one never sees them now.

                  I used to hitch hike. Those lorry drivers are nice chaps. Their tea used to be so relaxing I could fall asleep. Made my arse sore for some reason though.

                    Most people do it on the train.

                      You need to slip some bromide in their tea...
