Hotel in city centre but other than get stoned & go to the sex museum I don't have the foggiest what else to do. Go to Volendam for a couple of hours (lovely little village). Have haring (herring). The best, I reckon, is from Stubbes Haring near the central station. Utterly fantastic, and now is the best time because the fish is fresh. Walk around the Vondelpark. Rijksmuseum. Ajax Stadium tour. Visit the diamond quarter where you can easily spend a couple of grand on the missus's ring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a rock club in red lights area with lot of bikers... for some reason they like to play Trivial pursuit and may ask you to join. Dont. If you do, don't play alone from start to finish without giving turn to anyone else. And avoid those girls. Eventho it's red lights area, they are not whores. But still, stay away.

Wolfie Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Just had the weekend in Amsterdam with some mates. Either it's been a very long time (which it has) or the cannabis there is a LOT stronger than it used to be. Saturday afternoon was an interesting one - mainly doing my best not to fall into a canal - and that was on the mildest stuff. Just say no, kids. Not big or clever.

Ewetube Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 We go to the lovely island of Kos on Tuesday week. We went for a week last year, 9 days after my hernia op and had a great time. This time we're going for a fortnight and I should be a lot more comfortable in the "gentlemen bits" area, so really looking forward to it.

I'll never forget watching my mate slowly trying to pull his hand off between his feet for two hours. Wouldnt smoke it myself but was well oiled by then so couldn't stop laughing/winding him up.

Mostyn6 Posted July 25, 2016 Author Share Posted July 25, 2016 just had my birthday weekend golfing in Wales. Played Llangollen on Friday morning, then drove to a friend's chalet in Phiwellhi, then played Nefyn golf course on Saturday, then yesterday, played Welshpool, managed to hit two sheep with golf balls as they are scattered all over the course!! Great weekend though with 9 mates. Off back to Crete in 2 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarrowRam Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Having a couple of days in Derby with the family. Really enjoy coming here even when the football isn't on. Went to the ipro shop to get a few bits this morning. Then went to Nottingham castle. Enjoyed the castle but Nottingham is a rough old town. Back in Derby now. Looking forward to a meal at the silk mill tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Off to Florida on Sunday. Staying with the inlaws but they have a nice big pool, only 10 minutes away from the beach and the use of a Merc SL600 (father in law's play car) while we're there. Could be worse I suppose.

Ewetube Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Got back from Kos last week and it's quite worrying what the effect of the reporting of the refugee crisis last year has had on the number of tourists this year. We were in Kos last year at the height of the reporting and I have to say what we were seeing and hearing on BBC World service and what we were seeing on the street bore little resemblance. We spoke to a number of restauranteurs, hoteliers, bar owners and shop keepers and they all were worried about making enough money this summer to sustain themselves through the winter. They said tourist numbers this August were on a par with what they'd usually get in May. One lady told us "the media has killed us" and asked why they hadn't been back to report the fact that Kos was pretty much now free of refugees. There's also a knock-on effect from this year's low tourist numbers in that airlines are reducing flights for next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal is a Ram Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Shame that a country already so crippled is now losing its tourism. Having spent a number of summer holidays there, I really feel for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
