If you want something further, South Africa, Hawaii and Thailand are great to visit in December, or Australia / NZ depending on time and budget.

1of4 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Off to Prague for a few days in May. Due to brexit I was concerned that I might have to obtain a visa or even if there would be any planes that were allowed to fly. But thanks to our wonderful government asking the EU for a delay of brexit till June, it looks as if I should have no worries about my trip being cancelled.

eddie Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 20 minute delay, now being treated for a heart attack having been charged £12 for 2 pints of Peroni. Eurostar departure lounge now - passport control eventually let me through without too much hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Having a trip to sunny Blackpool, 6-9 June. We are staying at the Albert Hotel, which has an excellent micro-bar with around 25 different Belgian beers. This is only a taster, though, because I have just booked our 'main event' which is in Ostend, Belgium, for the North Sea Beer Festival, 23-25 August. For this, we are staying a week at Hotel 't Botteltje, Ostend (about 5 minutes walk from the festival headquarters). The hotel is an absolute must for aficionados of Belgian beer, with a menu of something like 400 different beers. Each hotel bedroom is themed on a different brewery - we are staying in De Halve Maan (the half moon) room, which owes its name to the brewery in Brugge which produces Brugse Zot (one of the Memsahib's favourites) and the magnificent Straffe Hendrik Quadrupel, which is most definitely one of mine.

NC--RAM Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 We have done the De Halve Maan brewery tour and also really enjoy their beers.We were last there around this time last year and felt it was getting really expensive.Oh and talking of expensive,just returned from New Orleans and there it's pretty pricey too.

Exchange rates are not great, but we thought 'to hell with that'. I'm semi-retired, and in order to pay for a decent holiday abroad, I do a bit of consultancy. We didn't bother with the brewery tours last month when we were in Belgium (once you have seen one, basically you have seen them all), but we did go to De Halve Maan on a couple of occasions just for a glass of Straffe Hendrik Wild. Similarly we went to Bourgogne Des Flandres for the beer flight, and of course a couple of glasses of Tripel in Staminee De Garre. I am a creature of habit. I have one regret, and that is the fact that I have never visited the USA and probably never will. My blood has a tendency to take on the consistency of black pudding, and a 6 or 7 hour flight would probably be instant deep-vein thrombosis for me, and having survived 4 episodes, I don't wish to try for a 5th.
