Came very close to booking a holiday to Ibiza while pissed on vodka lemonades in the early hours of this morning.

Why not, the only thing that makes me nervous is the test needed to re-enter the country from Spain. Other bits are straightforward and I think Spain has relaxed its 'mask rules' from today. In Menorca 'Fit to Fly' lateral flow tests done for 30E and a £45 PCR Day2 test is all you need - oh and some sunnies, a Derby shirt and nice pair of boardies! ?

If you're interested here's a link to places in Ibiza doing the anti-gen tests (30E) and online booking:

https://15minutetest.com/es/en/locations

Other info (all from Tripadvisor)

https://www.ibiza-spotlight.com/magazine/2021/05/covid-19-diagnostic-testing-pcr-ibiza-and-formentera

I saw these from the UK .gov link

https://www.find-travel-test-provider.service.gov.uk/test-type/green

https://screen4.org/product/green-country-day-2-self-test/ (£55)

https://www.expert-medicals.co.uk/products/green-list-day-2-testing-package (£45)

Plus your GHIC (needs about 10 days to be delivered) if your EHIC is out of date:

https://www.ghic.org.uk/Internet/startApplication.do

Check your passport has at least 6 months date (more if it was extended for longer than 10 years).

 

Edit: for Spain you need to complete their pre-travel form:

https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/spain/entry-requirements#mandatory-pre-travel-declaration-form-for-all-passengers

Our rules, need to complete a passenger locator form on return:

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/red-amber-and-green-list-rules-for-entering-england#green-list

 

I wanted to go to Menorca but the OH is a bit nervous about the 'fit to fly' test and it would be on their mind all holiday.

It was very much a spur of the moment, impractical near miss but thank you for taking the time to try and help?

Yeah, that's okay I'd found all the info anyway and thought it might help someone book a holiday. ?

Maybe you next time you've had a dark fruit or two! ? ?

I've just had my 2021 holiday. Beautiful scenery, crap weather.

Same weather, same place last September, although to be fair, that was one of the cooler/greyer days, and all told, we had cracking weather for the fortnight...

We covered the SWCP in dribs and drabs, from Lyme Regis to West Bexington (Plus the bottom half circuit of Portland).
Despite being lumbered with walking boots in the UK (Instead of cycles in the South of France), we absolutely loved it!

So much so, we're heading that way again this coming September, but will concentrate more on the same path to the West of Lyme Regis this time.

We only did short stretches up and down from the nearest resort, and we did have one sunny beach day. Overall disappointing weather for June, but it didn't stop us doing anything, really.

Enjoy your walking this year. 

Here's our sunny day, sorry but your photo isn't working for me, not sure why.

We drunk booked a holiday to Edinburgh for Hogmanay a couple of years ago. Biggest problem, we booked the flights to Heathrow. Expensive night on the turps that one.

Was thinking of a trip down to Cornwall in August - till I saw the prices.  At the minute they must be at least 3 x higher than normal. 

A 2 bed caravan for 7 nights in Newquay can be yours for just £3229.  5 nights in a B&B £945.

2 berth, or 2 bedrooms?

Assuming the latter, and assuming doubles, that's a mere £807.25 per person!

 

See!  Who's whinging now, eh?
