Gambia

Anyone ever been?

Looking at staying along the coast in August. Other than a recommendation briefly by someone, and then looking at hotel prices... I'm tempted. Will admit I've done little (read no) research

The baboon spider lives in Africa........that means no likey!! X

 

[133_Ads]

Because of one spider, the whole of Africa is out of bounds?

Want/Need to go in the future, been to North Africa but only because a mates dad has a small plane and we went one day, got arrested as we wern't allowed to land there

The only place I would be wanting to go in ANY of the African Continent at the moment in Cape Town....

Always wanted to go on a cruise to Somalia though :lol:

Well further investigation suggests it'll be wet. And very humid. Hmmm

Next idea! DOn't want to do anything too expensive at all, but don't wanna do a benidorm, deffo a more cultural kinda holiday person, even though we want to do a more beach orientated holiday just somewhere a bit different

 

[LCplParks]

There's great culture to be had in magaluf! (If by culture you mean bacteria)

 

[maggi200]

:lol: yeah that's the kinda holiday were gonna avoid I like adventures and seeing stuff. Carrie enjoyed Prague last time but I wanna do something else

 

[Caz-133cup]

Prague was my first ever holiday and it was lovely but this time I'd like to have a nice hot beach holiday but somewhere we can still walk about places and see stuff
Portugal?
Rhodes?
Canary islands?

You could go somewhere like Barcelona. Plenty of cultural and cool things to go and see if you fancy it at any point, but also a pretty nice beach to relax on

Maggi, how about the south of France?

went there a long time ago to a place called Chinon in a cottage with a river running a stone throw away and its own vinyard thingy.

Not sure on prices as i say i was about 12 at the time but i fondly remember that place and it was a really nice break

We went to rhodes last year and loved it there, theres the beach to chill out then the old town to explore

 

[maggi200]

Looked at Rhodes actually. Where did you go and was it £££?

 

[Caz-133cup]

South of France is somewhere I would love to go sometime
I really like the idea of Rhodes, nice and hot although James will probably look like a lobster when we come back haha

 

[Mike_Robo]

we went to ialyssos ixia rhodes, i think is the full area its about 10-15 mins bus ride away from Old Rhodes Town and only cost 6 euro return on the local bus. think it cost 540per person all inclusive with flights for a week ialyssos is the quiet side though, hardly any brits so no nightclubs or anything. if you want that stay in Faliraki I wanna go back though, would highly recommend it mate.

 

[maggi200]

Yeah quiet is good. Very good. We don't do clubbing :lol: but of course a cocktail bar or two so I can take advantage of the lady wouldn't go amiss

 

[Mike_Robo]

ah thats ok then sounds just like our holidays the bars along the marina in Old Rhodes were class

So Rhodes is hideously expensive for what it is, and when we want. In fact Greece seems to be more expensive full stop.

So were going Tunisia for a week. Will be hot enough that I burn badly and cheap enough I don't moan about how much it's cost
