Been to Madeira twice, absolutely superb!!!! Go on the West tour and the East tour, exceptional scenery. Funchal and the old town are a must. Christiano Ronaldo has a museum here, love or hate him it's very interesting. You will have a great time, i'm certain of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My folks used to have a timeshare in Langdale, couple of decent pubs nearby, one almost next door, another a healthy walk away. Used to be owned by Scottish and Newcastle, no idea what happened to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One stand out thing was the restaurants in Funchal, great variety and excellent quality particularly Real Canoa (sp?). It was the time of the Icelandic volcano eruption and our holiday was extended by two days because of flight problems; had to happen in a place we were not too keen on.

Staying in Funchal so should have plenty bars/restaurants for the evening. Hotel has a couple pools, tennis court, gym etc so that should stop me from getting too bored during the day while my girlfriends lying in the sun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMDP Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Just booked all of our trains around Italy - Rome - florence - Pisa - Manerola - Venice for £170 in total. We are going on very similar trips. In August, I'm going to Rome, Florence, Pisa, Lake Garda and Venice. I used to live in Italy for a few months but my girlfriend has never been before and really wants to go.So far this year, been to Hamburg, Krakow and Paris. A weekend in Valencia later this year as running the marathon. Probably squeeze in an Amsterdam weekend.Got China booked for next year but want to plan in a lot more.

Thats good, i would have liked to see Lake Garda as well but when we saw Manerolla we preferred the look of it there. Cant wait for it now, only got a couple of weeks to wait.

paul-r-cfc Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Think the hottest I've ever been in was 40 degrees in Chiang Mai. Was a bit lower in Bangkok but the nature of that city made it feel hotter. Horrendous conditions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Experienced 40 degree heat in Perth (no, not that one). Could hardly walk down the street it was so overwhelming hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tight minge Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 A few broken thermometers appearing in the thread. Gets silly when the highest temperature you have experienced is way above the highest on record for the country / region. Anyway, for me 59c, Lanarkshire.

MONKMAN Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Instead of Abu Dhabi and Dubai in October, I'll be sacking Dubai and doing a few days in Abu Dhabi then going to Jordan. 3/4 nights on the Dead Sea shores, heading down to Petra and Wadi Rum at some point.
