    Goa

    Been to Palolem in South Goa for the last 4 januaries and loved it but it looks like next January is a non starter due to the current situation which is a bugger. Still, memories and all that
  2. The end credits in Love Actually, the montage of the public not the actors. Gets me all the time and more prevalent these days.
  3. Watched it the other night having seen it a few years ago and noticed that Mick Fleetwood was in it which I hadn’t previously noticed. Still good fun.
  4. Repeating Goa in January for the 4th year in a row, Palolem beach hut , for 2 weeks just love it. Still flying Glasgow to Dubai, Dubai to Mumbai then local flight to Goa. 24 hours to get there but so worth it to relax
  5. Just back from 4 days in Faro, thoroughly enjoyed it. Friendly locals, loved the old town, nice bars and good food. All at good prices. Great weather too which was a bonus.
  6. Absolutely loved it, gentle, humorous, with excellent performances from the two main actors. I’m a L&H fan anyway but this pleased me no end.
  7. Doing the India thing again this week, Palolem in South Goa for the third January in a row. So relaxing (although three flights to get there but two are Emirates so that’s good to be fair).
  8. Yup agree with this pretty much, although I did enjoy it actually. Good action but yes the patter was quite obvious all the way through. However, a decent watch.
  9. Just back from 4 days there, stayed about 200 yards from St Marks Square in a lovely 15th century hotel, small and smart on the very edge of Costello. Not as busy as I expected but not quiet obviously. Also not as expensive as I thought it might be. Very friendly people, loved the place, beautiful. Great food and drink and walked just about everywhere you can walk, getting a bit lost and finding our way back again, great fun. Temperature was mid 80s. Definitely will return.
  10. Just experienced the airport for the first time on a return journey to Venice last week. No problems whatsoever with security, travel, staff etc. Clean, efficient, no issues. Got a bus from Buchanan Bus Station, Glasgow there and back, traffic a bit busy but altogether no problems. Would travel from Edinburgh again.
  11. Planning on going to Venice for 4 days mid June 2018 with my wife, prob b&b or room only,any updated advice where specifically to go, enjoy food & drink and plan on having a good time seeing the sights but chilling out if possible. Any recommendations on areas to stay not necessarily in the main area?
  12. Just finished series 3, saying nothing except crickey and jings!
  13. In Palolem right now with temperatures of 32 degrees and lucky to be away from what I gather is really bad weather in some parts of home, Glasgow. Not boasting just saying. That said, gosh it’s hot here [emoji57]
  14. Off to South Goa again in January, Palolem Beach for a major chill there as my wife and I did last January. Can’t wait. Glasgow to Dubai then Mumbai via Emirates then local flight to Goa. Great weather, food, chilled atmosphere, not expensive at all. Great way to get over the January blues.

    Berlin

    Just back from 4 days in Berlin in the Kreuzberg area. Flights from Glasgow there and back no issues, Schönefeld airport was fine although tiny bar on the way back. Transport in Berlin was excellent, plenty bars, mostly better at night. Enjoyable river cruises, not so much the bus tour. Very good museums around and obviously the usual tourist spots. People were very friendly and Kreuzberg was enjoy able, def bohemian. Weather was okay too.
