Croatiawimb - Going in 7 weeks, doing Split, Brac, Hvar and Dubrovnik. Would like to visit some wine

[Rich]

estates if possible. I hear that there are many dotted around the Dalmatian Coast. Have you any recommendations? I'm used to doing the wine touring thing in the Western Cape, South Africa. I should imagine it differs ever so slightly in Croatia.

Any help/advice is welcomed.

absolutely beautiful. Teeming with Russians, mind.

The good lady fell ill about 4 hours into the flight from LHR. Had to book return flights upon arrival and she was operated on 24 hours later. Hopefully we'll return in the next couple of years.

Travel insurance will cover lots though?

[Rich]

Your thoughts on Croatia?

FYI - I despise Russians.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Was it some sort of, erm, ladytrouble? :-(

[Rich]

say that they blew the NHS out of the water.

She'd been in hospital twice before but was not diagnosed correctly and the travel insurance will try and get out of it because it was related to a pre existing condition.

I could technically fill in the GP part of the insurance documents myself to hide that, but it would be against my principles, tbh. Might just have to take the hit on this one.

Right up your street sounds wise.

Lots of sun drenched boat parties and beautiful people, as far removed from a UK festival as is feasible.

[Monty91]

and Hvar.

Montenegro is much acer. Cheaper, less touristy and loads to do in-land.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Should have taken a cab to Wireless Road and asked the chap on the gates which clinic the embassy uses. She'd have been sliced and diced on the spot for about 40 quid.

Clinics serving the diplo district in third world countries are f**king fantastic.

What's done is done, anyway. I just felt as though I had to get her back to the UK where I had influence over her treatment.

[Monty91]

when I stumble upon anything "Arsenal" themed abroad.

I bet you sit on anything resembling a cannon and send the photo into the match-day programme, don't you.

It (the bar) and the walk around the walled ramparts (I think) are really the only two things that stuck out in my memory of the place.

:shrug:

[Peter]

I know what you irish are like on holiday.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Quite the place for partying all the same I believe.

It is what people do now, avoid the UK equivalents and pile off abroad for sunshine and all that a festival can offer.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

So naturally I would have bought every round.

I was there for quite a period on my own in fact as she went round the town / shops.

[Rich]

through their own cheeks is enjoyable for a relatively short period of time.

[Peter]

Well done the williamseseses

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

My last one was Homelands in Winchester, 2001 I think.

f**k me it was messy and the train back to London on sunday morning defied belief.

[redgunamo]

the whole bunch of them locked up in looney bins within about twenty minutes of the kick-off, wouldn't you. And then where would we all be.

Never accuse a lady of having a borderline personality disorder though, no matter how true it might be.

[Jake]

Not a massive fan of heat + dancing + drinking + drugs though.

Much prefer UK temperatures for that mix.
