SummerHolidayWIMB: Need hot in July/Aug that isn't c 750+ for flights.

[Jake]

Anywhere in SE Asia that's dry season and reasonably priced flights? Was thinking maybe Indonesia? Wanted to do Caribbean but flights are v expensive this late in the day.

That aside European recommendations welcome - looking for somewhere hot but not a beach holiday. Need a pool/beach + nearby town at least.

Not too many things to consider as you can see.

My thanks in advance AWIMB.

[PSRB]

Cheap flights = anywhere that Ryanair, Easyjet, etc fly to

2 weeks in Portugal in July :-)

[Luis Anaconda]

Due for a hot summer in the UK surely

[Classic Jorge]

But spain all generally f**k off to the coast so there's plemnty of hot, non beachy, action to be had over there.

We managed to get a ridiculous price for a suite in a hotel right on the plaza mayor in Madrid.

[Classic Jorge]

[PSRB]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Get on the train.

[Jake]

I'm in the mood for somewhere where I'll complain about the unbearable heat.

[PSRB]

in July

[Jake]

Was it hot then? 22-24 isn't that hot is it?

I'm not very good with numbers.

[Billy Goat Sverige]

Slim chance you might die of course.

[Jake]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

f**k that.

[Classic Jorge]

I love that ****, I'm like a lizard. I spend 11 months a year in the dank, dingy, damp Pennine north so I recharge my batteries like Ray Winstone in Sexy Beast.

[Jake]

I'm the exact sort of person who would get abducted and put on Al Jazeera.

[Jake]

I was just tempted by the UAE as I found a hideously reasonable deal on some sort of palace/castle hotel but was instantly vetoeD.

Ultimately, I want to sit at a pool, chug pina coladas, and be lathered down in aloe vera come nightfall.

[PSRB]

the strip, if you want to go on a mad one or just lots of restaurants/bars in main bit

Hire a car and go to the marina at Villamoura

All rather cheap with the current Euro

other day on BA.com.

[IUFG]

you will get some heavy downpours at night though...

[Red N White Army]

If you're not fussed where, get a late deal.

[Jake]

[Luis Anaconda]

[71 Guns - channeling the spirit of Mr Hat]

with your German friends, just like the rest of the planet...

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

[Luis Anaconda]

Everybody is just looking for a bit of Lebensraum tbf

[Jake]

It's one of them, done.

[Classic Jorge]

Definitely resting on their laurels from the highpoint several thousand years ago.

And, beyond grilling some lamb chops, they also cant cook.

Really depends what you’re after.

So much riding to be done on Greek islands.

Ios is what I imagine a brothel to be like, except free, and warmer.

[Classic Jorge]

As I eat several times a day, sometimes even four, I do consider food to be an important part of proceedings. I mean, I'm no Monty or Sir C style gastroponce but I want some food along the way.

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume J is to well bred for the ITV2 style debauchery of the greek islands, even in an ironic sense. One, afterall, can only be ironic for so long.

[Snin]

feisty tbh..I mainly stayed in the grounds of the hotel after that..lots of teeth sucking , spitting n general attitude..and that was just me

[Snin]

Sri lanka is luverly tho

[Snin]

n ****e..then nice big beach..cheap camping n appartnents to be had ..go Lagos young man

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Nothing wrong with that. If you are on holiday now you have a 7-8 year old daughter with you, the entire scope of holiday planning is different. I am in the same boat.

Jake is a youth. He will of course want to eat but equally so he will want to party like it is still 1999.

2 meals a day and a kebab on the way home if he has any money left.

[Snin]

http://www.lagos.me.uk/bars.html also you can fly cheap to lisbon is summer then get train down or rent car ..sometiems cheaper than Faro airport..or get cheap package and accom or fly out of bristol or brum if its looking pricey

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

[Classic Jorge]

[Jake]

Porto looks decent and there'll be airbnbs, sorted.

[Snin]

[Berni]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

I was buried up to my balls in chicks from various European countries (though mainly England I should say) while you were in your hotel room planning your 4 f**king meals a day.

[Snin]

:-)

Loads of us.

I'll be there in two weeks. Sunshine, beer and seafood.

Bang on.

[Snin]

great bunch of lads..liked the crack..and the craik

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

I kind of fell out of an Irish bar in Alvor last year.

It was the Mrs fault, I tend to avoid such places when I can. Bizarrely enough we ended up drinking with a load of your lot.

[Berni]

To be avoided imo.

[Snin]

:-)

[Classic Jorge]

It would hardly play well back home in deeply conservative ireland, that you were availing yourself of each and every pleasure afforded to you by the greeks and their penchant for the lubricating qualities of olive oil.

I'm not debating you had the odd oyster, were it to be offered you, I am however saying you filled your boots with snails.

[Snin]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

I stay about 5 mins down the road in Praia du Vao.

Alvor one direction, Rocha the other so invariably in Alvor most evenings.

Can't fault the Algarve.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

So one week it was trying to cop a feel of chubby nurses working in the Whittington to the next week sniffing out any English bird with a faintly northern accent as you just knew she would let you do anything and didn't even care if you knew her name.

[Berni]

by the sort of people it attracts these days. Coppers and taxi drivers half of them. Awful.

[Classic Jorge]

My guess was rigorous bumming

[Snin]

over looking the beach..not sure if still open..very relaxed ibiza tunes at sunset n good drinks

Restaurant Ao Mar and Bar Cloque

[Red N White Army]

[Snin]

as if you could get the irish out the bar long enough to play to 18 holes plus in that sun ? they would be **** as lobsters imo..cant see it happening

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Serious shape throwing.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

The game itself I imagine I could probably turn professional at after a few weeks.
