Places I have been to:

Costa Brava, Spain: 1st holiday with the lads while at uni. The holiday was booked for less than £90 self catering, AOA, club 18-30. Had a good laugh here got into trouble with the police 4 times altogether, for tresspassing into a castle not for the public (all because the castle was high and we thought we'd break in get to the top cos it was greatly located for picture opportunities of the whole place), for throwing buckets of water from our balconies on unsuspecting passers by, for jumping the ticket machine at the train stations and also for causing noise pollution at 4am in the morning. Took a day trip to barca couldnt get much done in 1 day there so i promised myself i would go back, also took a trip to the nou camp here.

Barcelona, Spain: Took the missus here, cheap flight ticket from RyanAir to Gerona and then a £10 return bus ticket to barca. Stayed at a place called Sant Cugat, very remote place away from Barca but a 10minute tube journey to the centre of barca, the hotel in Sant cugat is fab all modern and stuff (http://www.hotelclub.net/hotel.reservations/Sant_Cugat_Hotel_Barcelona.htm). Barca is fantastic and its easy to get around with the tube stations. But be warned its hard to fit everything in in a week, defo go to Nou camp, segrado familia and mount joup. Mount Joup is great for photo opportunities....its at a very high point in barca and theres a ledge where u could see the whole of barca, its like your standing on the end of a cliff to oversea the whole city. The trip cost me about £200 each for flights and accomodation for a 4/5 day stay.

I'l continue the rest of my holidays later...when i get time to remember hotel names etc

Going to Spain this year, back to a lesser known area on the Costa Tropical (formerly Granada coast) which is far from commercialised and shows the "real" Spain. Stayed in Almunecar last time on the coast but am venturing into the mountains to Orgiva in June for a more laid back time at a little detached farmhouse with pool and total seclusion. If anyone ever read "Driving over Lemons" this is what inspired me to try the region and I can really recommend it for a proper Spanish holiday, if that is what floats yer boat?
This was a view of the Med from my villa last time...

so you didnt jump?

last two years I've been to Zermatt in Switzerland, fun times to be had there.



and thats me stood on the Breithorn

if you look very closely at the pic you will see sledge in the far right

I remember now, thats you dodgy in the orange headband.

I hope you don't begrudge me pushing you two off shortly after the photo was taken?

I'm hoping to go to China sometime in the next few years.

DR have u been anywhere on holiday at all...Pakistan maybe?

Yeah that's the only place i have been and that was back in 1997

China next on the list though.

why China?

I dunno i've always fancied going there and having a wander about. Might be something to do with all those Jackie Chan and Jet Li movies i have seen
