National Holiday


I used to have an Austrian girlfriend, kinky as fuck, I grew to really enjoy my visits.

That's understandable 😂

We drive through Austria and Slovenia when we go to Croatia and the drive is part of the hol the scenery when you drive through the mountains is unbelievable proper sound of music shit
 
Getting an inter-rail pass? Enjoy, that's adventurous 👍 I wouldn't mind doing a greyhound bus tour of the states, had a friend who did it and he met lots of interesting characters.

Yes looking at that 👍
Every country I’ve travelled on a train their service has been better than the UK’s. Comfortable, spacious, relaxed and most importantly running to schedule.

You haven't been on the circumvesuviana then. It's the line from Sorrento to Naples. That was an experience!
Honestly do it.
There is something wonderful about sitting in a small train station in Austria on a summer afternoon, clock ticking, mountains towering above, waiting for the train to pull in and take you to Italy or wherever you want.

We've done Durham to Paris in a day by train which was canny 👍
I'm not a fan and it's basically on the door step - best Xmas markets going mind

I had that booked for my Mam's 70th birthday as it's a few days before Christmas. I had the horse and cart booked at sunset on her actual birthday, so she'd have been trotting round, drinking wine and looking at all the Christmas lights coming on. Then covid happened and it was cancelled. I was devastated!

I remember you saying - such a shame. If you want to do the Xmas markets with your mam I recommend Vienna mind, not been to any that beats it although I do love Bratislava's small, compact and the best atmosphere of all the ones we do
 
Pleased I bumped this. Loads of inspiration for a short trip whether it be with national holidays (I’ve been on one before only down to skipton market and the lakes, and was a canny little trip) or be further afield.

I’d recommend them mate as use of travel if it’s within a few hrs .We just have the breakfast on the morning as soon as we get to the destination we are out for some drinks and something really nice to eat .


Skip the evening meal in the hotel as they are shite and who wants to hang round a hotel all night ?
 
Jeffers, Ha'way man, your one of Life's good guys, a tousle haired free spirit, a child of the wind, there's no place in your heart for hate, let it go mate,let it go 🙂
I’m also a bandwagon jumping fool and you kinda have to hate Jimmy.

I don’t really hate anyone - although somethings do irritate me slightly.

That’s what we did, hotel was near Boltons ground so missed the meal and went to the pics in that retail park next to it.

The back drop of all the amazing government buildings adds to them along with the huge ice rinks. Cracking place imo. Easy to navigate narl what with it being pretty much one big ring road.
 
Just buy locally

Budapest to Bratislava 27quid

Bratislava to Vienna is 40 quid return on the train or 13 on the bus and it takes the same time

Bratislava to Brno is 7 quid (bonus stop :) )

Brno to Prague is 9 quid

Prague to Berlin is 27 quid
Don't you just love foreign rail prices? 500 mile round trip for the same price as a return from Middlesbrough to Carlisle, rip off Britain.
