Aren't holidays supposed to relax you?

[GM]

Off to the Italian lakes in a few hours and I can Guarantee there will be no stress involved, just food and drink and late late nights.

Enjoy

Sounds lovely. Did you take lots of photos?

378 after discards, 300 ships, 70 street scenes, 6 misc. and 2 fire engines.

No trains?

No trains?

No, mostly tugs, but I like the one with the cyclists.
No helmets, no hi-viz, no worries.

I'm currently on holiday in Prague having spent a couple of days in Amsterdam. The coffee shops and absinthe backed up with Rum and Ting and a representative sample of Czech beers have made the whole experience so bearable that we're contemplating abandoning the cycling part and continuing with the hedonism. When we sober up we'll probably have a different perspective. Meanwhile the OP needs to remember for next time that absinthe makes the heart grow fonder.

So good I posted it twice.

So Globalti, pack some absinthe to make your troubles seem so far away.

Mine are way over the horizon.

Eeeek! Absinthe will ruin you! I'd rather be sitting in a cosy pub, preferably wth a decent folky band playing and a nice warm fire in the grate, working my way through a selection of good ales while yarning with mates.

I can't understand this obsession with going to hot countries for a holiday. That usually means travel, which is stressful and tiring and then heat, which means bad sleep unless you're in an expensive hotel with good AC. I go to filthy, hot countries in Africa for work, it's not a pleasure at all.

Went to Africa for a holiday this year - Kenya. The locals said it was the start of their winter* and although we found the temperature warm in T-shirts, many of them wore coats and certainly did not dress as is it was warm. Had a great holiday -no doubt Kenya has one of the best climates on the continent.

* equatorial seasonal temperature variations are small.

So you went to Paris to enjoy the suffering?

Look out for a certain well known member on here who might catch you on his camcorder!

You're right - thanks to the altitude of around 5-6000 feet, the inland highveld parts of Kenya have a superb climate, warm but not too hot, sunny and dry. Inland South Africa is the same and another place I've visited that has tolerable climate is Botswana - in fact I was cold there!
