France for cycling holidays, I just don't get it.

France

Cycling

Holidays

?

I couldn't cope with being anywhere chaotic and I wouldn't enjoy a resort / destination where people go to get drunk and party. Not my idea of anything even resembling a good time.

I've got vague plans to do some cycle touring at some point in the vague future, but it's all a bit vague at the moment.

Benidorm
Dublin
Dubai
Las Vegas
Disney World
Paris
Blackpool
Newquay

I would say Greece, but my experience is limited to lads holiday's to toilets like Kavos and Malia so it is not a fair generalisation.

 

[slowmotion]

Another vote for Newquay. It's awful.

OK, it's France, as I enjoy cycling holidays elsewhere, it must be France I don't particularly like .

Romania seems to be a not un-popular holiday destination, but not IMHO.
We went skiing there - Piona Brasov. I can't even begin to imagine why.
The snow was crap - hardly any of it and rocks poking through.
The lifts were dire - antiquated and unreliable.
The food was terrible, and the wine even worse.
We went swimming one day, in an Olympic size pool lit by about 20 florescent lights. One tube was working. Nursing our drinks in a dull bar afterwards, and counting the days when I'd get back to Stevenage (which was suddenly zooming up in my estimation), a familiar bassline started playing.
Dum-dum-dum-dubba-dum-dum.
Dum-dum-dum-dubba-dum-dum.
'Under Pressure' by Queen and David Bowie
And I thought 'It's not all bad. There's still hope. There's still Queen.'
Then the vocals started.
It was Vanilla feckin' Ice - 'Ice Ice Baby'

Just sharing a few rays of sunshine with everyone in bridie land.

Please, Sir, keep your rays; we have ample to spare!

Ah sorry, but I had directed the rays towards bridie land, which, you may be unaware is a small part of Scotland famous for its local delicacy the Forfar bridie. I thought one of our forumers, resident there, sounded a little down and was merely attempting to inject a little ray of sunshine into his life. If I consider him in need of further treatment, I will warn you first!

MrsPoves isn't keen on flying.....she hates sailing. ....and won't go through a tunnel that's longer than the Dartford Tunnel. She likes big bridges though!
Fortunately we both love the Yorkshire Dales!

 

[PaulB]

Benidorm
Magaluf
Ibiza
Ayia Napa

And many others of the same stamp. My collective name for them is 'Blackpool with sun'

All of them. And Bangkok.

Of course, we have to attend the wedding of my niece/God-daughter this summer and it will take place in......the Lake Distr....sorry, I mean Ibiza so we've got no choice!!!

Costa del Sol. Horrible place..........

West of Malaga - hell, but east of Malaga isn't too bad and further in land in the hills where my parents live is very nice.

 

[mchunt]

My idea of hell is sharing a cruise with a bunch of lah-de-dah, airs-and-graces, puffed up little nobodies who think they're somebodies.

No chance of escaping because I can't swim.

Go on a Carnival cruise from Florida then, full of big fat americans who can't get enough of the inclusive food, lots of loud music, cocktails and totally not snobby. Only problem was Florida. Miami not too bad, but Orlando is my idea of hell - 1 day is too long.

Holland America to Russia however was full of old people trying to act posh, but did mean I got to see a bit of Moscow and St Petersburg that i had always wanted.

My worse holiday would be stuck all inclusive anywhere in the same place for 2 weeks.

 

[marzjennings]

Another vote for Newquay. It's awful.

As an x-Cornishman I concur. To many bleedin emmets and wannabe surfers in the Summer.

 

[oldfatfool]

I have never been outside the US. I want to one day go to UK,, during the Summer of course.

Sorry what is this 'summer' of which you speak??

 

[oldfatfool]

I have nightmares about Filey, Bridlington , cleethorpes . although TBF they are a whole lot better than those on the west side

Brid as never been the same since they ripped up the floral clock and replaced it with a dodgems
