Good shot? Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 (edited) But you will still enjoy Benidorm I am sure, something for everyone there. Hope the digs are ok...

rimfire4969 Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 Wow that’s is a dodgy start to the holiday. I am sure you will have a great time. I passed through Benidorm once and that was more than enough for me. I like it a bit quieter and not so British. Have a fantastic time, slap that sun cream on.

Smokersmith Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 I make it a point to never holiday to any location where you can get an English Breakfast. The only way is up Jacko!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsh man Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 Not the sort of start you want when you are about to start your hols , we are not that keen on planes , or all the hassle at the air ports and that is the main reason we now stay in the U K , and to be honest , that is the way I like it .

I`m with you on this MM. Our days of travelling abroad are over and we find that there are plenty of lovely places yet to visit in the UK. As well of course of those we visit quite frequently in different counties. However, later in the year, I`m taking the wife on a cruise to a tropical island. Yes, you`ve guessed it, the ferry over to the Isle of Wight. My God, I spoil that woman. Might even bump into Old Farrier.

OB When I was stationed in Portsmouth we went to Yarmouth on the I O W , even though ours is supposed to be Great , I am not sure if the one on the I O W is better , this was over 40 years ago so things might have changed . Do they still have a Hover craft crossing from the mainland ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benidorm a place for people who don't want to abroad to another country. Full English breakfast and English ale houses it's just like Blackpool. Hope the rest of your holiday goes without incident.
