Holidays - where´ve you been, where´re you going ?

Post Sat Jan 13, 2007 6:48 am

I spent my last holiday (apart from the couple of Pogues-days in December) in England in late August 2006 - Manchester, Liverpool, Isle of Man. 5 days in all - hardcore sightseeing ... :D

In mid-february I will spend four days in north Italy - Venice and Verona.

Anyone else made any holiday plans yet ?

My partners got early October off, he will probably want to go to Thailand again.

I've already told him, fat chance if The Pogues are playing.

Not yet :( I will when I go on holiday to Prague though whenever tax-returns come in. I'm looking forward to coming, especially the doughnut part.

Prague is a fantastic place. We have been there twice, both in early December on the weekend when the Christmas Tree has gone up in the square and the markets start. It is a really beautiful city.

There are lots of little bars off the main street where you will find good, cheap beer(compared to home). Enjoy the trip.
