    Oh the irony.

    We will be able to stroll through the non EU lane when we get to Germany with my shiny new British Passport.

    I'd much rather have an EU one.
    It’s a h*** of a price now, even Spain - not long back - 250 Euros for a nice evening meal out, albeit with starters, nice steaks, wine, beer, cider etc, all multiplied a few times for the “kids” - worked out at roughly £1K per day for everything, including exorbitant Shetland to UK Mainland flights and travelling within the expensive School holiday period.

    Bloody hell!

    When I see the price of things I always remember having 3 little ones.
    I'm afraid it had to be the cheaper option most of the time.
    They had great Eurocamp holidays when they were kids though.
    God knows how much driving a month in France would cost in petrol nowadays though.

    They will undoubtedly have enjoyed that. Did Eurocamp, in Dordoigne, on a budget when we could afford only one meal out the whole week, pre-children - it was brilliant though!

    Everything is so much more expensive now - I recall the French toll charges and fuel costs were significant, even 30 plus years ago when we drove through France.

    Went to Paris around 15 years ago with our young children - 2 glasses of wine and two soft drinks - £40!

    30 plus years ago?

    Yeah that would be right

    My daughter had her first three birthdays in France so that would have been June 91, 92 and 93.

    Three kids in the back aged 1, 2 and 3
    Singing kettle tape on constantly for a month*
    Relaxing eh?
    Nah, they were great holidays.




    * I could never get time off work so ended up taking my holidays all at once.
    Eurocamp used to do Buy two weeks get two weeks free in June.

    I've got a ferry booking to Spain that was originally cancelled when omicron was on the go and it's been pushed back about 8 times since. Finally using it for taking the van over at Christmas time for a month. Probably just potter along the coast most of that time.

    Apart from that I reckon I am booking a long weekend in Tallinn over their maritime festival weekend in July. I'll just be flying over for that though.

    I'll have to get to the baltic states one of these days.

    To think of all that talent being unavailable in 1978.......

    Mind you, as far as I'm concerned, all that talent is unavailable in 2023.

    So in fact, it's me that's unavailable to all that talent.




    I don't support they're much bothered.

    Depending on which lake you maybe will have the chance to go to Verona.

    Take that chance.
    We're going Venice to Lake Garda, then on to Florence. We have been debating whether to jump off for a few hours in Verona in one direction. Worth the stop then? Think we will factor in a poke about and some lunch on the way to Garda
