It has been three weeks since my last holiday and so I will soon need another. I finish this present job in 2 weeks. If I go quick in early July I can still get pre-school hols prices :thumbsup:
I am torn between 4-5 day city breaks and a week in a seaside place rubschin:
Vote on my shortlist and I will obey angel1

Keep voting :thumbsup:

Bruges/Brugge is good for a couple of days but wouldn't want a whole week there. Amsterdam is good for similar time but is also noted for drugs, high risk sex for cash, having your car broken into so locals can pay for drugs. Prolly has an interesting Dutch artist.
How about Brazil? Not much going on there right now so hotel prices cheap, little civil unrest and you can explain to the locals in slow clearly annuciated English about this game we have in Europe called "football" whistle:
-
Are we voting for which one Nick would prefer or which one would likely give us the most amusing stories?
If It's stories then I'd say either Amsterdam (Nick, cannabis cafes and a red light district. What's the worst that could happen?) or Berlin (Nick, a beer festival and a fraulein in leiderhosen who turns out to be called Heinrich). rubschin:

Well, I picked up a very cheap deal indeed :thumbsup: :thumbsup: 7 nights in a new four star hotel in Marrakech :thumbsup: It has a pool and wifi :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Including flights only £240 snotters Shocked: Shocked:
Unfortunately, like, I discover thay my trip is during Ramadan Banghead Banghead Banghead cussing: cussing: cussing:
Non-Muslims should show respect to those who are fasting and pay attention so as not to offend Islamic values. If you demonstrate culturally insensitive behaviour that offends, you could be arrested. Non-Muslims should observe the rules of Ramadan in public and should note the following:
Avoid eating, drinking, chewing gum or smoking in public during the daytime (including in your car) - many people will understand that you aren’t under the same obligation to fast but will appreciate your awareness. Pregnant, nursing women and young children are exempt from the provisions, but discretion should be exercised
In some Muslim countries it’s actually illegal to eat and drink in daylight during Ramadan
Some restaurants will close or operate amended opening hours during Ramadan
Restaurants that cater to tourists may open as usual but hotels will sometimes use screens to keep western diners sectioned off from Islamic guests
Take extra care about your clothing during the holy month. Ensure you dress modestly as standards may be policed even more carefully than usual
Driving may be more erratic than usual, particularly during the later afternoon and early evening, be patient and show tolerance especially during this time
Business hours may become shorter in the day

Morocco is dry during Ramadan, alcohol is not available even after Ramadan breaks at night.
Credit where credits due, the Moroccan’s are a resilient bunch, as if fasting during daylight hours for a month isn’t dedication enough, abstinence from alcohol and sex is expected for the entire month also.
There’s no relief from this one though folks, no alcohol free periods between certain hours like fasting.
We didn’t so much as see a single bottle of beer, or glass of wine during our entire trip to Morocco.

Good for your liver! Thumbs:

It should be noted that the first call to prayer occurs in the early hours of the morning (not only during Ramadan). Since this is often a loud siren it may awaken light sleepers or those in riads near to a mosque. If you are a light sleeper or are staying in a Riad, you may find earplugs useful!

I once had to get involved in an employee dispute when the guy claimed unfair dismissal because he went on holiday to Marrakesh and someone said "going to get some good drugs then"
It went on for over a year Banghead [/wander]
So Nick, you going to get some good drugs then?

In Nick's case the drugs don't work. There isn't a hallucinogenic on the planet strong enough to create something stranger than a day in the life of the Ginger Shambles. whistle:
