In that case, definitely make use of the “water bus” and take her to Murano (nice and quiet) and have a couple of cold drinks
That will not be expensive and you’ll have a nice break from the thousands of cruise ship tourists.

Currently single again and none of my close friends like travelling. So I might just **** off to Europe for a couple of short breaks by me sen and see what happens.

Just under 3 weeks to my (twice postponed) holiday in mallorca. I can't wait.
Also, going on a chaps' excursion to Madrid in September, with a couple of days in Avila. Sadly, I seem to be the responsible adult for thus one.

Who are people going with for travel insurance these days? ive always gone with Post Office but my friend is having a nightmare with a claim at the moment.
Edit:
Off to Warsaw in a few weeks time my first time in Poland any my 24th country visited.

I was looking to renew my travel insurance for a trip to Asia where I currently am for 4 weeks for ages and could not decide who.. even the best rated ones have loads of negative reviews for claims, like every other provider it seems.
In the end just upgraded a NatWest account to one with worldwide travel insurance for £20/m. When I'm back in a few weeks will just downgrade it back to the £10/m one for the phone insurance and European travel cover. Don't know why I never thought of this before. So much cheaper than paying £100+ just for a single trip cover, or even annual.

Going to mainland Spain on a touring holiday in Sept. Flight is 6:40am from Manchester, 100 miles away. Do I book a hotel in the airport or get my dad to drive me at 2am? Unsure of the security situation at flights at that time.

Leisure Guard is one of the top picks for me on MSE.
Recently been to Lanzarote. LBA at 4am was jam packed with massive queues. Even fast track took ages.
Covid-wise things are relaxed. Taxis and pharmacies require face masks. Only one other shop required a mask here.
We tried the "Super Pedestrian" scooters round here which are about 20% more expensive than a taxi and don't feel safe on some of the lower-quality roads here.
Will be keeping an eye on this thread if any good deals or tips are to be expected.
I can't find anywhere I can filter by airport AND airline before choosing destination. Would love to fly with anyone but Ryanair from Newcastle - is that too much to ask?

Think I'll be booking a static caravan on a park somewhere in Devon/Cornwall this year; seems the most stress free /cheapest option. Can anyone recommend anywhere specific? Kids aged 0 & 2. Need swimming pool and beach with stones on.

As long as you go on all the rides you'll blow COVID right off you
At that age I'd be doing Cotswold Water Park/Hoburne. The indoor pool is great. There is soft play, a shop on site, crazy golf, fishing, pedalos - and you won't kill each other on the 7 hour drive lol.
