 Posted: 20:50 - 15 Nov 2010 Post subject: Where to go what to do? Work leave |
 |
|
My current work place is pretty generous in terms of work leave. I've been there only a short time and have acrued 7.5 days add in a couple of weekends and I've got nigh on 11 days.
Any suggestions as to what I can do or where I can go?
Seems a bit cold for bike touring and not enough time to go play in Asia as a flight would suck up a day at each end.
I mean I can kill zombies on a computer screen any day.

That should give you long enough to go to the most western point on the British mainland and check it out for me .
Take your camera and take buckets of pictures of the route.
include in your pictures road names and numbers
Then send them to me via a pm .
None of this will help you, but it will make my life a lot easier, if I get the chance to do the Four-Points

Africa... No (real) time difference, can rent a bike a blat around, everyone is bribable, and it's just coming in to summer now so will be hot but comfortable.
Seriously, bloody lovely place.
Highly recommend Mozambique, Zimbabwe is also well recommended.

Tenerife is gash. Also in the euro so bend over and take the raping. It was bad enough there 3 years back. 4 years back I was in Gran Canaria, certainly avoid there.
Africa... it makes sense. ____________________ China traffic/travel bike vid - When I make a sweeping statement, please add the word 'statistically' in to the sentence before you bitch...

Not heard a bad word about zim yet. As for flying the extra distance, I think London - SA is 10 hours... tis 4 hours to Canaries... that extra 6 hours after you factor in time to airport/check in etc isn't /that/ bad... and you'll actually have fun.
Africa is quite novel. Now I'm in asia, its amazing how many whites make it this way, or to america... but to go far south... nope. Really don't see that many of us there. So more novelty points, and certainly more anecdotes.
And Itchy seems to be like me, and thrives off anecdotes. The canary islands are hellish retirement pits. Trust me on that, I wrote my dissertation on them. ____________________ China traffic/travel bike vid - When I make a sweeping statement, please add the word 'statistically' in to the sentence before you bitch...
