Exclamation Places where NOT to go......

Looking at summer hols and I've decided that anywhere with:

"Costa", "Sol", "Playa", "Bosa", "Brava" "Den", "Las", "Appartments", "Playa", "timeshare".

.....relating to the place or accommodation is an immediate "nope".



Just wanted to share that.

Drink loads of watered down punch, luke-warm meat and lye by a pool so some random waiter on 80p an hour can serve you orange juice made from tap-water ice cubes.

Ooohh.....all inclusive rules.

Bar-bay-doss innit.

I hate going anywhere where you get pestered by the locals. However I just wanted to share this with you.....

Simferopol Airport Ukraine September 2004...

Taxi Driver: You want taxi to Yalta?
Me: No we are going on the trolleybus
TD: WHAT! Do you know how long it takes?
Me: Three and a half hours is what it says in my book.
TD: Why don't you come in my taxi it won't take more than an hour and a half?
Me: Because this is the longest trolley bus ride in world and I want to go on it.
TD: YOU CRAZY. My taxi has airconditioning and I could take you there for only $40
Me: Now you are the crazy on it says in my book that even the tourist rate should be less than 25$
TD: Ohhh I couldnt do it for less than $30
Me: I'm not asking for you to do it for less than $30, I'm going on the trolley bus and it costs $2. Now bugger off!

Nothing wrong with all inclusive if you go to a decent hotel, like the moon palace in cancun I went to a few years back. Not much in the way of riff-raff and the hotels maids/waitresse wear the shortest of skirts
