I live in Greece (RHODES) and not many people like Athens . The islands are so different in many many ways. Hope you enjoy.

Going to Crete next summer, sure it will be great.

It will be. Been a few times.

That bit between returning from holiday and booking the next trip is like the post-season, then once you’ve booked the trip, it’s the pre-season so you have to step up your fitness regime.

Sorry for the above. Just felt like I had to get it out there lol

Very true. Mrs TT said she'd get me a fold-up exercise bike for Christmas. The trouble is I'll have to lose weight before I can use it!

There's this nice honey I wouldn't mind visiting in Ho Chi Minh, but last time I saw her she put me off when we were out for some street food - she was spitting the fat off of the pork that she was eating onto the floor! That said, although I am always happy to go there, I am a little bit sick of HCMC after having visited about five times now. Vietnam in general is cool though and there are plenty of parts I haven't visited yet.

I take it you’ve been to Hoi An?

Several times. Too touristy. Go to the road an hour to Da Nang, much better.

I don't travel anymore, particularly not flying, just be careful, because since Covid, everyone I know who has flown abroad has come back & tested positive for Covid

I flying to England for a week over Christmas can't wait

I have only been to Hoi An once but loved it. I’m reluctant to go again though.

Good to visit once like. Same as HCMC, once enough, Hanoi too. I love Vietnam but don't think I could live somewhere where the food is so bad. Women are nice though, but even that wouldn't be enough.

I didn’t personally find Hoi An any more touristy than the rest of Vietnam; was probably my favourite city to visit.

Whereabouts mate?

Went 4 years ago, it was splendid. If you are anywhere on the North of the island its worth hiring a car for a couple if days and taking the trip to the south of the island. The beaches are far quieter and are absolutely stunning. If that's your thing.
