Hi Guys ,thanks for your comments ,got back safe and well and tanned . Had an excellent time, lovely warm weather and exercised the vocal chords most nights . The only downer was that there appeared to be less tourists this year compared to last year, [maybe they heard me last year and heard I was coming back over ] LOL.
Regards Bigmike

Big mike yupp less tourists than last year been to magaluf/palma nova last 3yrs getting very quiet when we went a few times about 8 to 10 yrs ago the place was heaving . one of the fag shops was even touting for trade when we went by during the day no one in at all. We flew home on Sunday weather was very warm but humid.

Hi Guys,
Glad to hear you've enjoyed your hols Mike. On the subject of Turkey, I wonder if any of you have considered North Cyprus (where we also use the Turkish Lira so are not subjected to the awful Euro exchange rate). Most of the travel agents don't push it so it's relatively unspoilt. Like most places it's no longer the ultra cheap place it used to be but I can still get a pint of lager for 3TL (approx. 1.5 euros) and eating out is still relatively inexpensive. There are some lovely hotels and/or self catering accommodation. Turkish Cypriot hospitality is overwhelming. On a personal note I would be delighted to meet up with any forum members who may decide to give it a try. If anyone wants more info please ask either via PM or on here so that everyone can get a feel for the place.
Take care,
Roger

Hi Mike,Glad you enjoyed your holiday.
Yes,it seems the Spanish type holiday is on it's way out.Some of the pub owners i knew from my time in Magaluf have sold up and moved on.A great pity,as i used to love Majorca. The trouble is that people of our age only go on holiday May and September,so the pubs that we frequent,(with some kind of entertainment) are empty June thro to August,cos anyone below the age of 50 don,t go to these pubs.The wife and I were in tenerife last year and that was quiet as well,and i hear even quieter this year.We're almost booked for Turkey in September as like yourself,we've heard some good reports.
Egypt is good,hot and not too expensive,BUT--no entertainment at all.We even thought about having a week in Blackpool in the summer.I'll keep you posted.
