Blasphemy.

Bit of an anticlimax with the rain but the first time India win a test series in Australia is complete

Sad really that this still goes on in the world in places... always will be grateful for the freedoms we enjoy

Almost finished with Kimi's book; this is the next in line:

Yea, read that earlier... she was worried sending her back would basically pass her a death sentence... just caught the gist of it but never read the full article... sounds like it's going to end a little better for her now though

I might even bump into you next time mate as my plan on the first night is to go to 1ehulp coffeeshop, then walk through Jordaan, have a look at the Anne Frank house(but not go in) and that sort of area, then go for something to eat before heading to the Grey Area coffeeshop and Amnesia, also I will explore Singel and the light district area around there along the way, as I never ventured around that one last time. After that I will head towards Lost in Amsterdam as it looks decent in there and a chilled place. The next day I'm going to explore De Pijp, the area where the Rijksmuseum/Vondelpark/PC Hooftstraat are then head back towards the centre area and just see what happens from there, probably going to an Argie restaurant along the way and obviously more coffeeshops such as the Old Church, which is near Rembrandt square. That's the plan atleast, but things can soon change. I just want to explore the fuck out of the city this time basically.

Nice cheers. Parents have been to Singapore and I haven't, I've been to Dubai and they haven't, so I'm hoping we choose the former as a stopover Was it only Brisbane/Cairns you went to when you last went?

Brisbane and Cairns are class to be fair. Singapores a great stop over place. Desperate to go back over to Australia this year, was supposed to go each of previous 2 years but fell through due to family illness.

Beat me to it

Went to Marrakech in May 2016. Lovely place, great people and great weather. Stayed at some Aqua Fun Park because it was cheaper - it was outside the main city, about 20-30 min taxi journey away but it was all-inclusive. Huge complex with about 4 different pools, 3 massive separate apartment blocks and about 5 or 6 restaurants. Not to mention the actual water-park itself which had so much to offer. 5-night stay at the princely sum of £55/night. Flights were only about £100 return as well as we went just before half-term so got decent prices. Literally the only downside was that it was Ryanair we had to fly on . One thing you have to do when going Morocco is visit a/some of the Riads. They're like hotels but have an open courtyard area to dine/drink in or just chill out in. Highly recommend seeing them as you get to see real culture of the city/country. I'm sure there'll be loads in Agadir as well. Plenty of market stalls/bazaars no doubt as well.

Oh my. Alles Gute nachträglich, lieber Lars!

LARS' BIRTHDAY!!!!

Controversial opinion here. The Pianist > Schindler's List Also, The Big Lebowski is a boring film.

Cascais (part of greater Lisbon) is not as lively as Lisbon but it is just as tourist-friendly and its city centre is arguably more charming. I love it there specially at night time. The village has a traditional feel because of the archtitecure and historic buildings and there are some very nice restaurants where you can get a privileged view to the ocean. It's a beautiful place to be honest, and indeed the beaches are the nicest in Lisbon. Hope you get good weather. Oh and the seafood is the freshest you'll ever eat. Since you have 5 days you might want to check Portugal's nicest treat, a "pastel de nata", in a place called Pastéis de Belém, in Belém. It is the most reviwed eatery in the world. I go to games frequently. It's very easy and cheap to get tickets. The stadium is rarely sold out against middle/bottom table sides, so you should be able to get tickets even in the day of the match. Most home games are routine wins so it's fun for a tourist I guess.

Doesn't even compare!

Nice santa outfit mate!

Lol, like two peas in a pod and look-alikes, your son and our wee grandson Kaiden 5+

Looks like he’s about to drop a paragraph or two #chipofftheoldblock
