    We're now going to Prague. In October. She's Italian and wanted some hint of sun before Winter sets in. Oh well.

    .

    Also, turns out that the booking system I was using didn't actually require passport numbers up front, so that's another massive argument in my future.

    Really annoying thing is that she insisted she was going to book, last week. Somehow she didn't and somehow everything thereafter is my fault.

    • prague looks much better when the weather is shit.hans_glib
    • true - is very atmospheric in a dank fogFax_Benson
    • I went to Prague and didn't pay for a train ticket the whole time... The barriers were open everywhere and never saw an inspector...set
    • My girlfriend at the time went a few months after me and asked for tips. I said don't bother paying for the train. They got arrested on their first day hahahaset
    • She's Italian what would you expect? It obviously your fault. Everything. Forever. I'm Portuguese, I'm always guilty. You will learn to live it it. Adapt.oey
    • ^LOL!oey
    • Any recommendations? It was literally the only viable option given the myriad of constraints we'd had. I know fuck all about the place, hahadetritus
    • 'haha' = dying inside.
      (I've wanted to go for years, but non-specifically and now that it's upon me, I'm perplexed. as often)      detritus
    • haha, oey - thanks?

      *weeps*      detritus
    • We had great fun doing a segway tour of the city. You'll curse at the cunts as they go past as they're everywhere... we did.set
    • I recommend it though. A fun way to get your bearings and see the city.set
    • (I assume they're still a thing)set
    • Thanks, will lookseedetritus
    • If I'm honest, I'm kind of glad - I'd rather 'Do' Morocco properly some time, and given the time of year, I'd prefer hearty C.European stodge over falafels.detritus
    • "some hints of sun..." in Prague in October? does not computeOBBTKN
    • My biggest fear was that we'd end up doing some package deal in Fuerteventura etc, just to get Sun. I've never done a package holiday 'cos I'm a snooty cunt...detritus
    • bcn, sevilla, why not lisbon?OBBTKN
    • I could just imagine her horror, on holiday with loads of the Fat Red Northern Boorish Brit drunk fake-suing Hooligans she imagines we all are.detritus
    • I reckon you'd be more likely to run into Germans in Fuertaventura in October.

      Naturally, you'd never get a sun lounger.      Continuity
    • OB - that's the point, it's perverse. We considered Portugal, but a bit dull. Spain, Italy & France are verboten as they're common ground for both of us.detritus
    • I was actually gunning for Bilbao but she assiduously ignored it every time I mentioned it. Trouble is, it's so late now, flights to anywhere else = $$$detritus
    • I'd've happily gone to Croatia, Greece, Tunisia, Israel, and if she'd..sorry "we'd" booked last week we could've. Now though it's just costly.detritus
    • Hey, set - can you ..er.. get smoke over there easily? That was the one thing I was looking forward to about Morocco... :\detritus
    • I didn't tryset
    • Ah. Good. I'm glad. Evil stuff - was just asking for Law Enforcement porpoises.detritus
    • No Bilbao? Tell her that the basques have not killed foreigners for a long time... we are civilised and nice people now ;)OBBTKN
    • Vienna >>>> Praguei_monk
    • Another time, perhapsdetritus
    • I really love Austriaset
    • Spent new years in Innsbruck and had the best time ever. Lovely people. Good food. Beautiful scenery. The mountains are just THERE everywhere you lookset
    • thanks i_monk - very handy at this stage!detritus
    • If you're stuck with Prague visit the Old City/Wencelas Square once and don't go back. Stay somewhere else in the city if you can. The whole area is a shittyi_monk
    • tourist trap full of fast food franchises and souvenir shops.i_monk
    • Even handier - that's where we've booked. Excellent news!detritus
    • I did actually wonder at the relative proximity of a Hard Rock cafe, a few minutes walk away.detritus
    • However, I have a Czech client who apparently loves the fucking thing, so perhaps they think it's bonadfide over there?detritus
