  Morning everyone:

  Anyone would recommend some place in britain/nearby europe (netherlands, belgium, france) where to spend few relaxing days of holiday?
  I'm already considering Ireland as an option

  You could do a Prague-Kraków trip, they're connected by a single train I think.
  Have you been in a salt mine? I wasn't but would love to go there one day:

  Or, you could come to Dublin and we'd call qbn drinks, on a cliff if that is your preference :)

  Agreed, if you're over n Dublin we can sort out a few scoops.
  If you decide continental Europe, try Lisbon, amsterdam, prague or madrid. Enjoyed em all for different reasons and highly recommend them to visit.

  • After we drag you through the Howth cliff walkway you'll know why I scrapped moving to London plans– rafalski1/2

    Jesus Raf, sounds like a torture as opposed to a fun touristy thing!– ian2/2

  If you're going to relax, the west coast of Ireland is beautiful and calming. If you want to have fun, Berlin can't be beaten. Another relaxing place I have visited is Sancerre – about 2 hours outside of Paris on the train. I stayed in a wonderful B&B there a few years ago (http://sancerrebb.com/). The wine and goat's cheese in the area are top notch, the town looks like a place that Amélie Poulain might go on holidays.

  • Giving a Sardinian goat's cheese recommendations is like telling a Frenchman about amazing Cali zinfandel ;)– rafalski1/2

  i backpacked through ireland a few years ago and i absolutely loved it! especially the west like Daithi mentioned. Places like Doolin are beautiful!
  The nature is stunning, people are friendly, live music in the pubs, lot's of guinness, what more do you need :)

  Fariska, can you advise on a Sicily trip itinerary? All I've got is tickets to Trapani for a week in September.
  The official plan so far is to sunbathe, snorkel, sightsee and eat, but no arrangements were made yet. Any cities/villages/beaches/err.. volcanoes to recommend?
