3/4 weeks spent on an inter railing trip taking in Berlin, Amsterdam, Paris & London sounds like a good idea.
Out of these 4 I’ve only been to Berlin & London. Two cracking spots. I’d imagine I wouldn’t be disappointed with the other 2 either
Ah Paris is superb, expensive though. I am interrailing between Oslo and Stockholm next week. :lol:
heres a good spot if your on your tod in spain.
a FREE week in a little village where you get fed nice food, drink cracking rioja and ,if your lucky get to chat up some gamey spanish birds …all you have to do in return is speaka da english.
you make your own way to Madrid, they pick you up and drop you off a week later.
I was there 5 years ago and i pulled. thats all i’m saying.
most of the other english speakers are fat middle aged americans and the sprogs fuckin them them larries! .
its like shootin gash in a barrell .
get on it !

Sounds a little dull but that doll with the black hair looks like she has potential!
:rolleyes:
Could I get the low down on Amsterdam and Brussels please? I’ll be in Amsterdam for 2 days in early October and Brussels for 2 days too the week after. What would the lone male traveller get up to in these destinations? I will take recommendations on hotels, pubs/clubs, restaurants, brothels and other general activities please.
Try one of the Argentinian restaurants in Amsterdam for one of their steaks. You will not have a finer steak…
I was in Brussels for a Cellic game and to be honest outside of the match there didn’t seem to be a whole pile else happening.
Unfortunately I’ve yet to make it to Amsterdam.
FFS. The man is going to the sex and drugs capital of Europe and Dunph reccommends getting the steak :rolleyes:
That’s quite a few people that have told me Brussels is a shit hole. Surely there’s some street/district with a bit of activity? No?
I think there is a nice fountain somewhere.
Of course, there is also the Anne Frank museum and Madame Tussauds, can’t think of anything else…
What about the Tulip picking Tour, highly recommended for the serious traveller…
I can heartily recommend the altarpiece of Ghent, Bandage. Unmissable.
What’s all this about then? :o
Brussels is an unfairly maligned city. It has much to offer the lone traveller, partculalrly one that is prepared together out of his hotel room of an evening. It is of course a paradise for all alcoholics, both actual and borderline offering as it does an array of wondrous beers of leg buckling alcoholic content. tWas many the morning I woke up after a feed of Trappiste ales unsure as to how I got home and unclear ascto whether I was paralysed from the waste down until I took my first tentative steps to the bathroom
Nice one, Fagan. Please give me some venues to check out.
It is a masterpiece of 15th century art, Bandage. I am currently in the process of finalising my jaunt around the low countries, highlighted by Bruges, Brussels, Ghent, Amsterdam, Luxembourg, Haarlem and Amsterdam.
Went to Brussels for my stag of all places. Some A-Rabs pulled a gun on us
:lol: Was reading today about a gun fight in Kilmallock actually. Vol Sean Forde v Cpt Brown on the road outside Mount Coote, slugging away for 20 minutes with Webleys from 70 yards! No hits inflicted.
