Renton 20414 Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 I was gonna say that but that tree in the background suggested the English riviera to me. Also, not really a holiday is it. Crowds out in Tynemouth today like, first T shirt weather for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 13590 Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Cracking weather today. Managed to get out in the garden for the first time since getting this gaff thanks to the constant fucking misery water belting down. Bottles of Mythos if anyone cares 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness to it, it's a really nice space to spend time these days with additions like the Blacks Corner eatery and the Seaburn Inn hotel pub and like most places, infinitely better when the sun is out. Nice on a Friday teatime having a couple of pints and watching the world go buy. And brilliant for early morning dog walks at 5am - 6am. Nobody there apart from a few scattered groups of women sitting around camp fires in between cold water bathing. Gotta get your 10,000 steps in nice and early Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 41318 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Mrs. F. wants 4-5 days in Rome , looking at mid-September- ( to avoid the Viking flavoured daughter frying). I’m guessing that 5 days will be ample time to see the sights at a leisurely pace, and that, since it’s the Capital, it won’t be shut Must see’s for me are the Coliseum, The Forum, a day getting “lost” and finding a god-level trattoria, a market, and some bang-tidy Roman flange deposits in the Wank Bank ( I have some wraparound shades which are cracking perv goggles). Mrs. F. wants to go to the Vatican… I’m distinctly in the “meh” camp on that one, but I’ll probably end up going. Any tips, must-sees I’ve not mentioned, must-avoids, or scran recommendations?

My gran died at the end of last year and has lived, since the early 80s in the same house in Cleadon. She wanted my mam to have her house. There's loads of work needs doing on it, but they're hoping to get in by the autumn. Nice quiet cul-de-sac, and she's moving from Deckham in Gateshead, so it'll be a nice move for them.

I vetoed the Vatican when I went with my lass. Trevi fountain is absolutely swamped by tourists and is footballer's wivestastic but still worth seeing. But other than the places you've mentioned, I would say just wandering about and stopping in places for coffee and scran is the way to go. Don't bother with Roman pizza. It's like a giant water biscuit with cheese and tomato on top. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 42598 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 (edited) Watch Rob and Rylan's Grand Tour on iplayer. The last episode is Rome and you might find some stuff you fancy seeing on that.

You can buy chilled beer from the many ice cream vans and kiosks you'll find. Grab one and chill out. Like most Italian cities, it's one that isn't overrated. It's fucking amazing. Mind, I went in 2006 or something in a heatwave in June and it wasn't that busy then, Trevi fountain was okay and tbh I'd just do it. Probably give the Vatican a swerve mind as I suspect you'll react like Damian from the Omen being dragged to church and spontaneously combust. Oh, the pizza is great too, same as everywhere in Italy. Ignore Gemmill who wants 3 inches of dough on his Chicago Town. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
