Post by Frank »

So I'm heading off to the UK & Spain shortly, and was wondering if anyone can suggest any good places to visit while I'm over there?? :D

What sort of things do you like, Frank?

Off the beaten track?
Nature stuff?
Ruins?
Food?
Experiences?
Museums?
Castles?
A bit of everything?

It really depends on what your interests are...

UK, Brands Hatch or Doniongton are always worth a visit

High life in the sun go to St Tropez in France - easy trip to Monaco (Steer clear of paris it's full of rats and french people :D )

Boarder of France & Spain is Andora - tax haven!!!!!!

Holland, most towns are cool - I'd steer clear of Amstadam and do to one of the other cities - same deal except no tourist bull

Germany - has the 'ring' and the Autobahn - either is fun 8)

Austria is like Australia just with less letters

Oh, and steer clear of the Med islands and Spanish coast - all full of drunk English poeple.

Thanks Cath

I'm planning on doing it on the cheap as $4G doesn't last too long once you have paid for the airline tickets. So really anything thats not going to cost a whole lot of money :)

So I'll prob investigate the usual stuff but not the real touristy things as they generally from experiance cost a shit load of money. Will definately check out the tracks hopefully Goodwood will be on as well, I would love to check that out.
