Alright,
Me & Mrs wanna go away for a weekend. Talking about it last night i suggested a Chelsea game in London and out on the piss. She wasnt game.
We dont want to just go, then go out on the razzle. We want to do something. Like a nice hotel, something in the day then maybe a show or something 'different' on a night.
Completely open to ideas, can be anywhere in UK or Europe.
Sensable answers only please.

I went to London with Louise for her 21st about a year ago now.
We stayed at the Waldorf Hilton which is near the London Eye, Aquarium etc. There is loads of other hotels around too....!
There is always plenty to do....London Eye (Book in advance though), Aquarium, Leicester Square (always something going on), Madame Tussauds (about 30mins on Tube). If you want to eat, I'd go over to China Town - loads of different restaurants and bars.

London and a west end show would go down well if I was your gf.
My Mum and Dad have been to Bath a couple of times and really liked it, quite a nice place to visit.

Why not try Dublin mate?
Temple Bar is real nice, tad expensive for drinks, but nice place to walk round and have some nice meals
Hannah
4th March 2008, 10:10
Can get a return flight to Dublin for about £55 with Ryan Air. Means you can spend more on a posh hotel! :)

Come up to Edinburgh for the weekend, plenty to see and do around town in the day time. Planet Earth thing, have a wee picnic up arthur seat, get drunk in princess street gardens :p, museums, art gallerys, tour of the castle. If you come up in the festival theres millions more things too.
Can go to the stand (intimate comedy club) or jongleurs (main stream comedy) in the evenings, or spend a night in the Jazzbar (awesome music in there!) or the Jamhouse if your after somewhere classy with live music, Witchery tour around the old town and down under the city in the vaults, go visit the dungeons.
Serious, say the word and ill find you a nice place and write you up an itinerary :p

Robb
4th March 2008, 11:00
prague, where you get prostitues cheaper than you can pints.
not romantic lol.

fulla shat tbh, i went in high season old square RAMMED with tourists not a prossy in site... went on the night there aswell didnt see "english stag does" maybe seen one group the whole night of lasses
new square rammed with tourists good classy part.
people say go for a stag but only because you and your mates would have a laugh with each other but it isnt rammed with hardcore drinking goons like the uk or what not, and the architecture was amazing i was expecting it to be crap with the lass but i certainly wouldnt be going with a mate for a weekend unless we wanted a cheap weekend, cant say id ever rate going there unless there was a big group of yas

Prague rocks........went last year and it was a mint time if your with the lads.
Only reason its full of tourists is because its one of the only major cities to survive from World War 2 without any damage.....history lesson for you all
Robb
4th March 2008, 11:40
taking your mrs to prague would be like taking your mrs to romania.
might aswell stay in one of them hostels aswell :d

4th March 2008, 11:43
My brother woke up in Prague in the hotel room around 2pm in afternoon when we were all out and there were 2 blokes smoking cigarettes out of his window.......he then found a pair of his jeans downstairs in the lobby on the radiator soaking wet with tv remotes in each pocket....
Explain that.....lol

Leck, do paris, do it in style
grab 1st class from leeds to london. Go to the new snazzy st pancras and eurostar it to paris. live it up in a swanky french hotels there. then take to the Eiffel Tower and propose. in all serious though she'd be well up for anal after that weekend treat.
job done.

Edinburgh (Shopping, Castle and Whisky factory during the day... nice restaurant in the evening)
London (Anything really... loads to do)
New Forest - (Leisurely bike ride through the forest amongst the wild horses and stuff... plenty of places to go in the evening)

End of May, last bank holiday until August, me and Fee are off to France for a couple of days.
If you can drive there, it's pretty cheap to get a room somewhere but you could also consider getting a Faerie but you're talking quite a bit of money. £298.00 for 3 off us and a car.

Mystic
4th March 2008, 15:55
