I'll swap you for a week in Johannesburg Wyn (not to the football) but with work! Then again NY is just as dangerous!

I was in Dubai last week and contemplating a return to the UK, but since the Icelandic volcano went pop no flights to be had.

Now chilling in Tunisia, scrolling the web looking for a wedge.

So you want a holiday in a land with extreme weather, dodgy food, hostile tribesmen and a language you can't speak? Try Wales biggrin

That's my neck of the woods wink
I've been camping there for the last five years despite it only being 25 minutes down the road.
Enjoy

Oh eck. Not good news. Re hotels, I hate them when they do that, any chance that they have a captive audience and they bump the rates up. One thieving git industry representative went on to say that it may be the only chance they have to make a profit (on TV a few years ago and about city center hotels when sporting events or concerts were on).

Sorry to hear your woes there wyn, nightmare!
What a shock about the hotels too...!!
Shouldnt the travel operator or airline recompense you for lost monies?? :-l
Be a shame if you have to sell now!

I only got home today because my wife is 5 months pregnant, otherwise they were quoting 7th May for my return!!
