I have 2 weeks off....

ancapailldorcha

Hi guys,

Essentially, I have to take 2 weeks off work before mid-July lest I lose them. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone might have any ideas of things I could do/places to see on a smallish budget (few hundred pounds).

Go raibh maith agat.

I assume you mean euros... go find the cheapest you can on ryanair.com and go somewhere.

MickySticks

Buy a monkey and play snakes and ladders with it. Monkeys love that shit.

ancapailldorcha

I've done no travelling whatsoever and I'd be going solo. Not something I've done before. Thanks for the response though.

Unlikley, he;s in Oxford.

I know I'n baised here, but I'd recommended Berlin for a city break on a budget. As MadYaker said, Ryanair (or Easyjet) and the you can have fun here on the balance.

That are just rent a car and drive and for a long drive. Coast is nice, I hear.

Well, the Volvo Ocean Race finishes up in Galway in June. Not sure of dates off hand but easily checked out on line. When it was here mid race (2 years ago?) it was fantastic.Fabulous atmosphere,loads of free music around and about the place,great market and no end of fun to be had.I would really recommend a trip to Galway to check it out!That's my input.Have fun whatever!

Buy World of Warcraft. It'll last more than 2 weeks. You won't even have to leave the house. Stock up on fast food.

When you get the hang of it, play pvp and treat yourself to a bag of charles. The 2 go together. I heard off someone.

If you're going to travel on your own then stay in a hostel in a big dorm. That's the easiest way of finding other people to hang out and do touristy stuff with.

I've lots of spiders I can give you, and these ones are big enough to put roller skates on.

A nice painting holiday in the West of Ireland. It's a two storey house but you should get it done in two weeks. I'll make tay.

I spat coffee.

MadYaker

Ah yes, i didn't see his location. You been to London? I haven't I suggest you go there for a few days, great city!

ancapailldorcha

I've been a few times but never for too long. Nice idea, might look into it.

Chuck Stone

Cork is the centre of the universe.

dr.bollocko

Many places around the UK worth visiting.

Though my favourite suggestion so far was definitely the monkey and snakes and ladders.

ryanair it to eastern europe. Stay in hostels. you can fly to Zadar for cheap. Start there and work your way slowly west. Very cheap in these parts and a lot to do.

TeddyTedson

Oxford is nice at that time of year.

I bet you're one of those people that Billy Connolly had a go at, years ago. If you haven't seen the Highlands, head up to Glasgow and hit the buses to Fort William, Aviemore or Aberdeen. I'd avoid Inverness, though - a town killed by tourism is there ever was one.

Try 1998 OP...

MadameGascar

Choose a region in Europe that attracts you and go explore. You could make your way around from place to place, even alternate between hotels and camping and get to see town and countryside. Don't know what you're into OP if you're looking for burds or beering or pony camps or what but some places I recommend are Croatia's Plitvice http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plitvice_Lakes_National_Park, south of Italy, or Rhône-Alpes & Côte d'Azur.

1 day of coke and hookers and 13 days fapping.

Fapping first or coke and hookers first?
Those hookers have tricks man. You need fap training to counter that.

Scotland is great, having previously lived in Edinburgh and currently living in Glasgow. But giving the choice, for a roughly similar cost, eastern Europe in July or Scotland? hmm....that's a tough one.

I'm inclined to go with either Eastern Europe or Rome/Amsterdam. I like history, hence Rome and I'd be on my own as well. Thanks to everyone who replied so far!!

Diablo III will be on the market from 15th of May

Amsterdam baby!!

It's an absolutely beautiful city. The architecture is amazing. There's buildings made from hookers.

Spend two weeks drinking whiskey day and night and listening to this song over and over and over and over and over again...

Crystal Meth really passes the time.

Hey. What did ya decide on?? I'm off fr 4 weeks, same reason as yerself and have a week over me already. Gettin bored now too!

Grayson

On a serious note... you could check out a site like skyscanner.ie . It'll show you the cheapest flights everywhere in the dates your looking at. Just ut in the dates, chose your point of departure and leave your destination blank. There's a few others like it, but I can't remember their names.

Or buy an xbox and prestige in call of duty.

Mickey Dazzler

Perhaps buy yourself some heroin and sleeping bag and start chasing the dragon on bachelors walk.

candy-gal1

Flick the bean, and all will be fine.

Not 100% sure yet. Only got told today about the 2 weeks. I reckon it'll have to be a trip abroad.

You should go to London, I have been there loads of times but there is an never ending amount of things to do.

Or Amsterdam, my second favourite city. It really is an experience going there; everyone speaks English, the architecture is amazing and it is just so interesting to experience a completely different, laid back society.

Never been to Amsterdam. It's on my to do list.
