European Vacation

[Pat Mustard]

Coincidentally, I'm taking my kid to Europe in summer 2019.
Not too interested in Amsterdam but my top choices are Reykjavik, Paris, Barcelona, Italy, Prague and Porto, Portugal (saw it featured on a tv show and it looked pretty cool ).

It will only be a week or two so I'll choose one area, I'm not big on 6 countries in 8 days-type trips. I need time to wander around and get a feel for a place to really enjoy it.

I've also heard some of these cities are jam packed with tourists in summer and I'd rather give the touristy crowds a miss.

I would love to go back to the UK to visit but I lived there illegally for a time in the 1990s. Not sure if I'd make it past the border.

If you do make it to the UK, try to visit Belfast in mid-July.  Nothing says 'Northern Ireland' like the soft glow of effigies burning gently in the night.

And the neighbouring housing estates if the unionist neanderthals are allowed to keep their expansionist bonfire policy.
