Re: Summer Holidays
There's a few pretty islands down the Adriatic (off Croatia) - Hvar etc. Last I was there, not much to do for the kids though on any of 'em, depending how old the kids are. I guess...

Re: Summer Holidays
Strange but I'm a walking Big Mac for midges, I found taking antihistamine tablets seemed to stop the buggers biting in the first place, was told they can scent it or something like that and avoid.Bruce Rioja wrote: ↑Tue Jul 04, 2017 1:36 pmBack from golfing in southern Spain - bitten to 4ucking death.

Re: Summer Holidays
Cheers, Fella. Bit late now, I guess. This is the first time in my life that the little blighters have ever bothered me though.

Re: Summer Holidays
They probably bit you after a 19th hole session, flew erratically for a bit, got the munchies and came back for more.

Re: Summer Holidays
Here's your answer Bruce. Really does work. Wife got both from the chemists (would imagine any supermarket chesmist counter has it, certainly Boots) I got savaged gardening and dog walking a while back . The relief one especially really did the trick for me.Bruce Rioja wrote: ↑Tue Jul 04, 2017 1:36 pmBack from golfing in southern Spain - bitten to 4ucking death.

Re: Summer Holidays
I take antihistamines (prescription strength ones) for my hayfever and they still bite the hell out of me. One way would be to stand next to me (a bit late I know). They love me that much they ignore most other people when I'm around. Or if they like you better, can I stand next to you instead.Hoboh wrote: ↑Tue Jul 04, 2017 11:22 pmThey worked on Mossies as wellBruce Rioja wrote: ↑Tue Jul 04, 2017 6:04 pmCheers, Fella.

I remember being in the departure lounge at Ibiza airport a few years ago and the bloody wild life of the flying type were feasting on quite a few.
On the recommendations of a local worker we ended up coated with vinegar, worked reasonably well but stunk. It didn't totally work as there were swarms of the buggers inside the aircon was faulty.

Re: Summer Holidays
Very likely they do B.B.if you shop around. I never asked the wife where she got it from and the e-bay link was the one that popped up on Google. . It's the business though, from one who it worked on.boltonboris wrote: ↑Wed Jul 05, 2017 11:47 amThey flog that in Bodycare for half that priceTANGODANCER wrote: ↑Tue Jul 04, 2017 8:22 pmHere's your answer Bruce.

Not exactly summer but 2 weeks in a superb hotel in Cyprus booked for March.
Re: Summer Holidays
Anyone been to Morocco?
Considering a break at the end of the month and it seems decent accommodation and cheap.
