Bin there done that, got sand in me shoes and a sore bum from excessive camel riding.


Did not care for the food much either.


The place was full of shifty looking types trying to sell me historical paraphernalia.


Never went back so couldn't have rated it highly.


Did not like being badgered constantly when on the street.


Have a nice hols charlie2 dye your hair blonde they really like blondes and brush up your French too.

Working a bit from home and also going round London. Today went to Mitcham then over to Hounslow and then over to Kentish Town and back.

When not working, gardening the balcony plants and wondering again how to stop squirrels ruining everything. The slate chips stopped working for them. :(

Going to friend's beach house Tues and Wed. HooraH!

As its The EDF and to try and keep up with some of our Jones's here, tomorrow I shall visit :

The Great Pyramid of Giza then move onto The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, then I'll take in The Statue of Zeus at Olympia, have a sojourn and see The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus.


In the afternoon I'll explore The Mausoleum of Maussollos at Halicarnassus, investigate The Colossus of Rhodes and finish my day by inspecting The Lighthouse of Alexandria.


Not sure what I'll do on Sunday...

    • Wow I had no idea they give you 5% in perfume for your accommodation. You're right, I need to travel more. 
    • Do none of you go abroad.  Tourist taxes are really common in continental Europe and do vary a lot city by city. They are collected by the hotels/rental apartments. They are usually a  tiny part of your holiday costs.  In Narbonne recently we paid €1.30 per person per night.  The next town we went to charge 80 cents per person per night. By comparison Cologne is 5% of your accomodation.
    • Hey Sue, I was wrong - I don't think it would just be for foreign tourists. So yeah I assume that, if someone lives in Lewisham and wants to say the night in southwark, they'd pay a levy.  The hotels wouldn't need to vet anyone's address or passports - the levy is automatically added on top of the bill by every hotel / BnB / hostel and passed on to Southwark. So basically, you're paying an extra two quid a night, or whatever, to stay in this borough.  It's a great way to drive footfall... to the other London boroughs.  https://www.ukpropertyaccountants.co.uk/uk-tourist-tax-exploring-the-rise-of-visitor-levies-and-foreign-property-charges/
    • Pretty much, Sue, yeah. It's the perennial, knotty problem of imposing a tax and balancing that with the cost of collecting it.  The famous one was the dog licence - I think it was 37 1/2 pence when it was abolished, but the revenue didn't' come close to covering the administration costs. As much I'd love to have a Stasi patrolling the South Bank, looking for mullet haircuts, unshaven armpits, overly expressive hand movements and red Kicker shoes, I'm afraid your modern Continental is almost indistinguishable from your modern Londoner. That's Schengen for you. So you couldn't justify it from an ROI point of view, really. This scheme seems a pretty good idea, overall. It's not perfect, but it's cheap to implement and takes some tax burden off Southwark residents.   'The Man' has got wise to this. It's got bad juju now. If you're looking to rinse medium to large amounts of small denomination notes, there are far better ways. Please drop me a direct message if you'd like to discuss this matter further.   Kind Regards  Dave
