Best holiday destinations

Amsterdam was, erm, different... With my job I avoided the rather smokey coffee shops but the stench on the streets, especially at night, was pretty strong!

The actual holiday was fine though

Traditionally, a lot of the Portugeuse immigrants in Jersey are from Madeira and subsequently the cafes and restaurants reflect Madeiran cuisine. Bolo do Caco, Milho Frito, Espetadas, Picado, Cozido, Bacalhau, grilled limpets are common menu favourites.

We're off to Northumberland in a week or two.
Staying in a lovely AirbnB fairly close to Alnwick.
We will be going to Bamburgh Castle and probably Lindisfarne.
Anyone visited there and found something lovely?
I'm going to be taking photos with my new long lens so if anyone is a photo type person and can suggest a particular place to go, well, that'd be just great thanks!

Cragside would be spectacular this time of year if you catch it before all the leaves drop, not far inland from Alnwick.

It's a great area, loads of castles to visit including Alwnick and Bamburgh of course. Lindisfarne is interesting bur be careful of the times on the causeway.
Cragside at Rothbury also good (National Trust)
Coastlines excellent plus you Have the Cheviots nearby and Keilder Water.

In my enthusiasm, I checked out and made a list of all the castles and ruins. 75 within that area, but because of the time of year I think there are only about 6 we can get into as most aren't open during the week!.
But Bamburgh is getting all rigged out.

Flying out to Tenerife in the morning for a few days.

Staying in the north of the island in Puerto De La Cruz but have a car to get around - any recommendations on activities, things to do, good restaurants etc. welcome!

definitely go up mount teide. As I remember if you are at the top of the mountain in the early morning and look west over the Atlantic it casts the largest shadow on earth.

Puerto is the prettiest resort in my view. Take in the botanical gardens whilst you`re there. Of course, there is the Lido, never went there ourselves, not our cup of tea. Decent coastal walk too.

Ranilla Brewery in Puerto de la Cruz is a decent bet. The Craft Room at Santa Cruz.
