Help! Need quick advice on a weekend in May!
I'm meeting three longtime friends in London in less than two weeks. We'll stay there a couple of weekdays and then have a weekend available to take a quick trip. It seems like the guys want to visit another city. I need advice on where to go on May 17-19. Any ideas? We're all mid-40s men, the families are back home and our budgets are on the low side. I'm anxious to hear from this well traveled group! Thanks.<BR>

I'm not sure if you are planning on leaving England or not. The Eurostar to Paris takes about 3 hrs and Paris is a wonderful weekend getaway. Or you could fly to Edinburgh, I've never been there, but hear it is amazing. Or within England, perhaps go to Bath for a day or two.

The bullfighting season kicks off on the 15th May - San Isidro at Las Ventas. Weather will probably be great. If you're looking for nightlife, there's probably nowhere better in Europe. Food fantastic. And don't forget the museums - Prado, reina Sofia and Thyssen. Uff, I think I'll go myself!!<BR><BR>Alun <BR><BR>Author: Beth2 ([email protected])<BR>Date: 05/02/2002, 08:26 am <BR>Message: Paris in the springtime via the chunnel.<BR><BR>Author: Sheila ([email protected])<BR>Date: 05/02/2002, 09:12 am <BR>Message: Come to Edinburgh- you can get the train from city centre to city centre. It's an amazing city to spend a weekend- I got a hint of golf in the tone of the question. Play golf at a choice of some of the best courses in the world.
