Anyone been to Kenya ?

looking for a Honeymoon Venue to follow a wedding in November
thinking possibly of a weeks Safari followed by a week next to the Ocean
any ideas ?

 

Come to the isle of wight. There's Red squirrels to see and a few beaches. Probably a bit dearer then Kenya though.

 

Sounds expensive, how about Chester Zoo then onto Southport, pocket the difference yourself and spend it on booze and birds. Wife will never suspect a thing.

 

On a more serious, but probably obvious note. I have no idea about Kenya, but before you settle on your destination, check rainfall for the time of year. Nearly booked the Maldives for our honeymoon, then found out it could potentially rain for 2 weeks.

I'm sure I would have been chuffed to bits.

 

Great idea, if the lions dont get her, then the sharks might

Wish i'd thought of that

 

Got back from honeymoon in Dominican Republic last week. Loved the place, would def go back.

 

Wise words

Trouble is that if it rains for two weeks she'll expect me to stop inside and shag her all the time, and quite frankly I can't be arsed with that

 

Dominican Republic is fantastic. Had a great time when I went.

no idea if this works, but apparently you can have 14 days rain in November. No idea if this is like a 10 minute downpour each day that you get in other places, which quite frankly is refreshing, or like the 2 weeks 'planned' caravaning I had in cornwall as a kid and we had to come back after 3 days.

 

where abouts did you go?? We went to the south of the island, Iberostar Hacienda Dominicus at Bayhabie

 

Yep!

Fantastic experience

Goods points - safari, snorkelling in the indian ocean, weather, hotel

Bad points - poverty, security guards on hotel to keep locals out, food, harassed by prostitutes / street sellers the second you set foot outside hotel

but on the whole would go again and plan on taking my kids when they are old enough for the safari alone!!

 

Went North (cheaper I think!) and seriously, with the name you've just given for a hotel, do you expect me to remember, where the hell I stayed it was playa something or other.

 

RE: Yep!

And you think being harassed by prostitutes is a negative for Mr Scarfy ?

 

Did you say prostitutes ?

cheap ones ?

 

lol. the names are easily forgotten!!

 

best phrase of the day is

'quite frankly refreshing'

Ise of Wight Tyke sitting in a bar overlooking the Bay of Solent. Bartender says "hows the Gin and Tonic today Sir ?"

"after the day I've had, it is.........................."

will have a look at that site cheers

 

RE: best phrase of the day is

sometimes I type with my arse you know, that's the kind of thing that comes out.

 

I'm not taking the piss

It was poetry

Is the sun shining in the very south today ?

 

Mainly sunny, bits of cloud occassionally

You're watching amateur weather.

 

RE: Did you say prostitutes ?

didn't want to ask...

even when walking hand in hand with the wife they still come and offer their services...but you really wouldn't want to take the risk with your health!!!!

and i don't mean Aids i mean the beating from your wife.
