Go to Masala Zone in Covent Garden it’s amazing!!
Booked Norway. My friend has said we're going on a Moose safari, so something different I guess 
I was mostly in Oslo city last time so it will be good to explore the wider parts of it.

loads! Have you ever been before or will it be your first time?
First time. Solo traveller and not really done city breaks before (Aside from Dubai). Mainly good food and nice gardens/places to wander round.
Will mainly walk around or maybe the Metro, is it easy to use?
it's a great city to travel solo, first of all if you're flying take the blue bus to the centre from the airport as it's 4€ and easier than the metro (unless you speak Spanish and/or are good at navigating).
The gothic quarter is the most beautiful area to get lost in, you can do a free walking tour as the history is v interesting.
La Barceloneta is the area with the beach - it's not the nicest beach by far but it's still good.
I would def walk around Park Guell as there's nothing else like it.
Restaurants I would go to which are all affordable and mostly traditional are: l'alcoba blava, bodega la palma, bistro sensi.
Bar Oasis for a drink on a nice terrace and my fave hidden place of Barcelona is, placa de sant felip neri - this little square got bombed during the war, has a beautiful fountain and there's a little bar there you can have a drink at! (They use this location for loads of Spanish films).
I think that's enough of my secrets shared haha enjoy!!
Ok so help me please I would love to go to the Bahamas, anyone been and can offer and advice? It’s not somewhere I know anything at all about? Partner says we’re better off Indian Ocean beach places…again I know nothing about this! Any thoughts, advice, help much appreciated!! Family with 2 kids, they’ll be 10/11 ish.

I love Barcelona. For less tourist-y places, Carrer de Blai, a street near Paral-lel metro station is fantastic. Its full of small tapas bars, perfect for a "tapas crawl". Our food tour with a local took us to this area and it was so so good.
Has anyone here been to Mexico in June before? It’s the start of the “rainy hurricane season” so we were happy to go at the start of the month but all the good hotels are booked up and only available 20th onwards… not sure if it’s worth risking it with the weather. How bad can it really be though? Any help is very appreciated!
Not Mexico, but I’ve been to the Caribbean in hurricane season and it was fine. Quite a few showers, but they quickly passed and within 15 mins you’d never know it rained
We have Mexico booked for next July!
Rainy season in a tropical climate usually means an absolute downpour for half an hour and then sun again. Hurricanes would tend to be worse for Mexico a bit later in the year, I'd say June will be grand.
Yes the first time we went to Mexico was the first 2 weeks of June and had about 4 days where it rained a loooot in our 2nd week there (like most of the day) and the first day it literally flooded some streets in Playa Del Carmen but we got a lot of really hot days too, we had an absolutely brilliant time so it’s always worth the chance to go then but personally for me I wouldn’t go back in June because of the chance of rain but that’s just my personal preference because we’ve since been to the Caribbean in November and would always pick November-January now! I don’t think it’s hurricane season though, that tends to be September I thought? Xx
He's right in terms you'll get much better value for money in Indian Ocean. With the Bahamas you need to choose your islands carefully as some can be a bit dodgy outside resorts and others fine.Ok so help me please
I've not been to the Bahamas but have a friend that is out there a lot on business and has stayed all over the country.Where have you stayed? I don’t know where to start really
I’m not sure how much better value places like Maldives, Seychelles etc are though
I need to research!I'm off to the Maldives in September....postponed from 2020! ....works out very well as it's our 35th Wedding Anniversary when we're there! ....we've pushed the boat out and flying business class with Qatar
We first went to Maldives in 2019 and fell in love with it.....we stayed on a tiny island (Kandolhu) with only 30 villas and felt totally spoiled and felt as if it was our very own private island ....the marine life is amazing and there were several resident turtles on the reef...the water is incredible- so clear and turquoise and warm!
We first went to The Indian Ocean for our 30th Wedding anniversary and went to a couple of the islands in The Seychelles archipelago which were also incredible but I think The Maldives are just so very special and the seaplane arrival is something else!
