clumpy1 11 Posted May 26, 2014 Did you and your mate's rent somewhere together? What was the rough cost's? I am itching to do it if I didn't have to fix so many little niggly bit's on my car (note to self don't buy someone else's unfinished car) I would have been there this year. Those tunnel's sound like fun :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie 1 Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) We stayed here in Portschach and it was excellent. I had a one bedroom apartment and my mates had a two bed apartment and they were €300 each for the week including a free Worthersee card which gets you into most attractions for free. I think all in I done about £1200 so not cheap, but you could do it for a lot less if you are careful/not stupid :lol: The tunnels are brilliant but absolutely cane your fuel, as does the Autobahn Edited May 26, 2014 by Jamie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie 1 Posted May 26, 2014 Was over there eight days in total. The £1200 included the ferry, fuel, two overnight stops there and back, spending money and eating out every day. Worth every penny though :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Worth every penny though :) That is pretty good value for a driving holiday as you have more cost's involved than a traditional holiday. Just need to make sure the car is ready now!! Cheer's pal appreciate the info. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie 1 Posted May 26, 2014 Anytime mate. If you or anyone else wants any advice on going - ask away :) Yeah it's not actually that bad bearing in mind we were paying motorway services fuel prices. I done two tankfuls while we were there as well just driving round and that and we ate out twice a day every day so actually thinking about it, it's not that bad....

clumpy1 11 Posted May 26, 2014 Better spending it there than on some package holiday to Turkey where you will inevitably get some kind of food poisoning in the time you are there and spend 2 days glued to the toilet and get ripped off from every local at every opportunity :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

loepan 11 Posted May 26, 2014 well I'm definitely going next year, booked my time off already, gonna organise a group of fellow dubbers, i know this will dwell down from a large group of 'yeah I'm up for that' people, to a much lesser number, its to be expected hopefully the mechanics and the photographers that i know, won't drop out ;-) but if anyones interested in tagging small groups together, like minded people and all that, travel down in a group and make new friends, all stay in the same hotel/area etc hoping for first timers and people who have been before we might even get discounts for group bookings? was going to start a event on fb with minor details and add anyone who's interested, then ideas can be thrown around? is that too optimistic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
