The idea of a coach trip or cruise does not appeal. My partner and I joined a tour in China in 1990 and that was enough of tours for us. At that time solo travel in China was too complicated and expensive. It was a relief to leave the group behind and board the train in Beijing for our onward journey to Moscow.Travellernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577767911269302322.post-27223631074356708522022-11-28T17:08:25.889-07:002022-11-28T17:08:25.889-07:00You should have said to the young lady in the lift...You should have said to the young lady in the lift...

Full of characters like the girl with a Brummie accent asking "Does anyone want a Burn nana" (banana), the same couple who were late every time to get on the coach and the coach driver who drank like a fish and was always still in the bar at two in the morning. You meet some characters when you go on a coach trip or stay in an hotel.northsider https://www.blogger.com/profile/00716743611909673869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577767911269302322.post-36416514497204232502022-11-28T12:39:49.639-07:002022-11-28T12:39:49.639-07:00My friend and her husband, in their 50s at the tim...My friend and her husband, in their 50s at the time, once booked a coach holiday to the Lakes for Christmas. The coach wound its way across the country picking up people as it went. Each time someone got on my friends thought whatever had they done because the people getting on were folk clearly the wrong side of 70. Once at the hotel they started to worry that it was going to be the worst Christmas ever. You can guess what I am going to say can't you. It turned out to be the BEST ever Christmas and they had never laughed so much. It seems that the older people get the less bothered they are about appearances and what people might think. They just let their hair down and get on with it. I have never been to Benidorm but feel sure I could enjoy it. I have come across situations like the bikini clad girl that you describe and again, no problem, just chatted normally with me, my fully clothed self covered up to the chin. I think people just like being able to be themselves.
