I am in the most boring place I've ever been to and am tempted to pay €300 so I can fly home on Monday, 4 days early... Live and learn eh!
See if you can guess where I am and also, have you ever been bored to death on holiday?
Full board holiday I presume?

I went for a friend's wedding and the football was a bonus. I'm not into any of those things except history, but the island has very little greenery, 1 decent beach and the much vaunted silent city of Mdina is anything but silent. Plus that Kinnie drink is vile! Anyway different strokes for different folk. I have friends who have visited over 50 times and they love it so fair enough.

I know! All that wheat beer and dark lager gives me the sh!ts, so I only drink lager that I can see through and has plenty of life-threatening chemicals.

Wheat beer can go feck....

Unfortunately yes. The city of my birth has become too commercialised and its popularity with tourists means that its streets are thronging with visitors and no longer silent
To really appreciate the silence, and capture the eeriness and fabric of the City one must visit late in the evening, especially on a winter's day. when all the noisy throngs have ebbed away!

Leffe blonde or Jupiler should suffice.

Leffe? That’s a terminal headache right there. Been there done that, not going there again!

They had Schindler's lift in our hotel in Austria last year (and you know who came from Austria!) I spotted it and remarked without thiking to my wife -- it turned out the other couple in the lift were from Germany! Talk about "don't mention the war!" I don't think I got away with it.....

Not sure how anyone can be bore on holiday. Shows a lack of imagination. Where there is different scenery and different people there is always something interesting. Put your phone down and get out of the hotel.
