Yep, got stranded on Sant Antoni de Portmany on the west side of Ibitha Island in the Balearic. Could not find my excursion bus. They forgot about me . Planned on jogging all the way to Ibitha town all the way in the east but this local couple offered to take me there as they said 'theyre going there anyway' Had a passport Visa debit card, loaded in Euros but was empty then. I did though experience the Island in a much more filling experience. The people are really beautiful and compassionate. My sort of retirement if I ever do so. In fact Spain is the most beautiful and most suitable of the European lot: The weather is good, the atmosphere sublime, not to poor but above average.. |

Got scammed by souk traders in Tunisia once. (I hate that place!) Moral of story do not stray from excursion group doing your own thing! I got a wooden chess board set, local hookah pipe set, some 'hand of Fatima' necklace, a small ornamental bird cage, a cigarette souvenir after a selfie with the traders.. They made me pay more through the card machine which had ripples later on. |

Sorry to hear that clievy. He didn't have holiday insurance? I stepped off the train at Cambridge and it left without me. As luck would have it, the flying Dutchman was stopped for an emergency so the coachman got me on it. Was in kings cross in like an hour.

having no warnings on the beach after multiple deaths makes it sound as though they know there's a problem but they don't want it to impact on the revenue of their tourism industry. sorry for your loss. |

Sorry to hear that. Nothing as bad as that. Once came back from a holiday to find that my car had been stolen from the 'secure' private car park i'd left it in near Leeds/Bradford airport. |

They're really strict with the beaches here in SA though. YOU CAN ONLY SWIM BETWEEN THE FLAGS where the lifeguards sit and watch. Also can't stray too deep. Also can't swim after about 5pm at all. Think the police can arrest you or give a warning if you do your own thing. Once was approached by the police at a beach in the 'South Coast, i.e. South of Durban, KZN' because they said nobody can swim at all, even right on the shore because of 'the murky waters from the rains bringing sediment from the rivers' The sharks are the obvious reason: yes the rugby team, not! SA, Australia and California are the most dangerous shark locations. *Jaws music plays in the background* But I do not care, best way to exit the world. You do not go to hell.. And if you do manage to survive, people actually look up to you and you become somewhat of a celebrity |
