California is pretty moderate compared to New Smyrna Beach, Florida, in terms of shark attacks.

Coastal northern Australia has friggen Saltw.ater crocodiles and Box jellyfish so explains the low population of humans there.

In Thailand I was walking along a beach road, saw all police and ambulances around, 2 guys dead on the road with their heads smashed open, they were both on a motorbike and drunk without helmets, came off and smashed their heads on the pavement, less than an hour after the accident it was all swept up, bodies taken, blood and brains washed away and everything carried on as normal.

No. I've reduced the risk by going abroad only a handful of times. In Germany we had to check the car for bombs every time we wanted to travel in it In a very small town in Austria i spent the week alone, as i was there for business but came down with an illness on the first day. No doctor, no food arranged, i just had to persevere with corner shops to get painkillers, beer that wasn't horrible, and something edible - none of which came easy, and nobody spoke much English. |

Would love visiting Austria, Switzerland and Germany.. I'll fake-claim Middle-High German ancestry even though I'm probably of the (old) Dutch origin. |

@ strawfox - 27.09.19 - 11:29am 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. No he stayed at his friends flat and skipped the insurance on this trip as wernt hotel or package etc |

years ago i used to belong to a sea fishing club. We would travel to various seaside towns and either hire a boat, and go deep sea fishing or we would fish from the shore. We went to a place called silverside up past morcomb one day. We had to walk about half a mile across the sand and mud to get to the water. After about 2 hours a claxon blew. A group of anglers just down the beach grabbed their stuff and started running back to shore. They were shouting at us to get off the sand pretty darn quick. We grabbed our stuff and legged it as fast we could to safety. The tide came in like a tidal wave, it was fast as fk. There were trees and stuff floating in it.
