BulletMagnet Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 If you're after the dilapidated soviet look, may I suggest Pripyat? I've to Pripyat before, with my friend John Price to "take care" of a guy called Zakhaev... Quote
Railgun Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 I went about 9 years ago pal, and had an absolute ball. People where quite friendly once they knew we weren't American, weird that. It's quite quirky, and exactly what it looks like in films. Common sense rules though as far as where you end up. Do your homework before you go and you'll be ok. I was usually in company with 5 other burly blokes mind, so maybe not the best commentator on what areas are ok. Quote
cowie Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 Hi mate, have been 3 times, twice to cayo coco and once to cayo guillarmo, absolutely love the place, a more chilled relaxed holiday you will be pushed to find anywhere.Really depends on what you want to do with your time-for me it was pretty much all about the fishing, so these two places ticked all the boxes, history, well got to be mainland, lots go to varadero and then head on excursions to havana. The Cuban people,imo, are the friendliest,nicest folk I have met,cannot do enough for you.What time of year are you thinking of mate,I preferrred from may through till july,again, best of the fishing and calmest weather.Give me a shout and will help any way i can Should read your post properly........... can't comment on november mate as never been that time...soz Quote
nicon2k Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 I am going to the first time in November. A bit late, i know. But will let you know how I got on when i get back. Quote
