Just in transit now coming back from Indonesia 
and the other smaller islands. Greatest location I’ve been to without a shadow of doubt, and the people are the sweetest.

Staying Riga or travelling about? It’s a fantastic country.

So in Corfu. Nice but a few places have balked at VISA cards. They’ve still worked but Chip and Pin, having a Mastercard alternative is worth it.

Weird, anywhere I’ve been in Greece, both Visa and MC are accepted (there is never any distinction made).
I am originally from there, and I try to go at least once a year in the summer, just as I am doing this year. I have not explored much of it, so this year I think we will drive around Peloponnisos (the southern bit that looks almost detached on the map) for about a week, but most of the time will be spent at beaches in southern Attica.

Well that’s what I was expecting. And to be fair 8/10 times I’ve used the HSBC Global Money card (VISA) no problem.
But, at least twice it’s not worked without having to do chip and pin. In the supermarket today the terminal “crashed” when I used contactless and I had to wait for it to reboot.
Greece is notorious for the old “sorry the POS broke can you pay cash” tax evasion scam.
This has been cracked down on hard though for the past few years so not a lot of merchants try it on any more. Some still do if they think you won’t know the current legislation, which states the merchant must have a working POS to accept card payments at all times.

Almost at the end of a 5-day break on a rather luxurious boat on Lake Windermere. Very chilled.
When the UK weather is good, there’s nowhere better.

Thought I’d add here for anyone that had saw the original picture in the other thread, wouldve liked to share a video but the forum doesnt accept HEVC codecs and I’m not that technically tuned to convert it.
Unfortunately (or fortunately?) no feet in any of my images unlike @davidwalton

Although technically the pose was ‘feet up’ to show & inspire laziness

Can wholeheartedly recommend Hanko in Finland for a holiday. Great beaches, forests, walks, food, cycling.

You could do Dubrovnik, Split, Zadar, Zagreb depending on how much time/money you have. There are frequent FlixBus services between all the important places in Croatia. Can highly recommend it.

Can’t speak for the rest of Croatia, but you’ll love Dubrovnik’s old city and have few problems communicating there. 
Where did you go?
Sounds fantastic! All wonderful places.
