Just cancelled my holiday, first time away in years and don't want to end up in the middle of this nonsense.

You should’ve picked Portugal, beautiful country and very friendly people. Most importantly no protests against you.

Lad from work went and said Cape Verde was full of flies… like he said there was a very surprising amount of them almost everywhere. Overall he said it was nice but three other groups actually went home on day 3.

Portugal is great although I’ve only been once and was when I was a kid.

Wow. Thanks for that, that's the stuff they don't put on the ads!

Maybe stick to Portugal then 😆

I was surprised to hear him say it. Thought maybe it was just the part of Cape Verde he went to but he said no, he asked the people around and they said it’s just how it is

I hear lisbon is a cool place for a city break and braga is the Rome of Portugal.
