Literally one day back from a last minute booking all inclusive holiday on Rhodes.
Absolutely jam packed with elderly from many nations with walkers, sticks, etc.
People with poor mobility love all inclusive. All food and drink within easy hobbling distance of their room. Entertainment on every night.

I had an automatic back in the 1990s I was warned they were less fuel efficienct and expensive if they went wrong. Mine did thousands of miles reliably even back then. Lots of motorway driving. I loved it. Moved back to manuals for years then got an automatic a couple of years back. I won't be buying another manual. They've come on leaps and bounds.
