Crypto prices are surging after Donald Trump announced a ceasefire between Israel and Iran in the Middle East. Solana is a top gainer with an 8% pump.
It now trades at $145 and appears well on track to take local highs in the days ahead.
However, as the Solana price surges on renewed investor confidence, the newly launched Solana layer 2 blockchain, Solaxy ($SOLX), has gained 60% in the past 24 hours following its DEX launch on Uniswap and Raydium.
According to CoinMarketCap data, presale profit-taking ensued once $SOLX hit the open market on Monday, causing an initial crash to lows of $0.00059. However, the selling has stopped, and bulls have taken charge, with the $SOLX price rallying to a current valuation of $0.0011.
Solaxy is strategically positioned to extend Solana’s ecosystem with layer 2 scaling, removing the network’s long-standing congestion issue and replacing it with blistering speeds, lower fees, and reliability.
Investors looking to capitalize on Solana’s growth appear to be buying Solaxy in order to generate bigger gains. While Solana is worth $76 billion, Solaxy’s market cap is just $124 million, offering huge upside potential, especially since it solves a crucial ecosystem issue.
Solana’s rapid surge as geopolitical tensions soften
There has been an incredible vibe shift in the crypto market over the past 48 hours.
Chatter of ‘World War 3’ worryingly circulated social media sites as the United States and Israel traded airstrikes with Iran over the weekend and Monday. However, US President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire on his social media site Truth Social, and then posted an update revealing that it is “now in effect.”
As a result, investors have begun retaking risk positions in the crypto market. Bitcoin is up 3.3% today, Ethereum is up 6%, and Solana is up 8%.
Solana has also seen a 28% rise in 24-hour trading volume, taking its total amount to $5.88 billion today.
Meanwhile, the Solana ecosystem is also catching fire.
Solaxy is a clear example of that, having gained a whopping 50% today.
Solaxy leads crypto gainers – but there’s room for more big gains
After raising $58 million to become the largest Solana presale in history, Solaxy is living up to expectations on its decentralized exchange (DEX) debut.
With a 60% pump over the past 24 hours, it’s one of the biggest gainers across all altcoins as seen on CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko.
Furthermore, its trading volume is also surging, having increased from $2 million 16 hours ago to over $6 million at press time.
As word spreads about Solaxy’s exchange listing, new investors are scrambling to buy. It’s important to note that Solaxy currently remains at a substantial discount compared to the price at which several top analysts anticipate it trading this cycle.
Something else worth noting is that Solaxy has locked $1.6 million in liquidity until June 2026. This doesn’t just ensure seamless buying and selling; it reflects Solaxy’s long-term approach and signals that the team isn’t going anywhere.
And the chart is starting to reflect that – $SOLX has broken all key resistance and now has room for an 59% uptick to the next important price point.
Solaxy mainnet launch and “massive exchanges” coming soon
Strap in because Solaxy’s gains may just be getting started.
The project aims to address Solana’s congestion issue by utilizing off-chain computation and transaction bundling technology, validating transactions on its layer 2 in batches and then reporting back to Solana for finality.
Its goal is to achieve 10,000 transactions per second (TPS), which will make it significantly faster than Solana, capable of 6,500 TPS.
The test network is now live, allowing developers to begin building Solaxy apps. The team has confirmed that the main network will go live on July 7. Other key launches include Solaxy’s meme coin launchpad Igniter Protocol and its native DEX Neptoon.
The team has also promised that Solaxy will list on “massive exchanges.” And although they have yet to confirm which ones, its ambitious use case, ties to Solana, and strong DEX debut all indicate that top tier 1 platforms will be interested.
There is no doubt that listings on such exchanges, coupled with the launch of major ecosystem features, will contribute to a strong uptrend continuation for Solaxy in the months ahead.
$SOLX is currently available on the Ethereum and Solana networks, so investors can purchase it from Uniswap or Raydium.
Holders can also transfer their tokens between networks using the Solaxy bridge.
You can also follow the project on X or join its Telegram for the latest news and updates. Alternatively, visit its website to learn more or stake $SOLX.

One man who bought breakfast, lunch and dinner in Bangkok, Thailand admitted he was stunned by the price of it all. He went online to talk about his travel experience

One man who went to get breakfast, lunch and dinner in Thailand admitted he couldn’t believe the price of it all. Ryan Losasso is one half of the popular award-winning TikTok travel content creation duo ‘Live The Dash’ alongside Jade Beaty.
He went out into the streets of Bangkok, Thailand’s capital city to buy his three meals on a budget. Bangkok is known for its bustling street life, including street food and markets. One of the most famous street food dishes is pad Thai, a classic stir-fried noodle dish with shrimp, egg and peanuts. Ryan took his TikTok viewers along with him as he explored the Thai food scene and couldn’t believe the price of his breakfast, lunch and dinner.
To start his culinary journey the travel influencer went to Siam House Cafe where he opted for a traditional Thai breakfast that was made up of egg, pork meat and toast for just £1.50.
Taking a bite of his meal, he said “mmm” and reported that his breakfast was a “roaring success.”
Next he moved onto lunch where he picked up a ham and cheese toastie and a bottle of water from 7-Eleven for £1.05.
Ryan continued: “I do not have much left for dinner but let’s see what we can do.” He “scoured Bangkok’s streets” for an affordable dish and spotted Hai Som Tam Convent where he tucked into a pad Thai for £2.30.
In total Ryan’s breakfast, lunch and dinner from Bangkok cost him a mere £4.85. Bangkok is a foodie paradise as it offers a “mix of delicious street food, budget-friendly restaurants and hidden gems serving world-class Thai cuisine”, according to H and L Blogs.
The travel blog website claims that Bangkok’s “cheap eats are everywhere”, such as wok-fried noodles in Chinatown or “authentic local curries served for just a few Baht in local markets.”
One Thai Baht is equal to 0.023 Great British Pounds so it is very easy to eat out on a budget in Bangkok.

H and L Blogs has listed some of the best budget food spots in Thailand’s capital city, including Yaowarat (Chinatown), best for street food like noodles and seafood, Or Tor Kor Market for fresh Thai ingredients and local dishes and Soi 38 Sukhumvit, a classic Bangkok night market with affordable meals.
Trip Savvy states that the average cost of a basic Thai meal in a restaurant is 90 to 150 Baht (£2.02 to £3.37) and pad Thai noodles with chicken or tofu can be found at street carts and from simple restaurants for 35 to 40 Baht (£0.35 to £0.90).
It adds that the average cost for pad Thai in tourist places is around 50 Baht (£1.12) per plate.
Ryan’s TikTok video showcasing how cheap it is to eat out in Bangkok has garnered thousands of views and likes and more than 100 comments.
One user simply said: “Thailand is very affordable.” While another exclaimed: “That pad Thai is a bargain!” A third described the cost of Ryan’s three meals as “so cheap.”
Stocks rallied on Tuesday after US President Trump said that a “complete and total ceasefire” between Iran and Israel would take effect in the coming hours.
Iran’s foreign minister denied that an official ceasefire agreement had been reached, but noted that Tehran would not continue its attacks as long as Israel halted its “aggression”. At the time of writing, Israel had yet to comment.
The truce, which Trump is labelling the end of the “12-day war”, came after Iran attacked a US base in Qatar on Monday, retaliating against the US bombing of its nuclear sites over the weekend.
In response to Tuesday’s development, oil prices dropped as fears over a blockage to the Strait of Hormuz subsided.
About 20% of global oil and gas flows through this narrow shipping lane in the Gulf.
Brent crude, the international standard, dropped 2.92% to $69.39, while WTI dropped 3.18% to $66.35.
Last week, Brent reached over $78 a barrel, a level not seen since the start of this year.
Looking to the US, S&P 500 futures rose 0.58% to 6,112.00 on Monday, while Dow Jones futures increased 0.51% to 43,118.00.
Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 jumped 0.89% to 8,550.10, South Korea’s Kospi rose 2.75% to 3,097.28, and the Shanghai Composite index climbed 1.07% to 3,417.89.
Hong Kong’s Hang Seng rose 2% to 24,162.70 and the Nikkei 225 increased 1.16% to 38,796.39.
The US Dollar Index slipped by 0.32% to 98.10. The euro gained 0.25% against the dollar while the yen dropped 0.48% in comparison to the greenback.
Economists had suggested that persistent threats to oil would increase the value of the US dollar and hurt other currencies such as the euro, notably as the US economy is more energy independent.
Greg Hirt, chief investment officer with Allianz Global Investors, told Euronews earlier this week that although the dollar may see a short lift on the Iran-Israel conflict, “structural issues around a twin deficit and the Trump administration’s volatile handling of tariffs should continue to weigh on an overvalued US dollar”.
Harry is known for sharing travel content online, but he recently turned his attention to fish and chips. He was left floored by the price of a meal in Benidorm recently

A man bought fish and chips when he was exploring Benidorm, but was left totally floored by the price. Harry, who often shares his adventures in Spain online, is known for making travel content, and he recently decided to sample fish and chips at the popular holiday resort.
Known as HarryTokky on TikTok, he said he may have sampled the “best” fish and chips he’s tried in Benidorm so far, and he found them at Ray’s Chippy 2. He raved about the recent meal he had at the restaurant, and shared his thoughts with his followers; however, he was left rather astounded by the price.
In the clip, he admitted he’s been told it was the “best chippy” in town, so he decided to give it a try. With many people opting to sample fish and chips when they visit Benidorm, he thought it was important to sample what’s on offer.
He opted for a small cod and chips, as well as curry sauce and a soft drink. When he was handed the food, he admitted it looked “absolutely amazing.”
Harry said: “We’ve got the small cod and chips, we’ve got the gravy as well. No, we’ve got the curry sauce, my apologies. Let’s get plenty of salt on there.
“Oh the batter is incredible, super crunchy. Beautiful, beautiful. Honestly, it’s that hot, I cannot even eat it. I’m going to have to wait a few minutes for it to cool down but, honestly, this is so tasty.
“I mean, if you are coming to Benidorm, you’ve got to check this place out. It’s incredible. Right guys, I have just finished my meal, and I have no other words other than exceptional.”

When he was handed the bill, he told viewers the meal came to €13.65. When converted, this equates to around £11.68, and Harry thought it was an “absolute bargain.”
He signs off the video by decribing the eatery as a “secret hidden gem”, and he spoke highly of how good the food was. People were quick to comment and share their thoughts after he posted the video.
One said: “Was there two weeks ago – best chippy in Benidorm.” Another added: “It looks lovely – can’t wait to try it.”
A third replied: “I’ll check it out when I’m over in September. I’ve heard it’s the best in Beni.” Meanwhile, a fourth also commented: “I was there last week – spot on and great price too.”
Others were also quick to recommend other places to get fish and chips in the area that are also highly rated. Some examples included Dave’s Chippy, Planet Benidorm and John and Joseph’s, among others.
To put the price into perspective, it’s reported the average price for a regular portion of fish and chips in the UK comes in at around £9.88. Prices can vary significantly though, with London being known for offering the most expensive price at £22.50 for a larger portion.
Meanwhile, in West Yorkshire, it’s said you may be able to snap up the much-loved meal for as little as £6.70 for a smaller portion. However, portion sizes also vary greatly, as some shops can serve a regular fish up to 12oz and chips up to 20oz.
If you didn’t know, the price of cod and haddock has rocketed by 75% in the past year as a result of supply chain disruptions and global factors like the Ukraine war. While the price rise could hit the pockets of punters, it appears Brits still love tucking into fish and chips.
According to average prices, a classic cod and chips will cost you around £10.92. Meanwhile, the average price of haddock and chips is slightly higher at £11.13.
Smaller meal portions tend to come in between £5 to £8, while larger portions can set you back around £11. If it’s high end fish and chips you’re after, the price can vary from anything to £25 to £80.
Pepe has dipped 3% today and 20% this week. Things aren’t looking great for the frog-themed meme coin, but a new alternative called Snorter ($SNORT) is gaining real traction.
Unlike Pepe, Snorter is built on real utility. It offers a multichain trading bot that helps users identify promising trading opportunities on autopilot. The chains it supports are Solana, Ethereum, Base, Polygon, and BSC.
The project is undergoing a presale and has raised over $1 million in its opening three weeks, showing considerable demand among investors.
Currently, traders can buy $SNORT at a discounted price of $0.0955, but this will increase as the presale advances. The next uptick will occur in just one day.
Pepe folds to market-wide bearish momentum
Down 20% this week, Pepe is now teetering on a crucial support level of $0.00001. If it falls below this level, things could get ugly.
Pepe’s bearish momentum is due to a broader market selloff, with Bitcoin down 4.1%, and Ethereum down 8.5% this week.
This is due to rising tensions in the Middle East, with escalations in the Iran-Israel conflict and U.S. President Donald Trump insinuated that the U.S. may increase its involvement.
But despite all that, BlackRock continues to buy Bitcoin via its IBIT Bitcoin ETF – a clear sign that smart money anticipates a crypto market recovery.
It made an additional $412 million buy on Tuesday, marking the sixth consecutive day of capital inflows.
But while most cryptos are down this week, Snorter is experiencing a notable surge in buys. Its presale raise has surged around $400K in the past week, going from $600K to over $1 million.
Its strength at a time when the broader market is struggling suggests that it could see huge gains once things start to recover.
Snorter is the new bot that can find 1,000x opportunities
Snorter isn’t just a meme coin; it’s a next generation trading bot that will help users find opportunities in the fast piece meme coin sector.
Thousands of new cryptocurrencies launch every day, so finding ones with the most potential is far from easy. In fact, without insider knowledge or advanced tooling, it’s almost impossible.
Snorter offers a range of innovative features that make monitoring the market and making trades much easier.
It has an automated sniping feature which allows users to input trading parameters and then the bot automatically executes on said criteria.
Another important feature is copy trading, enabling users to mimic the moves of the most profitable on-chain wallets.
But Snorter isn’t just about catching opportunities; it’s about protecting against losses.
The Snorter app has a rug pull detection feature that has caught 85% of scam tokens in its beta testing phase. And it also has a dynamic stop loss feature so users can automatically close positions if they don’t go their way, minimizing damage.
It’s a setup that could help users find the next 1,000x trade while executing proper risk management.
As a result, expectations are high about how far Snorter could go. For example, the Cryptonews YouTube channel said $SNORT could give 100x gains.
Investors could potentially earn even more from the project thanks to its staking mechanism which is live in the presale and offering a 283% APY. However, this will decrease as the staking pool grows.
Just 1 day until $SNORT presale price increases
With presale price increases taking place throughout the campaign, those seeking to buy $SNORT shouldn’t wait to get involved.
Pepe and many other cryptocurrencies are down this week, but BlackRock’s continued Bitcoin interest suggests a swift recovery may be on the horizon. The fact that Snorter has pushed forth unfazed by external conditions indicates that it could be among the biggest winners as prices regain strength.

Pepe is the most popular meme coin to launch this cycle, yet it has declined 55% in the past six months.
Pepe price predictions point to brighter times ahead, but will new alternatives like Snorter outperform it?
BlackRock’s $ETH Appetite Could Bolster Pepe Price
As the top Ethereum-based meme coin by trading volume, Pepe acts as a beta proxy on the performance of Ethereum. It mimics $ETH’s price moves but with greater volatility.
While Ethereum has decreased 32% since December, Pepe is down almost double that.
Obviously, this is bad news in bearish periods, but good news in bullish ones. So, are we heading into a bullish or bearish period for Ethereum?
The easiest way to determine that is by watching what smart money is doing. Based on smart money actions, it appears that Ethereum is poised for a boom.
Arkham Intelligence noted that BlackRock has been purchasing Ethereum every day for over two weeks through its spot Ethereum ETF.
BLACKROCK HAS BOUGHT ETHEREUM FOR 2 WEEKS STRAIGHT
BlackRock has purchased a total of $570M ETH in the past 2 weeks.
Meanwhile, analyst Mister Crypto noticed a “money rotation” from Bitcoin to Ethereum.
The Bitcoin price is largely influenced by deep-pocketed whales, so the fact that Ethereum is outperforming Bitcoin is another indication that smart money is optimistic on $ETH right now.
Crypto whales like BlackRock have the resources to predict market moves more accurately. Their rising interest in $ETH signifies that the asset could begin outperforming the market, and if that happens, it means Pepe is poised for substantial returns.
Top Trader Tips Pepe to Flip Dogecoin
As to how far Pepe could go, leading analysts believe it’s on track to smash its current all-time high (ATH).
According to prominent analyst Lyx (27K X followers), Pepe is poised for an uptrend to a $70 billion market capitalization, representing a 13.3x increase from its current valuation. That would take its price to $0.000165319.
Lyx suggests that Pepe has been in a “long consolidation,” and that this was “necessary in order to flip Dogecoin.”
Currently, Dogecoin holds a $28 billion market cap, so Pepe would far surpass it if it reaches the forecasted price tag.
While not quite as optimistic, Whale Insider suggests that Pepe is primed for a breakout to a $25 billion market cap, which would take its price to $0.0000593.
The analyst suggests that it’s nearing “an imminent breakout” with the $25 billion price target based on historical chart patterns.
With smart money showing interest in Ethereum, and the Pepe price chart showing signs of a breakout, it appears that everything is in place for its price to rally in the weeks ahead.
Indeed, the $25 billion market cap target is more achievable, but it’s certainly not impossible for Pepe to hit $70 billion this year.
It’s not just the most popular meme coin on Ethereum; Pepe is also the largest meme coin to launch this cycle. New liquidity that enters the meme coin market may therefore favor Pepe over Dogecoin due to its novelty and freshness.
But while Pepe is poised for gains, it’s no secret that newer under-the-radar projects can outperform. This comes back to novelty and also their lower valuations.
And right now, analysts are tipping Snorter as one project that could outpace majors like Pepe and Dogecoin.
New Trading Bot Snorter Tipped For 100X ROI as Presale Crosses $650K
Snorter isn’t your average meme coin; it’s a multichain trading bot with memetic branding.
The project is raising funds for development via a token presale, in which it has raised $650K so far.
Snorter offers the most competitive trading fees on the market at just 0.85%. Bonk Bot, Maestro, Banana Gun, and the rest charge 1%. Snorter’s lower fees are putting money into the pockets of its users.
But that’s not the only benefit. The Snorter bot boasts several powerful features. These include automated token sniping, copy trading, rug-pull detection, and dynamic stop-losses.
It’s built on the Telegram app and also offers advanced charting directly from the terminal. On-chain trading has never been easier.
The project is undergoing a presale and has raised $650K so far. This has grabbed the attention of top traders. For instance, Jacob Bury told 99Bitcoins’ 700K YouTube subscribers that $SNORT is “the best crypto to buy now” and that it holds 100x potential.
The $SNORT token offers access to governance, staking, and trading fee discounts.
With a promising use case, analyst support, and innate token utility, Snorter looks primed to explode in the months ahead.

A woman bought a McDonald’s meal while she was on holiday in Turkey but she was totally floored by price. She couldn’t believe how much money the meal set her back

A woman who jetted off to Turkey on holiday was left floored when she bought a McDonald’s meal. The holidaymaker, known as Emzie, said she was gobsmacked when she was handed the bill after she snapped up a meal at the airport.
She said the price of a McDonald’s meal is “ridiculous” at Antalya Airport, as it was “nothing speical” when compared to offerings at UK stores. Emzie posted about the incident on TikTok as she couldn’t believe how much money it cost her to purchase a few burgers, and many people agreed that the prices seemed to be more expensive than you’d expect.
In the clip, she said: “What can I say? McDonald’s at Antalya Airport – crazy prices. They want €20, which is roughly about £18, for a Big Mac meal – that’s a regular size.
“We got two triple cheese burgers, a medium Coke and a medium Fanta, and in total in English that was £37.00. There’s nothing special about it.”

Emzie said she didn’t think the meal was worth the hefty price tag, and people shared their personal views in the comments too. Many couldn’t believe their eyes after they saw the receipt, and the video prompted hundreds to comment.
One person said: “We paid £94.” Another wrote: “I spent €85 there for me and my two kids.”
A third also replied: “Omg – they are disgusting prices.” Meanwhile, a fourth also commented: “How can anyone afford to pay that or want to pay that? It’s actually insane.”
However, despite people sharing similar experiences, others were quick to point out that they didn’t think she should have bought the food if she considered it too expensive.
Someone else chimed in with: “Can’t buy it and the complain. You saw the prices before buying.” Another added: “Just don’t buy them?”
One more also wrote: “Don’t buy it then. Eat before you leave the hotel. Most drivers in Turkey stop on the way to the airport at a diner or shop.”
Even though people had varied views, some have been raisng concerns about rising prices in Turkey lately. There are reasons why inflation has hit the popular holiday destination, according to reports.
Why is Turkey becoming so expensive?
There are a few reasons why prices are said to have shot up in Turkey. Statista shared some advice.
The website reads: “Domestic producer price indices have been continuously rising, which has directly resulted in a price increase in all consumer goods and services. Accordingly, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) in all commodity groups increased extremely since 2022.
“In the same year, the food and non-alcoholic beverages category had one of the highest inflation rates in the CPI. This particularly affected Turkish consumers, as these products accounted for the highest share of household expenditure in 2023.
“Since 2020, food prices have increased significantly around the world, and Turkey is no exception. Although inflation has started to slow down recently, food prices in Turkey continue to go up steadily, increasing by 48.6 percent in November 2024 compared to the same month in the previous year.
“It is not surprising that food inflation has not simmered down, as the producer price index (PPI) of agricultural products followed a constant increasing trend in the country over the past few years.”
However, it’s noted the country is also taking steps to help boost tourism, including addressing rising prices, making tourist offerings more diverse and investing in infrastructure. The Government is said to be working to reduce inflation, and some people are also promoting niche tourism areas like spas and health care.
In every round of the competition, the match-ups are played as one-off doubles matches, and Clayton believes his and Price’s rugby experiences gives them an edge.
“We go out as a team, and I think the rugby background helps,” said Clayton.
“We’ve played in team games before, and I know rugby is completely different to darts, but it is the team mentality.
“We believe in each other and you have to believe in your team-mate.”
While both Clayton and Price have Welsh aspects to their standard darts jersey, ‘The Ferret’ says there is something special about representing the country at the World Cup.
“There’s no better feeling than representing Wales,” added Clayton.
“Being a Welshman, I’m so proud when I put that jersey on.
“No matter what sport you play, if you can represent your country there is no better feeling.”

How to bag a bargain
SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain…
Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with.
Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks.
Sales are when you can pick up a real steal.
Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on.
Sign up to mailing lists and you’ll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.
When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use vouchercodes.co.uk and myvouchercodes.co.uk are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.
Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. Trolley.co.uk app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping.
Bargain hunters can also use B&M’s scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you’ll get some of your money back or a discount on the item.
When the Spa at Séc-he opened its doors in Palm Springs in 2023, it welcomed guests to a 73,000-square-foot facility with mineral-rich bathing waters, resort-style pools, salt caves, steam rooms and a slew of indulgent amenities, all without requiring booking a treatment.
Of course, massages, facials and the like are available, but a major draw of visiting Séc-he is simply to spend the day cocooned within its grounds.
The spa isn’t alone in selling day passes to visitors. North of Palm Springs in Desert Hot Springs, many hotels pump mineral waters from the ground into oasis-like enclaves where spa-goers can soak for the day without staying overnight.

And further south in Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert and Indian Wells, some of the splashiest resorts in the valley offer day pass admission to deeply impressive spas. Think aromatherapy showers, menthol-infused dry saunas, zero-gravity lounge chairs and secluded pools all for a fraction of the price of an all-too-short 50-minute treatment.
As a Coachella Valley resident, I’ve spent the day at many spas in the area. Most sell passes on the third-party website ResortPass, while a few are available to purchase directly. They range in price from $54 to $155 (inclusive of ResortPass fees, where applicable) and some include full use of the resort’s pools and amenities for exceptional value.
Just know that day passes are generally limited in quantity to save space for guests booking treatments and to avoid crowding, so if you have a specific date in mind, book far in advance. Some properties also enact time limits, have age requirements and may or may not include parking or food for purchase. And if you’re a local, speak up. Many spas grant discounts to those residing within the valley.
I’ve soaked, steamed, swam and relaxed as hard as humanly possible at every property listed below. If all you have is one day to chill and don’t want to fork over hundreds of dollars for a treatment that never seems long enough, these spas will leave you feeling nearly as blissful as if you had. Just plan to clear your entire day. Two, three, four hours — at all of these properties, I promise you it won’t be enough.

Gerwyn Price reveals darts rival who rattled him most and it led to awkward moment on stage
The Iceman continued: “I would never give up totally.
“But the Pro Tours and Europeans, depending on how many it’s going to be at that time, because it’s getting more and more every year, but I’ll stop doing those.
“I would never give my Tour Card up. I’d still do events and if they invite me to the Premier League and World Series, I’ll still do them.
“But none of the lower events and just stop the travelling.”
Darts’ hectic pro schedule has become a major talking point among the sport’s elite.
Nathan Aspinall recently branded the calendar “absolutely obscene”.
The Asp fumed: “For us to take a weekend off, I have to pull out events.

Aldi’s pizza cooked in 12 minutes
It cooked nicely in 12 minutes and was big enough to feed four people.
The base was deliciously crispy and the cheese and tomato topping tasted authentically Italian.
I haven’t tried this flavour from Aldi before, but absolutely will in the future – my winner – and less than half the price of Pizza Express, that’s dinner sorted.

Asda’a pizza offered good value for money
It cooked well in just over 12 minutes and the generous size means it would satisfy four people, especially if you add a couple of sides.
The topping was plentiful and the fact that you’re getting a lot of pizza for your money means that this is a good staple for a family if you’re unsure what to serve up for dinner.

CHOC-lovers are fuming after Cadbury reduced the size of its Dairy Milk Little Bars multipacks by a third.
New packs of four are being sold for £1.40, even though packs of six cost the same last month.

Choc-lovers are fuming after Cadbury reduced the size of its Dairy Milk Little Bars multipacks by a third
The change has been blasted by shoppers, including many parents who bought them as kids’ snacks.
One fumed on the Tesco website: “Advertised as new, only thing new is you get 4 instead of 6!! For the same price. Disgusting!”
A second said: “Stop reducing how much is in the packet and charging the same price!!!”
A third added: “Was a six pack now a four pack for the same price, a third less chocolate, unacceptable shrinkflation.”

It comes after Cadbury reduced packs of Freddos from five to four and Cadbury Dairy Milk multipacks were cut from nine bars to seven.
Cadbury said: “We understand the economic pressures that consumers continue to face and any changes to our product sizes is a last resort for our business.
“However, as a food producer, we are continuing to experience significantly higher input costs across our supply chain, with ingredients such as cocoa and dairy, which are widely used in our products, costing far more than they have done previously.
“Meanwhile, other costs like energy and transport, also remain high. This means that our products continue to be much more expensive to make and while we have absorbed these costs where possible, we still face considerable challenges
“As a result of this difficult environment, we have had to make the decision to slightly reduce the weight of our Cadbury Dairy Milk Little Bars multipacks so that we can continue to provide consumers with the brands they love, without compromising on the great taste and quality they expect.”
Dan Coatsworth, analyst at the investment firm AJ Bell, explained: “The cost of producing chocolate has gone up a lot in recent years, driving up prices and prompting firms to make products smaller.
We’ve outdone ourselves with this one’ say Cadbury Ireland as they reveal new limited edition bar ‘coming soon
“When production costs rocket, companies only have a limited range of options.
“They can pass on the costs to the customer through higher prices, which is difficult with a product like chocolate where people are often looking for a cheap treat.
“Another option is to reduce the size of the product in order to reduce the manufacturing cost for each bar of chocolate. Or they can try a combination of the two.
“As a last resort, companies may have to tolerate lower profit margins, especially if consumers refuse to tolerate price rises and stop buying.”
The British Retail Consortium said global cocoa prices are around three times higher than in 2022, after being badly affected by poor harvests in parts of Africa.
A British man recently visited Benidorm and ordered a pint at a well-known bar. He was floored when he was told the price of the tipple, and what it would set him back

A British man ordered a pint in Benidorm but was left totally floored by the price. The man, who appears to be no stranger to Spain, was taken aback when he was told how much a drink would set him back at the popular holiday hotspot.
Known as the Benidorm Fanatic to his TikTok followers, he told people he headed to Uncle Ron’s bar, which is said to be “famous” for its pints, notable for how cheap they’re sold for. As he ventured to the venue, he was left astoudned at the price list, as he seriously got a lot for his money.
In the clip, he said: “I tell you what, I believe it’s actually a very, very nice pint as well, so it comes to the equivalent of about 84p in British money. Let’s go and try it out, shall we? Let’s give it a try.”
After he made his way to the bar, he added: “So there you go, I’ll give you a euro, a €1 pint, and I’ll take that. Let’s try this €1 pint. Look at that – a nice, clean, cold pint. It’s got a nice, good head on it – let’s try it.
“That is actually one of the best pints I’ve had in one of the popular bars. That is actually one of the best pints I’ve had in Benidorm to be honest with you. €1, I’ll drink them all day.”

Since he shared the video, many people have viewed it, and they were quick to comment too. They shared their thoughts, and some posted their own Benidorm stories.
One said: “Wow.” Another shared: “I was there last week.”
A third replied: “Lovely pint. Had many.” Meanwhile, a fourth also commented: “Bargain.”
If you’ve never heard of Uncle Ron’s before, it’s a popular spot for British tourists in Benidorm. As well as being known for its cheap drinks, it also serves food too.
According to TripAdvisor, the venue serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, and also has 3.8/5 rating on average, according to the review platform. Many people say it’s worth a visit if you’re looking for a reasonable meal and a few drinks while on holiday.
In the review section, one person wrote: “Had a fantastic breakfast at Ron’s today. Lovely English produce. Great service. Brilliant staff.
“A massive group came in, but they were serviced promptly. Don’t know how they manage with so few staff.”
Another said: “Last day we visited for some lunch before heading to airport. Left full, which is always a good thing. In all my times of going here, never left unhappy at the service nor the food – always really good.”
A third replied: “We went many times during our two-week holiday. The staff are friendly and extremely hard working day and night.
“Cheapest drinks you will find in town and food to suit everyone (daily deal only 6 euros). It’s not a stylish 5* restaurant but then you wouldn’t expect it.
“For drinks just go to the bar like a normal bar. Always busy Sunday and Friday, so expect to book if you want a Sunday lunch. Would we go again? Certainly would!”
The Nintendo Switch 2 console has officially been released, as retailers opened their doors at midnight — 9 p.m. here on the West Coast — to welcome early adapters and die-hard fans. It’s the follow-up to Nintendo’s second-bestselling gaming device ever; with sales topping 150 million, the Switch is behind only the handheld Nintendo DS.
Thus, Switch 2 carries expectations.
Though it has a bigger, higher-resolution 1080p screen and more processing power than its predecessor to better run some of today’s most popular games, it’s not a wholesale re-imagining. It looks similar, albeit just a tad larger, and again comes with detachable controllers, which Nintendo dubs “Joy-Con,” only now they are magnetized. Switch owners will feel right at home with the new device.
And judging by lines at retailers yesterday — a social media friend of mine claims to have spent eight hours standing outside a Best Buy to get a Switch 2 on Day One — many have already made the plunge to buy the new console. Nintendo has stated that it expects to sell 15 million new consoles between now and the end of its fiscal year next March.
Yet a new video game console brings with it questions. What is worth playing? Is it easy to upgrade? And will it even be in stock?
Nintendo has stated it believes it has enough consoles to meet demand, but whether there will be shortages after the initial rush remains an unknown. I’m still getting to know my Switch 2, but have spent some time with its showcase game and transferred my data from my prior console, and here are some initial answers to basic queries.
The showcase game for the Nintendo Switch 2 is “Mario Kart World.”
(Nintendo)
There’s only one new marquee game at launch: “Mario Kart World.” How is it?
While it may seem odd to release a new console with only one potential blockbuster title, remember that the most recent game in the series, “Mario Kart 8,” is one of Nintendo’s top-selling games, selling more than 67 million units since its release about a decade ago. Therefore, it’s a pretty safe bet, as it’s a game that works for casual and hardcore players, and has cross-generational appeal. Nintendo has also made “Mario Kart” the centerpiece of its theme park lands, of which there is one here at Universal Studios Hollywood.
And there’s good news: It’s a winner.
While its feel and tone will be instantly familiar, it comes with a couple of new tricks. One of those is a new mode called “Knockout Tour,” in which you’ll need to maintain a certain placement throughout each of the race’s five checkpoints. It’s a fast play style that is constantly upping the tension, which is key for a game in which it’s always possible to go from first to last and vice versa at a moment’s notice. Another new option, and my early favorite, is the “free roam” setting. No racing here, just exploring.
At a preview session earlier this year, some of the most fun I had was when I wasn’t racing and was simply driving my kart off the track to see what hidden surprises awaited me in the world. I came across Toad characters fishing and ramshackle vehicles that encouraged me to follow them. It was play for play’s sake. This morning, I relaxed with coffee while pulling up to a cafe run by Yoshi, and then stumbled across some timed mini-challenges in the world. It adds a surprising sense of depth and presence to Mario’s Mushroom Kingdom.
Short answer: Early impressions are dazzling.
“Nintendo Switch Welcome Tour” is a delightful exploration of the Nintendo Switch 2 featuring a host of mini games.
(Nintendo)
Wait, there’s an add-on game that’s essentially a Switch 2 tutorial? What’s that about?
I was eager to get my hands on “Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour,” a $9.99 title game-as-tutorial in which we control a tiny human avatar who appears to live in a giant Switch 2. Only instead of tech bits, we see a sleek mall-meets-amusement park world full of mini-games designed to showcase various aspects of the Switch 2’s technology — a guessing game centered on frames per second or a dodging challenge that has us using the Joy-Con detachable controllers as mouse-like gadgets. The latter is one of the key differences between the Switch and Switch 2, and will be especially handy in games that require precision.
Some of the other games in “Welcome Tour” are essentially demos. One aims to show off modern television sets with 4K resolution. Another has us adjusting Switch settings to help convey the vibrancy of HDR via animated fireworks. They’re simple, quick ways to get to know new tech, and I had fun with a mini-game that tests out the rumbling of the controllers, challenging us to pinpoint the precise moment the vibrations are at their most intense. They’re good mini-games that won’t last more than a minute or two.
Yet it’s a game designed to teach players about the new fancy game console they just bought, and therefore should come bundled with it. I wonder if I’ll revisit it after my initial week with it.
Short answer: “Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour” is cute but should be free.
The Nintendo Switch 2 looks and feels familiar to the Switch.

How complicated is it to transfer data from my original Switch?
If you’re purchasing a Switch 2 and playing via cartridges rather than downloadable games, you can jump right in. But I’d recommend downloading the system update and transferring your saved game data and as many games as you’d like from your prior Switch. The Switch 2 is largely backward compatible, meaning the vast majority of older titles will work on it (Nintendo is maintaining a list).
While I opted not to download every game from my previous Switch, wanting to save space on the 256 GB internal storage of the new console, I was pleased to see that the more than 50 games I had on my older device were all ready to go. Better yet, this was all relatively simple to accomplish and extremely user intuitive. A QR code will have you log into your Nintendo account, and as long as your older Switch and Switch 2 are in the same room, everything should transfer within a couple hours, depending on how many games you want to port over.
Short answer: Don’t stress.
“Donkey Kong Bananza” is due next month for the Nintendo Switch 2.
(Nintendo)
Eek, the price! Will it increase?
Early headlines regarding the Switch 2 focused on the price. It’s high.
The base system sells for $449.99 and “Mario Kart World” carries a hefty $80 tag, the highest price Nintendo has given a game, and an atypical price for an industry that has long valued non-special editions of games at around $59.99. And just hours after announcing a price and pre-sale date, Nintendo pulled back its pre-order plan, stating that there was uncertainty due “the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions.” President Trump’s trade war remains an evolving situation, but the Japanese tech giant ultimately decided not to increase the price of the system. That being said, Nintendo did up the cost of some of the accessories for the Switch 2.
In recent interviews, Nintendo of America President Doug Bowser said the company would continue to monitor the situation. For now, the price is set, but things seem to always be in flux in our current political climate. Nintendo’s gaming competitor Microsoft recently raised the prices on its Xbox consoles.
Short answer: It remains unknown, but if you’re in the market for a Switch 2, it may be advisable to buy when you can.

So, should I buy it?
This is, of course, the No. 1 question I receive, and I’m being honest when I say it’s difficult to answer. I’ve had a Switch 2 in my home for only half a day, at the time of writing, and while I attended a preview event earlier this year, I still haven’t been able to put it through its paces. Additionally, it’s always difficult to tell someone to drop $500 — $600 or more, if you’re buying some games and a recommended Pro Controller — on a video game console, which is, of course, a luxury item.
That being said, I am a big proponent of the importance of play, and Nintendo tends to get this right. The company’s video game mantra since its Nintendo Entertainment System days has been to show gaming and play as a medium full of possibilities, using world-building, competition and puzzles to enchant. I believe some new additions to “Mario Kart World,” for instance, such as the free roam mode, accomplish this goal. You likely already know if you’re a fan of the worlds Nintendo creates, whether they involve Mario and his brother Luigi or are franchises such as “Zelda” and “Animal Crossing.” And Nintendo isn’t going to abandon its core franchises — a new “Donkey Kong” title arrives in July — and there are some abilities, such as using the detachable controllers as mice, that should add some fun twists to future gameplay.
Short answer: If you have the means, my early impression is that Switch 2 is a worthy successor. That being said, if you’re not a fan of “Mario Kart” or Nintendo’s main franchises, I think you’re safe to wait until there are more games to your liking, as the Switch has a robust catalog and Nintendo is going to continue to support it for the near future.
PUNTERS are convinced they know who Ryan Moore will ride in the Epsom Oaks – after an intriguing price crash came seemingly out of nowhere.
Aidan O’Brien has three in the Friday Classic ahead of Thursday’s declarations.

But just who Moore would choose out of Giselle, Whirl and Minnie Hauk looked anyone’s guess.
Bookies thought they had some inkling as they made Minnie Hauk, who was 8-1 just 48 hours ago, the outsider of the Ballydoyle trio.
But the Cheshire Oaks winner’s price has been smashed into as short as 7-2 following a tidal wave of support.
Punters think her odds crashing – and Giselle and Whirl’s going the opposite way – are a sign Moore has chosen who he will partner, with one proclaiming: “That’s Ryan Moore’s ride.”
Paddy Power’s Paul Binfield said: “The front two in the Oaks market have both been strong today, but particularly Cheshire Oaks heroine Minnie Hauk.
“That support would indicate that punters are pretty sure that of Aidan O’Brien’s three possible protagonists, Ryan Moore has chosen to partner this very talented Frankel filly.”
Whoever Moore rides will have to go some to beat Charlie Appleby’s red-hot Oaks favourite Desert Flower, though.
The 1000 Guineas winner has been obliterated into just 6-5 with some firms.
Legendary jockey Kieran Fallon, who rides out at trainer Charlie Appleby’s Moulton Paddocks yard, said she was a cut above.
And punters think so too, with Desert Flower looking like she could be the shortest-price winner since O’Brien’s 11-10 Love in 2020.

In a post on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on the social media site, they shared a snap of the purchases and reveal the discount they got at the till.
She said: “Asda often has an alcohol offer on: buy six bottles and save 25%.
“The offer includes selected bottles with red, white and rose options, as well as prosecco. There are usually lots of popular bottles included, for example, Oyster Bay Hawkes Bay Merlot, Oyster Bay Hawkes Bay Merlot and Freixenet Prosecco D.O.C.
“Obviously, the more expensive the bottles you choose, the more you save.”
Join Facebook groups
The savvy saver also recommends that fans of Asda join Facebook groups to keep in the know about the latest bargains in-store.
Eilish said: “I recommend joining the Latest Deals Facebook Group to find out about the latest deals and new launches in store.
“Every day, more than 250,000 deal hunters share their latest bargain finds and new releases.
“For example, recently a member shared a picture of Asda’s new Barbie range spotted in store.
“Another member shared the bargain outdoor plants she picked up, including roses for 47p, blackcurrant bushes for 14p and topiary trees for 14p.”
“It is in our store as well, it’s all deleted lines,” someone else said.
“They went down last week at my store,” another added.
“The colleagues had most of them so might be the same in other stores.
“Doesn’t get a chance to go out on the shop floor!”
It feels like something big is brewing in the Pepe world right now. Donald Trump just posted a Pepe meme on his social media site, Truth Social. Could it be that the US president is planning a market-moving Pepe buy?
Pepe’s recent growth has also seen interest in the MIND of Pepe presale grow significantly. This AI meme coin has raised over $11 million and will list on exchanges imminently, with just 24 hours to go in the presale.
Donald Trump used the Pepe meme in his 2016 presidential campaign, then it became a hate symbol. That’s the background that mainstream media is using to frame Trump’s recent post.
They’re pointing to certain “alt-right” groups adopting the Pepe meme, only later acknowledging that it depends on the context. For crypto users, and likely for Trump, Pepe is a symbol of community, resistance, and laughter, not hate.
Trump posted on Truth Social a picture of him walking in the street with Pepe the Frog watching from on a sidewalk a few metres behind. It was captioned “HE’S ON A MISSION FROM GOD,” a reference to a famous line from 1980s movie The Blues Brothers.
While media outlets attempted to portray the post negatively, the fact that the US president is posting about Pepe at all is a huge win for the meme coin community.
Moreover, the media headlines often mention the post’s positive impact on Pepe coin’s price. This increases the project’s visibility and could attract more investors, regardless of the seemingly biased headlines.
Trump posted the meme at a time when the crypto market was taking a breather, so Pepe’s gains were marginal. But a few weeks earlier, it might have sent the price skyrocketing.
However, the stunt signals that Trump may, once again, begin using Pepe in his public communication efforts, and that’d be a big tailwind for $PEPE to rally.
An even better outcome would be that Trump buys Pepe. It wouldn’t be out of character. It’s no secret that Trump launched his own meme coin OFFICIAL TRUMP this year, but most people are unaware that Trump-backed World Liberty Financial just bought a meme coin called BUILDon this week. Could Pepe be next on the project’s shopping list?
Either way, Pepe’s future looks bright. But how far can it go in the months ahead?
Analyst Says Pepe Poised to Hit $0.00005 by September
Besides project-specific factors, the broader crypto market’s current outlook paints an exciting picture for Pepe.
Analysts anticipate Ethereum will begin outperforming Bitcoin in the weeks ahead, which could help the entire altcoin market to also outperform. Macroeconomic factors, such as falling inflation in the US and a rising global M2 supply, coupled with increased crypto interest from nation-states ranging from the US to Kazakhstan, also indicate a promising market outlook.
With that, we expect Pepe to maintain its current higher-time-frame uptrend in the coming months. As to how far it could go, analyst Pinnacle Crypto suggests it could hit $0.000017 in the coming days.
PEPE has broken out of a descending triangle after consistently holding a strong ascending support trendline. Price is now retesting the breakout zone, which could lead to a potential bullish continuation. Support 50 EMA and 200 EMA
Looking further ahead, Professor Moriarty predicts that Pepe could veer to new highs by September, peaking at $0.00005. This would result in a market cap of just over $20 billion.
Elon Musk pushed Dogecoin to an $80 billion market cap in 2021, so there’s every chance the US president takes Pepe to $20 billion this cycle.
$PEPE has been quietly building momentum on the weekly chart
After months of respecting a steady uptrend, price recently launched off that support and is now sitting right above a key zone it struggled with before
— Professor Moriarty (@Moriarty_web3) May 21, 2025
But as Pepe shows potential, smart investors are seeking related tokens which could ride the bullish wave but provide more gains. One of the most popular alternatives currently available is MIND of Pepe, an AI agent that’s undergoing a blistering hot presale.
MIND of Pepe Tipped For 10x Gain as Presale Enters Final Day
MIND of Pepe is one one of the most successful crypto presales on the market and has raised a whopping $11.3 million so far. However the presale is going to end in just one day. This marks the final opportunity for investors to buy MIND of Pepe at a fixed and discounted price before its exchange debut.
MIND of Pepe is a Pepe-themed AI agent that will scan the market to identify trading opportunities. It has a public X account where it offers market commentary, hot takes, and even replies to followers.
But the real innovation is only available for $MIND holders. The project boasts a data insights terminal that shares trading signals, in-depth technical analysis, risk-to-reward ratio analysis, and curated X posts.
It can also launch its own crypto projects, and $MIND holders will get insider access before the agent promotes them on social media.
MIND of Pepe is more than a meme coin; it’s a powerful AI tool designed to make its community money.
With that, it’s unsurprising that analysts expect big gains. For example, Umar Khan from 99Bitcoins recently said the project holds 100x potential.
With a strong use case, hard-wired token utility, and analyst support, MIND of Pepe appears firmly positioned to capitalize on the growth of Pepe coin.
But as mentioned, the presale will end in one day. For investors seeking to buy $MIND at its fixed presale rate of $0.0037515, this is the last opportunity.

Brits looking for a city break with gorgeous beaches, amazing food and budget-friendly accommodation may want to check out one underrated gem that travel experts love
The city’s beach is a must-visit away from the crowds(Image: Getty Images/iStockphoto)
Greece is a firm favourite with Brits looking for sun-soaked holidays including gorgeous beaches, swim-friendly waters and amazing food; but its popularity can mean that getaways can be crowded and expensive.
However, there’s one lesser-known spot on the mainland that travel insiders have praised for offering all the above, “without tourist price hikes” that you’d find at hotspots like Athens, or islands like Rhodes, Crete and Mykonos.
The experts at Ski Vertigo have named Nafplio as one of their go-to underrated spots, adding that while most tourists will miss it, it remains a firm favourite with locals thanks to its beautiful coastal views and lack of larger crowds.
“Often overshadowed by island resorts, Nafplio on the mainland is a favourite among Greeks themselves,” they explained. “Expect great food, romantic alleyways, and sea views – without tourist price hikes”.
Nafplio isn’t a go-to holiday hotspot but it’s a firm favourite with locals and visitors alike(Image: Getty Images/iStockphoto)
Nafplio has everything you could want for a mix of city break and beach holiday. The city’s cobbled streets are home to heaps of shops, hotels and of course restaurants where you can tuck into some of that world-famous Greek cuisine. (In fact, you can also find some brilliant bakeries serving up some classic Greek pastries that are sure to appeal to anyone with a sweet tooth!).
It’s also worth a stroll to the marina and harbour from which you can take in some gorgeous coastal views, or you can go exploring thanks to the plethora of historic castles, churches and neoclassical architecture, as well as a range of museums where you can learn more about Greece’s fascinating history.
Meanwhile, sun-seekers who’d like to spend a day on the beach won’t be disappointed. For a start there’s Nafplio’s city beach, a small pebbled bay right on the edge of the city, and by the crystalline waters. However if it’s sand you’re after, then you may want to head over to Karathona beach which is always a hit with visitors thanks to its eucalyptus tree-lined sandy shores and amenities including watersports facilities.
It’s also worth leaving space on the itinerary to visit the nearby fishing village of Tolo, which boasts a postcard-worthy golden sandy beach that’s ideal for families thanks to the swim-friendly waters, and a few eateries where you can pick up a snack or use the loos. Tolo also has plenty of hotels and campsites right by the beach for those wanting to spend a bit more time exploring the area.
Although there are no direct flights to Nafplio from the UK, it’s still fairly easy for Brits to visit. One of the easiest routes is to fly to Athens – for which there are plenty of direct flights with the likes of Jet2, easyJet, British Airways and Ryanair – and then to get the ferry across, which takes just over two hours. The ferry between the two cities runs multiple times a day, so there’s plenty of opportunity to either explore Athens and travel on a later day, or grab an early flight and be at Nafplio in time for some sunset cocktails overlooking the harbour!
