Re: Summer Hols

I want another holiday. A longer one to do nothing and relax. 6 weeks and counting. Just back from a long weekend off and I don't feel like I was off. Think cos it was so short a time I had off.

swmbo is from a town called Ierapetra which is on the South East coast of Crete. Quite a few tourists down there (Mostly German/French with a few Brits) but mostly its a town for locals. Very nice, very 'chilled', its where we got married last summer. Other places I could recommend on Crete are Agios Nicolas (North East coast) and Chania (North West coast). Never been to Hersonissos/Malia as swmbo avoids them like the plague

Being a sun worshipper, she can't stand UK summers so there's no chance of holidaying here and even less chance of getting her to go camping, lol.

Re: Summer Hols

malia is a bit club 18-30 but I heard it's getting pulled at the end of this season from somebody who goes there quite a lot.

When I was sober Malia seemed to be a cracking wee place people were very friendly. Would defo go back again but not as club 18-30!

Re: Summer Hols

We had a week in a nice cottage in Norfolk at the beginning of June, then we're heading down to the south of France in September, where SWMBO has relatives who own a camp site with some posh mobile homes. I can't wait.
Then (and I know it's not a summer holiday, but i don't care!) we're already booked for skiing in Austria in February

Re: Summer Hols

i did a week in may with sinister and minitext, the weekend camp with sinister and we all doing a week in august and thats it. its all day trips in auguest, just like may so probably just the same amount spent to a decent holiday. however if the weather is rather rubbish we can stay in for the day and save money too.

One forum member has a blog type website for his roadtrips - I think its JamesRothwell. If you're reading James, how come you didn't get to Athens?

Re: Summer Hols

Going away twice this summer [AFAIK]; Brisky camping trip at the end of this month, then in August I'm off to Fort William, up Ben Nevis and stuff like that. Then in October I'm away again down in the Peak District [I used to live ~20 miles away from it so it will be interesting to go on holiday there].

And maybe a few other long weekends here and there, yet to be decided upon.
