Re: Where would YOU go?

it depends what the respite was from and how fit one feels.

quote

"My idea was taking a short trip to see the Norwegian fjords but the travel agent I spoke to said that the days are short by then and you'd be in the dark a lot!"

depends on time of year we are going there in June "land of the midnight sun"


So I would not use that travel agent you might land up in " La La land"

You'll be travelling there and back on the Sunday (28th) and Friday (3rd), so you'll have 4 whole days to play with.

My idea was taking a short trip to see the Norwegian fjords but the travel agent I spoke to said that the days are short by then and you'd be in the dark a lot!
Authentic Scandinavia http://authentic-scandinavia.com/fjords do two 4 day trips all year, wonder if it's worth contacting them.
The travel agent had never heard of them!

Then I saw the lovely photos on here of Llandudno and Llangollen but would it be too late in the year to go there?

Lordruthio has suggested Gibraltar... but isn't that just roaming about looking at how those with more money than brains live?

So where would you choose?
Any ideas??
There must be 2 Gibraltars....I've never witnessed that.

Though, if you want to see opulence....fight your way through the tip known as La Linear and head for Marbella, Puerto Banus and Cabo Pino.

How about Tenerife or one of the other islands?

Re: Where would YOU go?

I would definitely choose Gibraltar. But stay in La Linea as cheaper to stay there. You only have to cross the road and you are in Gibraltar.
I was there in June and definitely going back soon. I just hate the cold damp weather, and at least you can get some sunshine in Gib.

Re: Where would YOU go?

I think I would go to Cornwall maybe a little cottage by the sea close to a village with a nice friendly pub that does good food
