Best and Worst place you have been to?

masonsmum

Best has to be Cyprus we got married there and I felt the people and the place were lovely and would love to return one day with our son.

I have never returned from a holiday and hated it, I always enjoy spending time with my family out of the norm 9-5 routine and especially savour the better weather.

Best

Tokyo - A human zoo! Wicked!
Vegas - Sort of like a human zoo - except it's more like a different planet.
Bay Area - Great place to just chill out and do nothing, although there's plenty of stuff to do as well.
Zakynthos - Even better place to sit around and do nothing. Never have I seen such a blue sea before... or was that azure?

Worst

Lhasa, Tibet - Dusty, grotty, smelly (it's that candle wax they use in the temples). Altitude sickness didn't help much either. Only saving grace was the skewered lamb sold on the street stalls.
Somewhere in Hainan, China - Got stuck in this backwater village (for work) between Haikou and Sanya. Can't even find the place on google maps! Ugh! At least the sheets were clean.
Naples - Dark, dank, crappy food. Pompei wasn't really that hot either, and neither were the druggies shooting up heroin outside the hotel.

I loved malta but I was expecting it to be built up so it was no surprise. We did an archaeological tour, which was fantastic, so much ancient history. Lovely, English speaking people and no ripoff prices also easy to get around by bus

We also loved sicily and its ancient temples and wonderful ice creams and hilltop atmospheric villages

We like Madeira, very safe, lovely people and a nice temperature

I disliked parts of Italy and the anti British attitude in a few hotels. Also a bit scary in some towns and I saw a woman being mugged in florence as well as a man in Rome, surrounded by gypsy beggars
