    Not an actual holiday,but a day trip whilst on holiday,was Ronda in Spain.

    One minute you are walking down a typical high street found in any English town, and then suddenly you come across the spectacular gorge.

    Mine are very unexciting places compared to others but they are the ones I've loved most because of being completely relaxed and not "worrying" about what to do, where to go to eat etc. First was last year in a cottage in Northumberland. The cottage was a disappointment but we had such a lovely time walking and visiting places we'd never been and it was our first holiday back as a couple without our daughter so felt very grown-up, it didn't matter!! Our second was a villa in Spain, right in the hills, beautiful view, equally relaxing and chilled out, with our teenage daughter. We worried it wouldn't work but it absolutely did. It was the fact I had planned to death that it worked so well for us...I@ve grown up enough to realise I'm not an impromptu person and that I enjoy things much more when I know places we are visiting and walks we are doing and places we may eat before we go.. the internet has transformed my holidays in a very good way. Oh and I must mention a long weekend camping at Cambridge Folk Festival last year with my 2 sisters. It was an equally fabby time, the best camping experience at a festival ever, met some very random people, enjoyed the fact we could spend the day in Cambridge and eat proper lunch before going into the festival, loved sitting drinking Pimms in the sun outside our tent with ice from the campsite shop and sharing our brekkie with our tent neighbours

    Love North Wales last 2 times I went I was very lucky with the weather in the 20's, went up Snowdon, enjoyed a pot of tea and lovely welsh cakes on Anglesey, a picnic on the beach and rode some steam trains and more.........very relaxing slow pace holidays. York again good weather the week before the floods last year. Gulf coast of Florida love it soooo much.

    But good places to visit are very much down to the individual and their needs, likes etc at the time.
    I am responsible me, myself and I alone I am not the keeper others thoughts and words.

    Barbados, Langkawi, Bali and Molyvos (Greek island Lesbos). Different reasons for each but all equally lovely to visit.
  • The Greek Islands.

    Thailand, Vietnam, Egypt, Jordan, Sinai, I cant believe I didnt discover them earlier on in my travelling career.

    What do folks think of Sorrento?, loads of people rave about it, but I thought it was a dump full of !!!!! lurking on street corners.
