Remembering The Good Holiday We’ve Had Or Places In This Country We’ve Visited

[Bobbisox1]

Where had the best effect and which had the worst effect on you ?

The best place that left an impact on me was Budapest ,second was Belin for its cleanliness
Places I wouldn’t go back to, Israel, it was dirty and smelly,especially Nazareth
And probably Marmaris in Turkey, hated being approached every few seconds and asked to eat in their restaurants,
Yet going from Kos in the Greek islands to Bodrim, ( Turkey) loved it there
Northern Turkey is beautiful, I definitely would go there again

^ I hated Fuerteventura. I went there once on a package (should have known better but it was a cheapo) I took one look out of the window as we were about to land wanted to go home. We had to endure two weeks of it. Never again.

never really had a bad holiday, though the Hotel Suez Canal 1956 in Aleppo was maybe the worst hotel in the world, even Basil Fawlty would have run away screaming. Was it the air conditioning (a big hole in the wall) or the blood on the sheets or the water on the floor, I don't know. But you look back on these things and laugh.

I should have been in Northern Turkey right now. Presently I'm having a battle to get my money back.

Munich and Krakow last year left me wanting more, especially Munich.

Marmaris, Portugal and Mexico ... never again!

Best effect was Queenstown, New Zealand. Difficult to explain but my soul felt at home there and the scenery is just beautiful.
Worst place I’ve ever been is Blackpool.

Best holiday was first one abroad. I went to Toulon in Greece with OH, it was magical.
Worst was about 7 years ago over Christmas in Guernsey. Due to bad weather we were marooned for an extra week. Missed my 70th birthday celebrations and new year. There was nothing opened. Bored to death.

I agree about Fuertaventura (and all the Canary Islands for that matter). All man made hell holes full of plastic bars and restaurants. Shudder.

Worst place Tunisia! Just the men will not leave you alone, constantly begging for f*cky f*cky!
Best place Portugal, clean, people are lovely.

Apart from the horseracing holiday I mentioned on the other thread, my best 'holiday' just has to be the month I spent in the mountains above a small town called Immenstadt in Bavaria. We were meant to be there for a month's adventure training but apart from a couple of days canoeing and 3 or 4 days mountain climbing and abseiling, we played volleyball almost every morning (always in glorious sunshine) before heading off to do a bit of boating and swimming in the town' quite large lake. Back up the mountain for tea then into the back of a 4 tonner at 6pm (miss it ad you were stuck in barracks) down the winding, narrow path to the boozer at the foot of the mountain. There we stayed, listening to the rain bash the roof of the building before piling back onto the 4 tonner for the trip back up the mountain, still in the pouring rain. Up at 6 in the morning and the sun had been up so long that the ground beneath our feet was dry as we made our way to the canteen for breakfast.
