I haven't had a proper holiday in several years, not out of Australia at least.
A friend of mine recently said she had a blast in Vietnam, which is an intriguing country. I've never been to any South American country either, which is also on my bucket list.
Where do you recommend and why? I don't care what the weather is, hot or cold.
Places I've been to / lived in already:
Australia
Japan
Fiji
New Caledonia
Thailand
America
Indonesia
England
Ireland
Scotland
Wales
Greece
France
Italy
Spain
Germany
Holland
Austria
Switzerland
Belgium (the most boring country in the world?)
I think it would be hard for me to recommend one place, but Malaysia is an amazing country. I spent 4 months in peninsular Malaysia, and it´s not too far Australia.
I really liked Bolivia and Guatemala as well. Mostly for the same reasons. I like the mountains, and the indiginous culture they have in both places.
I think my ultimate favourite place I have been, was the Galapagos. No words to describe how awesome it was.
ha! don't pay attention to ANY of them! VIETNAM! i'm telling you, you won't be sorry, specially if you invite me along - i'll be your sherpa, even tho i've never actually been there... umm... ok, it's REALLY gonna be an adventure *giggles*
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
Alaska / Canada - same aren't they? lol. I think I need a siesta, my brain is fried after the week that was.
Bermuda is beautiful, and relaxing, and they have beaches with pink sand, and the houses/buildings are really bright and pretty
Didn't the US buy Alaska off the Russians for something like $7M?
How did they even manage that in the first place, it's attached to Canada for starters!
Joking aside, I'd like to visit Canada one day, it's a good chance to brush up my french.
Go to Thailand, during the water festival... Then enjoy the food... The culture.. Blah blah blah... then go into the cities and the beaches. Great place.
Try the Greek Island of Thassos its great you have beauty and peace and loads of wonderful women . Unlike Zante which is loud but with loads of women so take your pick
Go to Cape Town..the weather is great, the food and wine are to die for and if you stay at a reputable hotel they normally provide you with your own taxi driver. It's also very beautiful in terms of nature and animals.
Places in Cape Town and sourounds... I'd recommend:
Table Mountain..you take a cable car up to the top and the view is spectacular
Knysna a few hours down the coast but worth going to
Plettenberg bay ditto
Stellenbosch - in the wine farmlands
Robertson- 2 hours out of cape town but great wine tours and the beauty of it is amazing
any one been to New Zealand, I hear the South Island is very beautiful ,although slightly shakey at the moment!!
Not long ago, we were treated to a trip to Romania, and it was wonderful. Great food, great scenery and some of the loveliest 14th and 15th century buildings in the world. There are whole parts of some cities that are more or less unchanged since then, and it's really breathtaking. Plus, a visit to Castle Dracula? Enough of those teenage girl vampire stories, you get the real inspiration for the whole legend right there! We also went into Moldova and spent time in Bulgaria and most importantly, it's quite affordable!
