Holiday

[Rikos]

Hi all,

I am looking to go on holiday in August for a week with friends but not sure where to go. I dont fancy an out an out on the lash week and was also thinking about skiing. My budget's not huge by any means.

Any suggestions?

Just got back from skiing was really good, if your going away in August you'll have to look high most glaciers have snow all year round but best to go from december to april. Ever thought about doing a fly and drive ??? dunno where but could be a laugh

[johnboy]

Southend in a B&B :D

bulgaria??

some nice pistes, cheap lager, filthy ladies and cheap accomodation.......

[Rikos]

Skegness and southend are good suggestions but not quite what i'm looking for

I had thought about Eastern europe, and thanks for the info on the skiing.

Mersea island, Essex and you'll be able to fit JAE in at the same time :D

Not into Skiing, but I like the way your mind works Rob :D

If you can wait till late September, 4-5 days at Oktoberfest in Munich is a great crack Rik.

Not doing it this year as funds are tight, going to the Nurburgring instead

[Rikos]

Thinking abroad J havent been abroad for about 4 years so need a break!

Not a fan of germany wozza

[DJ Wozza]

Me neither matey, full of Germans,

but Oktoberfest has be be experienced, as does the Nurburgring :winky:

Hot or Cold, Rik?

[Rob]

try croatia or bulgaria mate -cheap and great weather no chance of ski tho in august , and to be honest even if it has a glacier it will not be good at that time of year, bring it forward a few months and u have a chance - u have until about the first week in april, but mid march is best.

[Rikos]

Skiing was only an idea as i've never done it but will save it for another year, croatia or bulgaria maybe worth a look in cheers rob.

Jamie - i'd prefer a bit of hot weather if i'm not going skiing to be honest

Dublin is good my parents went there last year and said it was awesome.

[Unregistered_User]

i thought dublin was a dump

I'd be tempted to get a cheap flight to somewhere like Ibiza. If you avoid San Antonio, the rest of the island is actually pretty nice and not too Britified, so you won't be forced into crappy bars and nightclubs. The flights are only about 35 quid each way, and there are plenty of cheap hotels there. Also look at places like Malta, the Canary Islands and the rest of the Balearic Islands.

anywhere in august is going to be full of kids! unless you have them, go outside of school holiday times otherwise they'll just peeeeeeeeeeeeee you off!

[Rikos]

I have to go in the school holidays as my mate who's coming with me is a teacher.

[johnboy]

I have the perfect solution for you, Mersea Island, at the end of August, its in the School holidays, some big car event going on there too. :D

[corsavandal]

cruise. all inclusive 10 day med cruise's are cheap, compared to a trip to Ibiza where you need lots of spending money. and if the kid's (if there are any) get to much, ask them if they want swimming lesson's....................

[Rikos]

I'm starting to notice a trend with you and kids

I do feel sorry if you have any younger siblings or relatives

Cruise is an idea but your limited to what you do thats the only problem

Dubai. It has excellent weather (although extra hot in August, but you get some decent deals because of that), good nightlife and the worlds only indoor black ski run about 5 minutes from the beach, or you can go boarding on the dunes..
