Will do littleminne it looks like paradise x

Ooh the Maldives are on my list of places to go.  Let us know what you think.

And my list - wouldn't know which Island to go to though 

[Roseneath]

Any tips ladies. I am looking for ideas for a break in June for the family ( kids 10 and 11). We have done loads of European city breaks and Canaries over the years and also Centre Parcs many times.  We may be moving house next year so don't want to plan a big budget long haul holiday. Anyone tried and could recommend any of the Euro Camps?  The choice is a bit over welcoming and we don't like anywhere too busy, kids don't like kids clubs etc.

Make a list of what you enjoy doing.  Get the kids involved.  Cycling, photography, bird watching, museums; walking, beaches   .......... could you have days out in the UK?  Are you self catering?

Oh yeahhhh, the Maldives. Now that sounds really good......
Let us know how it was, .....Perinowpost plz.....
Is that the place that won't be there in decades to come?
I'm sure it's going to be swallowed up by the sea isn't it?
Thought I'd read that somewhere.

I better get there quick then..........🤭😂😂

Have you tried Thomson Alfresco.  Similar to Eurocamp.  We've been with them a few times.

Roseneath - I sent you a lengthy PM about the Isle of Wight. Didn't want to bore everyone else.

For me - a holiday to the Holy Land at Easter this year.

The Maldives - lovely place. True paradise. Had too much to drink with some rowdy South Africans and ended up jumping in the pool naked. Would have got thrown out I think if there had been any other hotel on the island.  Won't be doing anything like that in the Holy Land 

[jillydoll]

AgathaC,
Sounds exciting to me! 🤣😂

[Perinowpost]

Jillydoll yes I believe so, don't know when they're due to disappear though x

AgathaC 😂😂😂 I certainly will not be doing that x

My friend and her hubby have booked to go on a holiday to India to “the golden triangle”.  Personally I would never visit India as I couldnt cope with the poverty nor the disgusting rubbish filled rivers.  I hope she will be OK as the last holiday she had (to Bulgaria) was pretty bad and she said she was glad to get home. My friends 17 year old daughter is currently there and quite poorly with Delhi belly.

There's a TV programme this evening about cruising.

Some parts of India are beautiful.  Up near the Himalaya ........ tea plantations. The Cities are full of poor, noise, heat, smell but outside, in the countryside ........ one doesn't need to get Delhi belly, by drinking bottled water even for teeth cleaning and avoiding salads/fruit unless peeled, drinking/eating hot fluids and food.  Awful otherwise.

Another reason for staying in the UK ;-)

Youth Hostelling Roseneath?  What do you and the family like doing?

[Shadyglade]

Book 2 nights in Suffolk, mid month.

[CLKD]

Suffolk is lovely.  We took our cycles.

We have booked Centre Parcs Penrith for Feb . Meeting up with friends who have just had a baby (He is in his late 40s! Respect!).
At least there will be warm water to wallow in and they have a nice outdoor pool, lit at night. I can do some jogs around the woods. Am doing high ropes challenge with my son.  Still thinking about June... thanks for all your suggestions. I am yearning for sunshine at the moment.
