I went 10 years ago. I spent £1k a night for a beautiful resort where I got terrible food poisoning. I crapped the bed and broke my toe running for the bathroom. After leaving I went directly from the airport to the hospital where they admitted me and kept me on a drip for most of a day. I wouldn't go back...My wife fancies the Maldives. People say that a week is long enough. Not sure that I fancy a 10 hour flight if only going for a week. I'm trying to sell her the virtues of the Italian lakes.
Never used to go abroad in the summer. Plenty of things to do fairly locally. Much nicer in southern Europe Oct/nov time when it’s usually 20 plus but the weather back home is getting cold.Ive been to a fair spread if overseas places, but every time i go I realise more and more that the UK has the best and most varied landscape per mile of anywhere on the planet. Plus you get proper beer anywhere and a great variety of cuisine from different nations.
So I'll go camping again this year ... probably south Wales and Brecon.
No airport rip-offs, not hassle with luggage, no parking charges, no drop off charges, no faff with visas.
About the only drawback will be the British all over the gaff ... but the very worst of us go off and torment europe anyway.

And it bloody stops rainingI agree with you there mate, once you get off the beaten track, this country has so much to offer and with a bit of homework, you can do and see a lot on a relatively reasonable budget. ( as long as your not after luxury ! )
