Where did you go on your honeymoon...........?


Recommended Posts

We went to Vietnam too. We got married in April and went to Hong Kong for a couple of days then to Hanoi and travelled down the coast visiting Halong Bag (did a cruise) Hoi An and finishing up with some relaxy/beach luxury here: http://www.sixsenses.com/sixsensesninhvanbay. Food is fantastic and cheap! Weather was great too (except in Hong Kong - it tipped it down there!).

Maldives for two weeks... Very idyllic! That was 13 years ago, divorced now!


My fianc? and I went to Fiji as a Pre baby holiday, that was amazing, pain to get to but really recommend! We did a few days on the mainland and then went out to the islands - bliss! Will def go again!

Very similar except only went for 10 days - one of the most beautiful places I have ever been and would highly recommend.

We did similar - hubbie organised so no clear idea on cost, but know a uk based independent safari travel company (?Aardvark) came up with the itinerary based on our wants/budget. We were away for 15 nights.


We went late spring, and started with a few days in Zambia just up the Zambezi from Victoria Falls, then went into Botswana which I agree is the most amazing and friendly place - we did a camp which was close to the Chobe and had been recommended as a "dry" camp although the channel the camp was on had flooded so we had hippos under our room! We then a few days in a camp on the Okavango River - fell asleep to the sound of thousands of bell frogs (size of your thumbnail) who literally sounded like a chorus of tiny bells - gorgeous which helped detract from the twin beds pushed together but with twin mozzie nets!


Rather than Zanzibar, we went on to Marlin lodge which is just off the coast of Mozambique - perfect contrast to the early starts of the safari camps and beautiful paradise like beaches, plus lots done by the lodge to support the local community - left lots of our clothes over there to donate to them.


We knew we wanted to start a family fairly soon after marrying and so this was the perfect once-in-a-lifetime break before we commited to family friendly/uk based hols :)

Malta (1991) - we'd already been there a couple of times together and loved it.


Went back for our 10th wedding anniversary and loved it.


Went back last year (with 3 teenagers) and we had a great time but didn't seem the same.


Malta has become very commercialised (think that's the word).

Tanzania and Zanzibar. A few days on the coast south of Dar where there was nothing to do except do nothing, then the most amazing 4 days on safari in the Selous National Park and finally a few days in Zanzibar with the last night in Stone Town.


I wouldn't bother with Zanzibar again, but I'd love to go back to Tanzania. Adored it.

Flew to Vegas, drove convertible through death valley to San Francisco then hired Harley to visit big sur and ride the west coast down to LA.


Booked my sisters honeymoon also. Flew to Miami for a few nights then on to harbour island in Eleuthera. Harbour island is home to the worlds only pink sand beach with wild ponies roaming free. No cars on the island, just golf carts.

WOW!


Only just checled back at the post, lots of ideas.


We have a budget of around ?2,000-?2,500, going for just 7 days as we dont want to leave our then 2.5 year old any longer, and we are getting married in April 2013 - I want a hot (in temperature!) honeymoon - so we are thinking maybe somewhere along the indian ocean...

    • hallo, Do you have a suitcase for a student going to Ghana to teach sports? Taking a parachute, cones, mini hurdles, batons and dodge balls and a pump, then leaving it there for the school If I could have any old suitcase please it would be amazing! Thank you
    • Looking to borrow a gazebo for birthday party this Saturday, can you help? Julian - 07961463111
    • Whilst I agree, I have been thinking about this recently in relation to some of the other posts on here about anti social behaviour. We are all products of our upbringing - our experiences at home, school and beyond - plus whatever we have inherited genetically which might affect our behaviour (the nature/nurture thing). So in this case, if people haven't been brought up to love and appreciate trees and other wild things, plus as you say they may be deeply unhappy (or have other undiagnosed issues) it's easy to see how they could have ended up doing this. Also, it's possible they had quite low intelligence and didn't really grasp what they were doing and the effect it would have on so many other people. But that's just surmise and possibly completely wrong. From what I've read about it, they seemed to be two mates egging each other on, like two big kids. I'm not for a minute excusing what they did, and it's right they should be punished, but I really hope they might get some sort of rehabilitation in prison (it would  be appropriate to have them do some kind of community service like planting saplings, wouldn't it, or working in woodland conservation). And the same goes for phone robbers and shoplifters (rehabilitation, not planting saplings), though for SOME  shoplifters there might also be other issues at play, not excluding poverty. Sorry Jasonlondon,  I've gone off at a real tangent here, lucky it's in the lounge! Oh oops I've just noticed it isn't. Sorry admin. Oh, and then there's a whole philosophical discussion to be had about free will and determinism ..... 🤣🤣🤣
    • Thanks! I'll find out in a few weeks when I get the results! It was one of those disconcerting things where a disembodied voice keeps booming  at you to breathe in and hold it, then breathe normally. Apart from that it was OK, all completely painless. I imagine there will be quite a few people going from ED, though I presume it covers the whole Southwark area
