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...

    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.
