Travel advice - 2 weeks, ?1000, 3 girls, where to go?


Recommended Posts

I went to Tunisia a few times 20 odd years ago and there was a few occasions where I was uncomfortably hassled. However, I was in Morocco last February with my very striking blonde, blue eyed daughter and apart from the few whistles etc we weren't hassled to an uncomfortable level at all. Marekesh is wonderful and a trip to the atlas mountains is a must.

Morrocco will be too hot if you go towards the desert, believe me I was there a year ago at the of May. May be OK on the coast and Marakech is managable. Didn't find the hassle that others report though, and it is lovely and very good value.


I felt that Viet Nam was tourism by numbers, it was difficult to get off the beaten track. Perhaps it is less so now.


Sri Lanka was lovely both in 97 and 03, not sure how much the peace dividend will have changed it. It is beautiful withouth the level of hassle and issues over hygiene that India has.


India is hopefully still an amazing experience but no doubt much changed since I went there in 01.


We liked Oaxaca in Mexico (pronounced wahaka) and headed down to the hippy surfing beaches. Bloody hot at Xmas so now?!


Cuba was interesing and not too touristy.


Do tell us where you went.

I'm not very lucky so I stay away from gambling! We're now looking at inter railing and doing eastern Europe, though need to work out our route and whether it would be cheaper to do flights and bus instead of an inter rail ticket....

Hi all


Probably going to Sri Lanka now- but I need to get vaccinations done ASAP as we're leaving on May 13th. Does anyone a) know what vaccines I need (internet varies from Typhoid and hep A to all manners of things) and b) best place to get it done? Admittedly I have not yet tried the doctors but I know getting an appointment is like gold dust and I doubt I will be able to get one in time....


thanks all

    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
