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

    • Boil - it’s the customer’s fault, not the delivery person’s. 
    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.
