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

    • Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
    • My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
    • The MFI was probably where Iceland is now. This post makes me feel very old - went to a 30th birthday party in the garden at the back. Oh to be 30 again! 
    • Anyone upgraded their TV for Christmas?! I'm looking for a smallish Smart TV I can use with earbuds. Not more than 56cm high and  25cm deep. A 26" one used to fit.  Thanks!
