Holiday destinations for the lone traveller

Go on a skiing holiday in New Zealand @Bandage, you won’t regret it

@Bandage- don’t listen to this fucking retard… climbing up and down a hill on the other side of the world just to see a bit of snow and to slide down it on two bits of plastic is the ideal holiday of a fucktard… imagine blowing about 3-4k on that… up the hill, down the hill , up the hill, down the hill… Jesus wept.

You are on the right track with South America, pal. Just do a bit of research.

Do you understand sarcasm mate?

Tell me what it is and i’ll let you know.

:rollseyes:

Rattled.

havent a clue pal, I wasnt there in August. a quick google says averages are around 15-17 degrees. that rises a bit into September.

@fran did somestuff in Africa a while back with his missus, he should give invaluable advice.

Singing in, did Safari in Tanzania, climbed Kilimanjaro and then a week in Zanzibar. We did over Christmas / New Year. Weather was perfect for pasty Irish roasters. Don’t know what it’s like in August

Vegas and Hawaii and Alaska

Maybe the Deep South too

No reason to go outside the USA. Why would you go anywhere you need to get injections for or tablets.

FYI information of @Bandage, Africa was an fantastic experience by the btw, but fuck me those cunts can be hard work.

Have you considered a Beijing/Hong Kong trip Bandage? Bit of culture in Beijing, do the wall, little cycle around the city, take in some acrobats, get a chicken curry half-rice half-chips. Then off to Hong Kong for a bit more western style life with the harbour, the theme parks, the shopping for the lady friend.

:blush: indeed
Quite a market there for lady friends

Africa has been ruled out on the basis friends of ours are doing a safari followed by beach/island honeymoon a few weeks after and we can’t steal their thunder apparently.

Australia got mentioned earlier. Over my dead body.

Far East interests me all right, @Rocko. Japan more than China though for some reason.

Have you been to south east asia

What? :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

It’s not far east- But Vietnam and Cambodia are super duper. What about India or Sri-lanka, pal?

August is actually a shitty enough time to go on holiday outside Europe. Winter in the southern hemisphere, hurricanes in the Carribean…
Zanzibar, Tanzania, etc would be bit hot in August I’d say. Great trip though. Did something similar to @Fran. Keep it for the honeymoon. Stay away from Kenya, esp Nairobi or northern parts. Dangerous enough and now Al Quaida types threatening.
Argentina is class. It’d be damn cold down south in August though.
Not sure what the weather is like in South Africa or Thailand but I’d definitely recommend the two of those spots if you have a few weeks.
Going to Vancouver, Vancouver Island and taking in a trip through the rockies around whistler and Banff another option. .Beautiful spot but Canadian hotels, etc. a bit old fashioned.
