ajax_andy 0 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 The missus and I were planning on going to New York for a week in December but I don't think we'll be able to afford it sadly. She's mentioned Paris but I'm not 100% convinced it'll be all that fun and more of a weekend rather than a weeks type of holiday (could be wrong tho?). Also it'll be wet and cold just like here so not keen for that reason. Does anyone have any recommendations for somewhere quite cultural but also where the weather wont be rank?

Could go for the other end of the stick. Somewhere like Norway/Iceland where you know it'll be snowy but no shit drizzle/half and half that annoys us during December. Thermals and boots etc and you'll be boiling and going through somewhere interesting. Cabins with fire etc. Proper winter. Alternately if you want winter sun Malta is apparently nice, get the right places though obviously. I spent the other winter in Sri Lanka though and I've got to admit einter sun aint all it's cracked up to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely recommended I love Prague but me and the missus have already been twice unfortunately... plus been to Krakow & Tallinn too so might give eastern Europe a miss for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Salzburg and Cologne are particularly good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajax_andy 0 Posted April 26, 2012 Author Share Posted April 26, 2012 Tbh I've never really considered going to Germany for a holiday... maybe I should look in to it? Have a mate who's been and loved it, but I think the fact my wifes dutch parents go caravaning there always puts me off a little Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
