As lots of people are flying off to the wide blue yonder contributions to the more unusual places you may have been or just plain holiday tips?
Here's mine for what it's worth
And for the geeks out there
Bit of comedy. Bizzare Bath Comedy Walk
Holiday Hints
Barmouth is lovely.
As is the Llyn Peninsula.
one of my favourite holiday things I've done is the camera obsucra in Edingburgh. I had read about it before I went but it turned out to be different than I was expecting.
The comedy carpet in Blackpool is good.
Other than that London- just in general. Not sure why. Despite spending around only seven weeks of my life there I feel more 'at home' there than places I lived in for five years or more.
I've recently come back from Slovenia. Lovely and clean and quiet - unlike Wales.
If you are going through Hell, keep going.
Handy holiday hint...

Where about did you go Dave? Me and mrs Will Cam are heading there for a week next Wednesday. Our first holiday without kids! 4 nights in Kranjska Gora followed by 3 nights in Bled. It's the 8th/9th time we have been including our Honeymoon 25 years ago.

Three nights in Bed might be more appropriate - what with the lack of kids and everything.

Kranska Gora! Loved it.
Lovely bars and restaurants. Didn't get to Bled although on a couple of excursions we picked people up from there so I saw the Lake and the Castle.
Trust you're going up into the Julian Alps. And I would suggest you take some proper walking boots. I didn't on my walk to the point where Italy, Austria and Slovenia meet.
We're going soft walking Chappers, purely sightseeing and relaxing this time. Which hotel in kranjska Gora did you stay in? We are going back to the Larix (now a Ramada). We have also stayed at the Kompas a few times and 3 years we stayed in private apartments.
I find Slovenia the most relaxing place on earth.
I hate holidays but may just about to persuade myself to go to Telaviv this winter, as a couple of the companies I write for are looking to use me as an inhouse writer.
It probably won't cover flight and digs, but there's a Calvinist streak to my soul that revolts on paying money to go and do nothing.

I saw the Ramada, They've got 2 there now.
Don't tell me you stayed in the Kronau Houses. We did self catering and it was fantastic.
No, never stayed there. I think they are quite new. It's probably 5 years since we went self catering. We stayed just over the main road from where you were, near the shopping centre once and twice in a house right in the centre. Where you stayed looked pretty nice, we did look at them this time round but the wife didn't fancy cooking. This is the view from our room thelast time we stayed at the Larix in 2011.
Fantastic memories. And only less than a month ago.
I know someone else who's been there several times too and I can understand why. I often think it would be nice to go back to places such as this and Corfu and Croatia but there's so much world to see.
