Going on holiday, where should I go?

10 years ago

You're obviously not one of those people that daydreams about (and plans) their future vacations years in advance.

Might I suggest:

San Sebastián - Lonely Planet

With an answer like that, I'm astonished that you even have time for a vacation!

Man, I've been working like a crazy nutcase these past 3.5 years doing IM full time. Not giving myself time to work out, eat healthy, to go out and enjoy myself, to take part in self development, make new friends, etc. Just shut myself in my room and worked.

Income's a bit better now, and I think it's about high time I let myself start enjoying life, just a little

Thanks

Have you ever been to the area of Oberamergau (sp?), and Garmish, Germany? They are awesome. Garmish houses Hitlers underground base, and between Garmis and Oberamergau, which is where the passion plays are held once a decade, is Ludwigberg's summer castle, which is phenomenal. Behind it is a tea house that was in one of the world fairs. He liked it so he bought it. And behind that there's a concealed entrance to a cave with a grotto and a gold boat shaped like a swan. Next, in Oberamergau there is a church. From the outside it's just your average adobe church with the onion domed spire on it. On the inside it's a fantasy world. Murials on the ceiling - garlands of roses and leaves sculptured into the wall/celing edges, the leaves are leafed in gold. In the front is a glass coffin with the bones, still jeweled and dressed, of a Bishop or some such. In the Zugspites mountains you can find quartz crystals and such if you're looking for a more outdoorsy experience. The buildings in town have murals painted on some of them, and they have that quaint architecture with the wooden window boxes and flowers. The restaurants are quality, and were at least, inexpensive. Hotel accommodations are pleasant. The area is Bavaria at its finest. I preferred it to Munich.

Um, but where's the beach?

Caans. Swimwear optional. :rolleyes:

LOL - I didn't even see the line about the beach.

I haven't been to Naples in over 30 years, so it could be different now, but when I was there it was a dirty place. By that I mean there were rats everywhere, and they dumped raw sewage in the ocean. I wouldn't swim there.

Like I say though, it could be different now.
