Top 10 Reasons To Book A Winter Holiday
Posted by admin in Winter Holiday on July 8, 2011
Weighing up the merits of a winter holiday this year? Here are 10 reasons why it might be a great idea.
1. The most obvious reason to book a holiday over the next few months is to avoid the cold weather, with many of us preferring to soak up some winter sun.
2. Alternatively, some people go away at Christmas because Britain isn’t cold enough and doesn’t provide the festive scene we want. If you’re a fan of Christmas, this could be for you.
3. If you’ve never tried winter in the sun, how do you know you don’t like it? There’s something very liberating about having Christmas dinner on the beach.
4. If you’re not a big fan of Christmas, then you may want to getaway from the commercialism and hectic high streets that many people associate with the season.
5. If you’re alone for the first time this winter, having lost a loved one, then you may want to go on holiday and escape the reminders of shared Christmases. Read the rest of this entry »
The Perfect Winter Holiday Destinations
Posted by admin in Winter Holiday on July 8, 2011
Winter weather is not usually very pleasant, to put it lightly. Sure, it’s gorgeous when it’s snowing outside and you’re at home, thinking about building a snowman or opening Christmas presents. It’s an entirely different story when you have somewhere to go or someone coming to you and the weather is getting in your way. Going to work or school in winter weather is dreadful – and as a result, it makes us all dream of heading on a holiday at this key time of year. Some of us are even lucky enough to do so, and providing the airport isn’t shut, you too can enjoy an absolutely phenomenal escape in the midst of poor weather at home. I’ve got three amazing holiday destinations I want to share with you that are perfect for these dreary months.
1. South Africa. January is one of the best times for an incredible safari in South Africa, and spending your days in a hot climate having adventures is surely the greatest contrast you can get on a holiday from the UK! South Africa has plenty of luxurious accommodation to pamper you in the evenings after exciting days out. You might also consider a visit to Cape Town and a climb up Table Mountain; for those who aren’t ready for climbing, the Table Mountain Cable Car is a great way to see those fantastic views without so much effort.
2. Thailand. This gorgeous nation is chock full of intoxicating cities, ornate historic buildings, and absolutely stunning beaches. And, if you’re into cuisine, you’ll love Thailand’s amazing dishes, especially if you choose to spend a night or two in Bangkok and can experience the country’s best restaurants. Most people, however, will want to spend a winter holiday by the beach at least some of the time, and luckily Thailand can perfectly cater for such a holiday. With some resorts even claiming you’ll leave with no tan lines, you can be assured of enjoying sun, sand, and absolute privacy over the course of your holiday. Read the rest of this entry »
