Where next for a 2 week holiday?

[Herman Toothrot]

I don't know where to go next..

I've been to:-

France
Germany
Italy
Spain
Portugal
Hungary
Czech Republic
Netherlands
Tunisia
South Africa
Canada
South West USA
Hong Kong
Vietnam
Mexico
Cambodia
Southern Thailand
Barbados
Jamaica
St Lucia
Virgin Islands
Sweden

2 weeks means I feel Australia / New Zealand / South of South Americas too far away.

I'd been thinking Indonesia / Singapore, Madagascar, North West USA, Northern Thailand. Any where else obviously missing I should take a look at?

Cuba is one we'd thought about, is it spoilt already?

I just have a thing about people going on about how marvellous it is now. It's a fking communist dictatorship stuck in a time warp. I think holidaying there is tantamount to voyeurism and supports a cack-brained megalomaniac. (just my opinion, YMMV and it's your money)

I hear there are now cruises to North Korea.

I know a few people who have been to Cuba in the last decade and they have praised it and said people are all very friendly and welcoming to tourists as they are a good source of income. If you are improving the people's situation by visiting that has to be good surely?

Never been, what's really nice about the place?

[PugwasHDJ80]

Madgascar or Iceland

both places vlew the socks off everywhere else we've been (ie your list pretty much )

don't expect it to be cheap, or a relaxing beach holidy (although madagascar has some stunning beaches)

I would recommend Syria, but a bit of local bother out there right now. Jordan ( Petra, Eadi Rum, Jerrash. Aqaba diving)?

Or combine one week in Israel (Jerusalem, Haifa,Galilee, Negev, Eilat, Massada)), one week in Jordan

All good suggestions :-). One place missing that I have been wondering about are the Greek islands, any advise for visiting them?

YMMV, of course. I wouldn't visit if you paid me to.

[Herman Toothrot]

Fair enough :-) I thought they were supposed to be nice, I'm not talking resorts.

Austria, Denmark, Kenya, Oman, Qatar, Russia, Wales, Yemen and Zambia.

Then you will have done the whole a - z and you get a badge.

Oman, Qatar and Yemen would be doable in 2 weeks.
