... fancy getting a broad-sword. Anyone got any suggestions?

Seriously though - We'd like to get away for a week around mid-March. Just somewhere with a bit of sun to relax. Budget of around £1000 for two (i.e. £500 each). Preferably around Europe as we can't be bothered with flying too far for just a week.

We're both Scuba Divers (diddyman?) so if there was somewhere a bit further out but with warm/temperate waters that'd be ideal. It's the travelling:holiday ratio that matters more, really.

Most grateful for your thoughts (related).

Thanks,
Phil.

Ste Maxime

South Of France, just around the bay from St Tropez.

I dived there (my first and only attempt. I really enjoyed it)

You can get to Monaco on the train very easily for a day trip.


Flying into Nice would probably be your best bet, then train it across or hire a car.

If you hire a car make sure you go to the Gorge De Verdon. Breathe taking!

It won't be particularly warm but Tallinn in Estonia is absolutely gorgeous, cheap yet high quality and will not be full of idiots. All in all a great place to relax.
