Need some inspiration for a holiday (not a boring beach one)
Discussion
Hi all! I've not used the Holiday forum before so I'm not sure how successful this will be, but I'm looking to book a holiday in early June with the GF and we want to do something a bit exciting. Budget is currently unknown but I'd like to not spend much more than £1K if possible.
Thailand is out as the GF went there a couple of months ago and we're looking at 2 weeks away. We'd love to spend a bit of time on the beach/pool, but mostly we'd like to do some fun stuff somewhere nice and sunny... Maybe some skydiving/sailing/microlight flying over something interesting/white water rafting etc etc.
Any ideas? I'm drawing a bit of a blank at where to start. Africa is an easy choice, but its a little big and I'm not sure where to start. I'd like to be a bit more interesting though. So has anyone got any ideas I can start with? Things to do, places to look etc etc?
Thanks in advance, sorry for being so vague!

Ah, sorry, £1k each. Not that then. Good luck!
Tobago (but don't tell anybody).
Iceland.
Denmark.

Mark Warner/Sunsail type effort for sailing etc in Egypt or the Med?
Not sure how much the flights are, but how about Zanzibar for a week followed by a bit of safari in one of the smaller (and therefore cheaper) game reserves.
Go to Tunisia and hire a car to see the sights. Avoid Tunis though, it's carnage
Ditto for Morocco, or find a friendly bloke in an old Merc taxi and negotiate a week's hire. See the Atlas (bearing in mind it'll be cold at altitude), Sahara and do some sailing on the coast.
Or hire a car and do a tour round the Spanish Pyrenees - Barcelona, vineyards, beaches, skydiving and watersports at Empuriabrava (?sp)...

Road trip France. Down (via the Alps or Biarritz if you surf) to the south coast and Porquerolles.
