Honeymoon destinations - help H....

P

You can get a cheapy direct flight with Eva Air ( 9hours) or do a stop over in Dubai -loves it!

H

Well my origins are indian so I have been a few times, I admit Goa is lovely though.

Been to Thailand as well.

Turns out we are gonna have to budget after all so Tahiti is out!
Guess the money should go towards a house rather than a couple of weeks having a good time....

Try to discover the wonders in Portugal and Spain. Italy is very nice too.

Agree. Try Carmona 20 mins from Servilla ( easy jet fly to Servilla I think or Iberia for about £75). Beautiful historic town with loads of interesting history / moorish architecture and wonderful authentic tapas bars. There are frequent buses into Serville too - with the amazing Alcazar and moroccan influences + great night life. The tapas bar in Carmona on the plaza does THE BEST gazpacho in Andulcia. I ate bulls tail there 2 weeks ago.
Google Casa de Carmona - I promise you this is one of the most romantic hotels you can imagine and not outrageously expensive [bit not cheap]. Its also featured in the hip-hotels Atlas.
*clicks castonets and resolves to make gazpacho for diner*

I'd say Lincolnshire; it might not have sun, sea and sand but it does have rain, sea and mud (if that's close enough for you!)

E

Servilla? Is that anywhere near Seville?

S

H, I am going to change the subject for a while. How easy is it to arrange a wedding while doing a PhD?

C

I:m sure it's easy if you get someone else to do it for you

T

No on the contrary, I love the place! In fact I'm up there on Monday doing fieldwork for a week.

P

Ed you say Serville, I say Servilla. This for once is not me being dyslexic. Andulcian road sides have many variations of spelling and the correct pronounciation is sir vi ya, not ser-vil.

H

scamp....its very easy if all you have to do is turn up!

H

We still haven't decided and "he" is wanting to book it soon.

I also found out that we can only go for a max of 11 days as his friend is getting hitched within two weeks of us.

So far, spending a week in the Maldives but want a few days somewhere else, any ideas?

T

Bognor Regis?

H

hmmm, well I'm not ruling it out.

Maybe we can just do the week in Maldives and have a couple of weekends away in this country later on when wedding season has finished....

H

H - is it an arranged marriage? Feel free not to answer if that's a bit of a personal question.
