Winter Sun? - Page 2

Cypr... oh wait!

It is sunny, but don't expect it to be hot sunny or beach sunny.

I'd need to check a few things but drop me a mail and I may be able to sort something out for you in terms of property.

Morocco is absolutely amazing, I loved it - but speaking French and broken Arabic does help a lot.

I'll stick in Mauritius. Never been but it looks stunning and Nov/Dec is their summer!

Average temp of 28 degrees C

No malaria

Although it may be slightly further than 6 hours

There won't be many places that will be bikini weather north of the tropic of cancer really.

Morocco gets to the 20s as does Cyprus - but it gets bitterly cold at night (single figures). The Sahara freezes at night in some places then races up to 40+ within 10 minutes of sunrise!

The North coast of Africa is the best bet if you want "hot" weather. Cyprus will be warm, but pleasantly, and of course there is rain during that time of the year.

Malta is another option.

If you can afford it, the Azores and Cape Verde are supposed to be nice as is Madeira (though not sure on the english tourist thing there) but it does have a lot of fascinating history.

English tourist thing will be fine in Madeira - my parents wouldn't feel happy going back there year after year if that wasn't the case. Like most places, background crime has picked up in recent years sadly but that's mainly the locals, not British thugs. The worst that will probably happen is you'll get approached by a string of timeshare salesmen when you head into Funchal. Just send them on their way.

Will has summed things up very well.

Cape Verde is quite new as a mainstream resort for package holidays so you may have a dickhead problem there.

You won't get bikini weather much outside of the Caribbean at that time of year, Canaries and t'Egypt can be passable but it's a bit hit and miss and I've never had much love for the Canaries anyway to be honest.

I'm going to Mexico in October, will still be hot then! I got flights for £455, you might be able to go for less as its later in the year.

Keep going back to looking at Sri Lanka, think I might be selling myself on it

I think we've settled on somewhere, a holiday I will refer to as a "Peter Andre Special"!
