Really? Something not to expensive, off the beaten path, and with nice beaches and climate.

Coming from somewhere with magnificent sights and beaches my standards are quite high, but i'm a big sick of visiting cities while on vacation and returning home even more tired.

:D It's funny cos its true. Dubrovnik is very nice, it is a city, but it is only small and there is loads of coast and islands and stuff to do.

I'd love to visit Chernobyl also. I'm obsessed with things like that.

I took a look at 3 mile Island one time in PA.. The morbid curiosity almost became too much.

Even though I can't stand Campbell that article he did about 'Scooby Doo island' was really really cool.

Me and my friends 'entered' an old mental facility in Milford on sea once that had been closed for 20 years. Was creepy as all hell.

I've got a mate that used to work night shifts as a security guard in an abandoned asylum. The toilet was on the third floor, and there was no power to most of the building, so it was torches all the way. Nice.

There's an old abandoned asylum a few miles from me, and this is one of the solitary rooms:

Granted, it was painted that way as an art exhibition, but it's still creepy as shit

Rhodes was nice when I went a few years ago. If you're able to go out of school holidays (I have no idea whether you have kids or are a teacher) then it's not massively expensive and you might be able to get something last minute. Zante's meant to be nice too.

One of my colleagues has just got back from Gambia and another from Morocco, both of which are meant to be lovely.

That's for the tips Ange. I've been already to Morocco, so that's out of question. Rhodes is a good suggestion, i've already thought about that, and greek islands in general.

The problem is that here, every one goes to Portuguese ex-colonies on vacations, so everything besides Brazil and Africa is way too expensive. And if i go on holidays, i want to hear foreign languages, otherwise it won't feel like holidays.

So, simply - no going to the toilet, then?

that's what i've been telling myself. This is the beach i usually go, and it's better than every other i've been abroad.

i think i'm going to azores. I was not conviced since it seems like ireland with more mountains and less monuments, and no beaches. But it's got cheap flights. And they speak foreign anyway,

Stay at home on your cool beach and spend the money on a 360 instead.
