My personal preference is Spain, but southern France would work for me too. I don't mind Cyprus, but sadly now it is merely an offshore playground for Russian criminals.Originally posted by mudskipper View PostWhere would you suggest?
I'm sure there's lots of other places. Further afield, rural areas of New Zealand (the top of the North Island for better weather) near the beach.
