We've had a very stressful time and DP suggested the other day that he wishes we could go on holiday. We went to Rome last September and it did both of us a world of good. Money is very tight, but I think we should be able to manage a short cheap break somewhere. I've been looking at holidays on the internet but (due to aforementioned stressful time) my brain is all over the place and I can't seem to find anything suitable. Help me, all-knowing mumsnet brain!
I'm not fussy as to country of destination. A bit of sun would be nice, but not a must. DP and I aren't hard-partying sun adoring beach people though, so I've been discounting places like the costa del sol, I just don't think I'd like it. Neither of us drive, and we both like to be able to go out and do/see something, so realistically we're probably looking at a European city break of some description. Accomodation wise, somewhere clean and comfortable to sleep for two adults. Not bothered about board level, anything from self-catering to all-in goes. Preferably not too high on the grim soviet era concrete scale (I wouldn't have thought that needed specifying but when I asked a travel agent for a week in Rome last year he told me it couldn't be done on my budget and instead I could go to Budapest for 5 days and stay in aforementioned concrete monstrosity...Needless to say I politely declined and went elsewhere). Quite flexible on dates, any time in the next two months or so could probably work.
Any suggestions gratefully received.
