What’s your worst holiday experience, destination?

[hammocity]

My second worst ever holiday was my honeymoon in 1975! We'd booked a caravan on Anglesey, Red Wharf Bay, but a month before the wedding my car, a mark 2 Cortina, was nicked. My dad took us down there on the Sunday, but we were limited to close to the site, as public transport was very sketchy. Still, we had other things to keep us amused. ;-))
Then Sunday night I started with the shits! It must have been amusing for other holidaymakers to see the curtains of a newly wedded couple closing on a regular basis, but the reality was that the toilet was fitted in the broom cupboard, and I couldn't shut the door properly as my knees kept pushing it open, so closing the curtains was the only option.
I phoned my dad on Tuesday night to tell him of my plight, and Wednesday asked him to come and pick us up as I was really ill. Thursday saw me at the doctors, where I got some medication to slow it down, and I was fine by weekend. I'd lost half a stone in 4 days! We laughed about it for years, but at the time it was a nightmare.
Fast forward 35 years, to my worst ever holiday. On holiday in the Dordogne, my wife died in my arms.
it doesn't get worse than that.

I didn't like because of your post, just did it out of respect, really sad but an enduring post.

Thats it! Proper shithole. We took my kids and a few of their mates last minute on a 5 day caravan break. Mrs came up for a night and that’s all she lasted. Best bit was me getting her up on stage with something called Freddie the fox and this feature singing “doing the Mexican wave” to her like something out of Hi di hi. imagine Dawn Ward dressed to the nines dancing with a Cumbrian dressed as a fox and you get a good picture of it.

She reminded me that the year before we had been having a meal at hotel denaiellis in Venice!!

I am Cumbrian and I feel sorry for the girl, Silloth is a dated shit hole and the scariest thing is, it is probably heaving with happy punters.

Still, it could have been worse for her.

This stuffed fox gets stuck on the centre spot before every home game and when I was a boy it was an old guy called twinkle toes who used to run out with it lol

I dream of winning the lottery and moving abroad.

In my childhood it was Towyn and the caravan park/camp sites.

Fucking shithole and it pissed down all the time

Haha Towyn.

Went there about 25 years ago with the lads, as one of them had a caravan there.

Copped off with a bird from Manchester who was a mad city fan, but then later got caught on security camera getting sucked off by her outside the entrance of her caravan park.

We went again about 6 months later and i bumped into the same bird (turns out she went there pretty much every weekend), so i made a bee-line to her hoping for a repeat performance.
She says to me 'bet you don't even remember my name, do you?'
Me started to rack my brains, and remembered her whole family were mad city fans and her name was something City related, so i plumped for 'Francis'.
'No its Allison' she said, and i got promptly blown out.
But all was good as i ended up banging one of her mates the night after.

Tunisia. Just don’t do it, cannot say a good word about the place.

Seen a few negative comments about Tunisia. I have been twice, both 30 years or so ago, and quite enjoyed it both times.

Wouldn't make my list of the top 20 countries to visit but it wasn't that bad. It must have changed for the worse.

Your posts have a Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas vibe going on.

Bluemoon's very own Hunter S Thompson.

Wouldn't swap my 20's for anything they were absolute madness and chaos. As my missus says, ''you could write a book''

Very very different life these days and I wouldn't swap that either! I'm glad I got to experience both.

A week in Sunny beach Bulgaria in 1985 what a strange place.

Lads football club holiday, 15 of us, drunk every minute, my breakfast was 4 boiled eggs, double espresso with double whisky.
Bungee jumped every day, so many jumps I screwed my eyes
Remember rabid raby dogs, dancing bears on beach, mafia with leather jackets at every bar, drink and food cheap as fuck. Fat Cats restaurant and the steak eating challenge, one of my best holidays ever. So many years ago

You should definitely have your own thread summarising your holiday experiences!!
