    Holiday suggestions?
    As anyone who has read my posts will know, I'm not having a great time with my relationship right now, so I have decided to book us a holiday for his birthday. Can anyone suggest some where cheap but romantic?
    Thanks

    Prague :) Cheap

    In English currency it a pint of Beer is roughly 20 pence.

    Its also a beautiful city and very romantic! I know flights are cheap in England! I assume your from england. If you need to know anymore leme know.

    My 5 day trip cost me only £400 quid with flights, food, drink, spending money and a 2 bed 4 star hotel. You could probably do it for cheaper. As I spent a lot of money on drink and eating out.

    Venice

    Bruge in Belgium is a beautiful, quiet, romantic city!

    I've been twice and I love the place!

    Good luck wherever you decide to go though!

    I have been to Amsterdam (Not romantic but a fantastic weekend!), Prague I have done (again not a romantic weekend but a beautiful place. I am from England and it is REALLY cheap from here). I'm thinking of a beach holiday so that there is nothing to do but lazearound through the day but some nice places to go at night (preferably without children as I'm hoping this will be one of our last few holidays without us having our own)

    In Malta and Gozo you are guaranteed nice sunny beach weather. And Islands are rather romantic ;)

    Woolacombe is nice, I wouldn't say it's a romantic get away though. But who knows I never went on hols with my ex. Good for camping, surfing and beach (massive) weather! Of course you have loads of nice places near by as well to visit to.

    Try venice or Google searching romantic get aways.

    The lilly langtree is well known romantic hotel in my area, try looking for that on Google.

    Lol, I don't fancy anything in England, its not so appealing when you live here. I want to escape the english weather! Malta was one of the ones I was going to look at. I just need to get some time away from him to book it, I want it ton be a surprise.

    I'm from Newcastle sadly, it it isn't any where near as nice here. I am going to Bouremouth over the summer though. I have family there and spent many a summer down there.

    Surely not as pale as Kate Beckensdale or Kirsten Dunst?

    You can fly to Malaga or Majorca on Easyjet from Newcastle!

    Want to bet? Where do you think the name English Rose came from? I couldn't look more British if I tried. Dark eyes, pale skin and light/fair brown hair (naturally).
