On the other hand, I do get 5 weeks of paid vacation per year -- far more than most. The question though is what to do with it? Last year, we embarked on a series of weekend city breaks: Leeds, Stockholm, Copenhagen, and Lisbon. These turned out to be ideal holidays for us: A couple of days of ambling round a city, doing a little bit of design-led shopping, lots of drinks in bars, and some good meals out. We're not really the sight-seeing type, and museums need to be very interactive to entice my beyond the obligatory shop/cafe. Does this make me a bad person?
So, thoughts for city breaks this year:
Aberdeen (largely to use up some BMI points) and the surrounding countryside.
Italy: Milan, Venice, or Florence.
Berlin.
Oslo.
Rekyjavik.
As you can see, we don't do hot countries and prefer flights of about 2 hours max. Some culture, decent architecture, and good food help. And we've done Nice/Paris/Barcelona/Madrid to death. All suggestions gratefully received.
