Hi all!

I'm trying to decide where to go for Christmas. My top 3 at the moment are Iceland, Marrakech and Sicily.

Anyone been or have any other suggestions?

I went to Oxford last year, which was fine, but the majority of people were twice my age and not very mobile.

Many thanks

B

Hi

I have booked to go to Saltzburg...thought a touch of snow and a visit to the mountains would make a nice change from the wet Christmas we get in the UK....

Hello Bridget,

Two Christmas holidays I can strongly recommend are Salzberg and Lake Bled. This year I have booked New Year in Iceland. Not much to choose between two available dates, but fireworks at midnight appealed!

Regarding 'mobility', I am now well into my 70s but can still out-walk most people. It is not about age but fitness. This is probably why JY are now (thankfully) giving clearer guidance on amount and difficulty of any walking involved.

Very true David. It was the total opposite when I went to Sorrento. The age range was 24 to 82 (I was the 2nd youngest) and everyone got on so well. I was one of the least fit!!

Have to say I'm not keen on snow but Iceland really appeals.

The Marrakech hotel looks stunning.

Decisions, decisions!

PA, you do make me a bit jealous - would love to visit Australia one of these days when I have plenty of money and time! I am sure you will have a great time.

Sicily now all booked 🙂

Will be interested to know what it's like Steve. Do you stay at the same hotel (Hotel Excelsior Palace in Taormina)? I doubt pools would be useable at Christmas time.
