Title: Honey Mooning
Post by: Jamoe on May 25, 2005, 12:10:46 PM
Hello guys,

Some of you may not know but ill be getting hitched in August and I need to book the honeymoon. Problem is i can't decide where to go.

I'm not much into places like Ibiza or dopey little island that focus on nightlife. I much prefer places like lake garda/venice (where i proposed ;) ).

I wouldnt mind Tuscani but I think I would like to try somewhere a little less well known.

Any suggestions/recommendations?

edit: when I say "I", I mean "we" ;)

I went to Zermatt in Switzerland for my honeymoon. Beautiful scenery and you can nip into Italy for the day by going "over the hill" if you want - Mmmm, the house red was Barolo :cheers:

As you're on your honeymoon I can't see why the location is important ;)

Maybe he has to marry her, you never now...(thinks of a Godfather act where some bloke has to marry her for getting her pregnant).

Seems he's thinking of going outdoors on his honeymoon, sorry can't help out.
What do you both like to do on the honeymoon?

Went to St Lucia for mine.  Nice island but small and darn hot.  Wouldn't recommend if you were going for more than 1 week.

Went to the Dominican Republic for mine, all inclusive. Absolutely loved it, snorkelling, scuba-diving, sailing, party til dawn if you want to. Or lie beside the pool all day doing absolutely nothing.  :cheers:

Maybe a bit warm in August though but worth a thought

Have you considered Rhyl, Wales?

Especially in the summer, I think you'll love it!

We thought about doing a long haul to the caribbean for our honeymoon but decided to go short haul and ended up going to the island of Capri of the Amalfi coastline.

A. after the wedding we were both knacked and therefore glad not to go long haul
B. it's beautiful and it's very romantic.

FWIW, we stayed at the Capri Palace Hotel and loved it - the luxury combined with the superb spa was bliss.

or

It was a good few years back but even then it was something like £400 per night.

hth and congratz
