Can't possibly pick a favourite, they were all fab. Here's a few words on each destination:
Faro - deserted, no one golfs in January. Peaceful. Best €90 lunch and Jim was allowed to smoke a cigar in the restaurant.
Lake District - lambs, daffodils and a country cottage for Easter and we hiked a mountain.
Morocco - Took us one day to get out of Spain and on the right ferry. Hot. Markets and souks are wild, staying in a Riad is the best way to go! 2am train in 2nd class with smoke, music, crowded with local men and no signs...adventure.
Paris - enjoyable the second time without having to hit all the museums
Belgium - Friends, incredible beer and bikes
Nice - Four days of sun and beach all summer. Beautiful, lots of wine, romantic.
Berlin - historic, The West Side Gallery, International Beer Festival!
Ireland - kissing the Blarney stone!
Edinburgh - gorgeous city, Fringe stand-up comedy festival
Copenhagen - Harbour tour and stairway to heaven church where you walk up the steeple on the outside!
Cotswold - so old and quaint, enjoying England with the parents
Munchen - Oktoberfest opening day speaks for itself!
Madrid - tapas, rioja wine, shown a great time by friends living there
Amsterdam - enjoying the city's delights, walking the canals, going to the movies in English
Prague - like a picture book. Hearty food. 5 story club with friends.
Budapest - thermal baths, nightlife, gorgeous river and Parliament lite up at night
Bremen - unexpectly gorgeous old city centre, authentic Christmas market. Family.
Hamburg - lakes in the middle of the city. Family.
Cambridge - pubs and punting!
A great year indeed.
