Most people have experienced the excitement that builds up when you are waiting to go on holiday, from the moment you book to arriving at the airport. Then it happens. Your flight is delayed, the hotel is overbooked and you get moved to a second rate hostel, the weather is worse than at home and someone pinches all your euros. For all of us who have stayed at home for our holiday this year, let us delight in the misfortune of others who were so smug before they set off but were laughing on the other side of their faces when they returned with less of a tan than they set off with.
“Our holiday was going swimmingly until we arrived at our hotel. Our window faced onto a building site, the toilet was constantly blocked and the bed linen was covered in some very questionable stains.The couple staying there before us must have had a very good holiday, if you know what I mean.”
“We booked into a naturist resort by accident. My mother in law was not amused to say the least.“
“The beginning and the end of our holiday was terrible. First our taxi was late picking us up so we missed our flight. When we finally arrived at our hotel, it turned out they had over booked our room and so we were moved to a disgusting hotel down the road.Our room had a single bed and a camp bed.The final kick in the teeth was that our luggage was sent to Heathrow and we flew into Edinburgh.”
“We stayed on an island that was postcard picture worthy. The only problem was, it was infested with insects that crawled all over the beach, the sun beds, they got into the bedroom and bathroom and everywhere. This holiday is one to forget.“
