    Loire Valley and Brittany, France

    The beautiful coast line of Brittany and the ancient villages and towns of the wine regions of Loire Valley make this an ideal place for a road-trip and easily accessible from England, by ferry. Wonderful rustic french food and of course the excellent wines from this region add to charm.

    Here is a article about this beautiful part of France:

    The Rock of Gibraltar

    British, but next to Spain

    Gibraltar is a fascinating place with a very strange rock-formation and a very interesting political history, with cultural and culinary influences from Britain, Spain and Morocco. Gibraltar is a British territory, but has different tax-laws to the U.K. and occupies a militarily crucial location; a huge rocky peninsular at the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea (The "Rock of Gibraltar") adjacent to Spain and just a few miles from the north coast of Morocco. The Rock is occupied by a kind of tailless Macaque monkey often referred to as "Barbary Apes" or "The Apes of Gibraltar".

    Italy

    Pisa, Italy

    Pisa is famous for its leaning tower and is fairly large city near the coast in northern Italy, but is also near the culturally wonderful cities of Florence and Sienna and the many medieval hill towns of Tuscany and the Chianti wine regions. A perfect starting point for a driving holiday.

    European Food

    The variety and quality of food in Europe is second to none; England, which gained a bad reputation several decades ago and has failed to shake it off, is now one of the best places to eat in the world, although you can still find dodgy food anywhere in Europe if you look for it or fall into the usual tourist traps.

    Portion sizes are tiny compared to America... usually (Photo: Sea food platter in France)

    The Berlin Wall and Other Attractions

    Berlin is most famous for the Berlin Wall, which is certainly an interesting and thought provoking thing to see, especially now after the 20th Anniversary of the Wall coming down, but Berlin has a lot to offer in terms of art and history, food and culture. Berlin is also now very popular as a Stag Party and drinking destination, particularly with British visitors.
