What is your Best Holiday Ever?

In terms of ‘bang for buck’ I think Peru stands out; but for sheer out-of-this-world experience Antarctica takes the biscuit – you haven’t lived until you’ve scudded around the ‘bergs in Queen Wilhelmina Bay. Antarctica is great for wildlife, and you can get up real close to the seals and penguins, almost as good as getting up real close to the mountain gorillas in Rwanda. Crossing the Sahara was a real adventure but perhaps not as special as unexpectedly ending up travelling on a barge down the Rio Negro to Manaus. In terms of friendliness of the people and the local culture Burma was amazing (as was Rwanda, Burundi and Zaire (at least the bit I was in)). As for cities, you can’t beat Buenos Aires, Tokyo and Paris. I’m not really a hotel person but I have warm memories of the Hotel Fundador in Santiago and the l’Auberge de la Quatr’Heurie in Bèze.
 
I'll recomend two:

South Africa -Brilliant

China -Beijing and Shanghai
