Favourite country?

Now thats interesting, you don't hear much about Slovenia on this type of forum. Whats it like for prices and O/N parking Bob?
Have to agree those Austrian lakes look stunning too.

We stayed on a campsite right on Lake Bohinj, we were there in high season so prices were about average for the whole trip. In itself Slovenia wasn't expensive, just a really nice place. Friendly people, fantastic scenery and not many tourists!

Not sure about wilding over there though, probably easy enough but we were with friends who were unable to do so, so we didn't.

Their coast (all few miles of it) is disappointing though. Highly recommend the various caves though..

We have been to Greece, Morocco, Norway, Sweden,Finland,Denmark,Germany,Italy,Switzerland, Austria, Holland,Belgium,France, Portugal ,Italy and of course England ,Scotland and Wales in our van and have loved every Country equally, We wild camp and use Aires where ever we can and have never had a problem anywhere, we have been travelling for the last 12 years off and on and love it. If I had to make a choice of countries which I liked best I don't think I could. Poland, Hungary,etc. are on the list for sometime but don't know when as we don't really make plans,we just go.
 
hi. well having visited many countries in the eu and further .as malc says they are all nice in different ways but uk is possibly my favourite place . it as allwhat we see abroad .maybe smaller but with a bit of imagination its big. the flowers the green etc .many dont have it . we have mountains lakes and lovely vast moors . the atlantic coast is fantastic .the channel is great for snorkelling . plus we have lots of historical places . just a shame the weather isnt drier and warmer in winter but then it would lose so much.
 
For me it's France I just love it.

I love the wine, the food and the scenery.

I can also speak a little of the lingo.

I'm going to buck the trends and say Holland. I like the people there; very layed back. I'm not so keen on the Latin blooded cultures, they are always shouting, making noise and fuss about nothing!

The scenery is not the most spectacular but the food is nice with the East Indian influences and the cities full of interest and wonderful buildings.
 
I guess we all have different reactions to various countries. Unlike Haaamster we find Germans rude & aloof, the Dutch friendly but agree that the Belgians can appear a "little lost" at times, though generally pleasant. We found Hungarians & Croats generally rude, ignorant & dishonest (thats about the best we can say for them) but with some exceptions in Croatia (not Hungary).

The most interesting, different,charming & unexpectedly helpful were the Bosnians, the true Bosniacs that is & NOT the Croat/Serb mob; we hope to return.

I'm sorry to read of Italian problems but unfortunately quite typical. We spend more time there than anywhere else but you must have your wits about you 99.9% of the time. I too am worried about possible anti-Brit attitudes in Greece & Spain (not been back since 2009) but no such problems in Italy.
 
I love France for its MH facilities. Spain for its Sun, Sea and beaches. Switzerland and Austria for its outstanding beauty (mountainwise) Germany for its precision, exactness and quality (generally speaking) Goa, in India, for the smiles and friendliness of its people although they are so poor. Africa for its illustrious wildlife. All in all, the world is a beautiful place no matter where you may go. The secret, is to enjoy it the best way you can, using mind, thoughts, feelings, sight, hearing, touch and able to hold those wonderful memories as you wait your turn to pass into oblivion.
 
i've lived and worked a few places and liked them but none of them compare with britain. i'm not being jingoistic,just realistic.this place is perfect.not too hot not too cold,not too corrupt,but it is a bit,we have the daily mail and private eye magazine.we have beautiful countryside and beaches and hundreds of years of culture.when you're sat in some hot hot place in winter and the flies are driving you crazy and everywhere is dusty and brown.been there done that and it was great.glad to be back though.and they speak my lingo here!bonus!
 
I agree with everybody (now there's a first! ;)). In short, my favourite country is the one I happen to be in at the time - never visited a country I wouldn't want to go back to (added them up and it comes to over 60). The sad thing is that I still have about two-thirds of the world to visit and time is running out!

Have you been on the cooking sherry again Rob :confused: wrong thread :scared: :lol-049: :lol-049:
 
I love islands and Im more than half way through visiting all the Scottish isles. But Greece is the place for island hoping. Done all the canaries most of the Caribbean Majorca was my first and still remember hiring a bike and getting of the beat and track. But the best island by far is Sicily would love to take the van one day
