Had an email yesterday from a very well known boating holiday company. A 4 berth Thames cruiser is now "only" ?1,756 for 7 days. For that money my wife and I along with our 2 daughters could fly to South Africa and spend a week there.
Eco huggieness aside lets think.....a boat on the Thames or Cape Town......mmmmmmmmmm, hard choice.
Oh, and before anyone says I should holiday here. We are this year, 1 week in a National Trust house. Luckily the in-laws are paying as there is no way we could afford it.
