Where to go, where to go..
My wife and I have been looking at traveling a bit but we can't decide on a place to go to. We want somewhere inexpensive but amazing to go to (a tall order, I know), I have a few ideas but it is difficult to choose one.
The problem I don't want to sit with when traveling somewhere is the language barrier. I want to be able to communicate something in plain English to someone. I have a friend that recently went to Germany and lost her passport, the people there refused to speak English to her because she was not from there. It was quite a struggle for her just to get it sorted, which wouldn't have been a problem if she spoke the language.
The options
England
At the moment we have the option to go with the in-laws to England in June next year. The problem is that it will be quite expensive, the Pound is one of the most expensive currencies to exchange for the South African Rand.
Mozambique
It seems to be quite affordable to go there, the South African Rand is widely accepted in the southern parts of Mozambique. Another plus point is that it is just north of South Africa so it won't be a long flight to get there. The beaches looks amazing and the places where you can stay looks great.
Bali
I don't really know a lot about Bali, I only had one friend that went there once and he seemed to like it a lot. According to him the food and accommodation was cheap and amazing and he said that he would recommend it to anyone. As far as I know there is no special visa required to visit Bali which will make the travel arrangements a lot easier.
It is not easy choosing where to go, especially when it is going to cost you a lot of money and you don't know if it is going to be worth it. I don't like going blindly into the unknown, a website can make anything look amazing when done right.
So if you can recommend any places that are not to expensive but worth the visit please leave a comment as to why and where you would recommend.
