My own favorite holidays/vacations:
Kyoto - Not diving
Rome - Not diving
Paris - Eating crepes
Brussels - Eating waffles
Neuschwanstein - Mad King found dead in lake. (Before I got there).
Originally posted by @ghost-of-a-dukeHottest temperature in a place where I have lived was 45 degrees C amid the concrete, steel and tarmac of Perth, Australia (but it was a dry heat ~ there were a few nights of frost each year, too).
Not sure I could handle the heat of a Greek Island, but coastal walks in the English West Country sounds splendid. (Would need to take the dog though).
The hottest (feeling) I have experienced in a place where I have lived was West Papua on the frontier of the tropical rainforest wilderness where it was often 36 degrees C but, crucially, almost 100% humidity (and it was probably about 24 degrees C in the middle of the night too).
The most extreme variation I have experienced was in rural Japan where it could be minus 10 degrees C of a morning in winter and an enervating and muggy 34 degrees C in the summer.
My native Britain was very temperate by comparison.
