A Great Holiday On The Water

Holidays are becoming more and more exhilarating. We are
all looking for new experiences that we can tell our
friends about and if they can make us use our minds and
bodies rather than just lie on a beach cooking. What is
different?

Why not try boats; there are so many to choose from and
each one offers a completely new and unique holiday. Why
not read through the following ideas and see if anything
strikes a chord?

Canal boats: These are particularly popular in the UK
where the canals are mostly clean and well kept (even those
going through large cities) and you have the chance to see
beautiful unspoilt countryside and visit lots of towns that
are close by. These boats are called 'narrow boats' and are
very long and narrow. The canals themselves are only
between three and four metres wide and therefore in order
for two boats to pass they have to be very narrow indeed.
They are, however, well equipped with modern boats having
showers and a full kitchen. Some are beautifully decorated
on the outside also and are a real joy to behold and to
stay in. Boats for rivers and for the Norfolk Broads in the
UK are wider and more of the expected build of a boat. The
Broads are a wonderful set of waterways that cut through
some of the most lovely countryside in East Anglia and go
right out to the sea at Great Yarmouth. There are lots of
forms of wild life to see and lovely English pubs that you
can moor alongside in order to sample English beer and pub
food.

If you would like to experience the canals but would like
the chance of warmer weather, you will also find a canal
system in Burgundy, France. This holiday would be wonderful
for wine connoisseurs as the canals run through the heart
of the wine making country and there are opportunities to
'drop' off to sample the local produce in the towns and
villages along the way.

If, however, you feel that these holidays would be a bit
on the slow side there are many companies who will hire all
sorts of craft to trip round the Mediterranean. You have
the chance of having tuition during the first week or, if
you are experienced, you can take the yacht or boat
straight away. This gives you complete freedom to visit the
wonderfully sophisticated resorts of the south of France or
perhaps the Greek islands. The wonderful thing about these
holidays is that you could repeat it exactly the following
year, but it would be totally different. It's a perfect
mixture for the active; you can have speed and the
exhilaration of being on the water combined with chance to
weigh anchor and relax whenever you like; you can see new
sights and eat in different places each evening. This is a
really healthy way of holidaying!

If you want to move further afield there are similar
holidays based in the Caribbean. The world is literally
your oyster!
