The Gambia - no freedom, high humidity and caught shigella flexneri! It was 16 years ago but all three of us remember with pure horror. Ann

I have to agree with Ann on this. I would never go back to the Gambia. We were in the middle of nowhere in what should have been an all inclusive hotel, but was only bed and breakfast. There was one restaurant out of the hotel but the locals would just grab you when you left wanting you to give them your shoes or clothes. The hotel was really expensive and wouldnt cash our travellers cheques. On the last night we witnessed a scary incident in which a man climbed the fence into the hotel dressed from head to toe in white and robbed someone while they were sleeping in the room below ours. He started heading towards us as we were watching him from the balcony and we ran into our room as we thought he was coming to attack us. Horrendous Natalia x

Some interesting answers coming up here. Personally I don't want to go back to the town that I was born and raised in. It's all changed drastically and I don't want my memories ruined.

Hi Dorothy - close. I was born in High Wycombe, moved out when I was 21 and will never go back.

Joan - that's a real shame as there are so really lovely places in the Algarve, but I do feel that it's getting over commercialised - I've been twice. If you're looking for somewhere nice then I would highly recommend Crete - we went to Rethymon and it was wonderful. Place I would never go to again - back to North Devon, I lived there for about 4 years and hated it. Kaye x

Romania - because I was almost arrested there for travelling somewhere I shouldn't have gone. Spain - having watched how bulls are slowly tortured to death for entertainment, I couldn't bear to go there again. Luton and Reading - confusing road systems. Scotland - apart from Edinburgh, which I loved and Glasgow, which I didn't like but it's my Grandmother's birthplace. It's just not the kind of scenery that appeals. CB >|<

In the underground houses in Turkey. We were in a queue underground and it was dark and very narrow in places. If anybody is like me and has claustrophobia, then don't do it. I had visions of getting stuck and not being able to go back because of the queue behind me - nightmares, oh yes! Sylvia xxx
