HOLIDAY NIGHTMARES

Going on holiday is supposed to be a fun and relaxing break from everyday life, but things don’t always
go to plan. We asked readers to tell us about their holiday nightmares.

Sally, Glasgow

‘We booked a cheap and cheerful package holiday with a well-known travel company. We expected to
spend a week relaxing by the pool, but the holiday started badly and didn’t improve! First, the flight
was delayed for five hours. Then, when we got there, we had to wait ages at the airport for the bus to
come and take us to the hotel. Finally, just when we thought things couldn’t get any worse, we arrived
at the hotel and saw that part of it was still a building site!’

Derek, Manchester

‘We rented a holiday cottage through a home-sharing website. First, we forgot the address so it took
a long time to find the place. Then, when we finally got there, the owner wasn’t there to give us the
keys; she was shopping in the next town! We called her, but she didn’t speak any English, and didn’t

21
understand the French we were trying to speak. She eventually arrived, but when she opened the door
of the cottage, we saw that the cottage was infested with frogs!’

Gabriella , Cardi

‘When I was backpacking around South America, I took a ten-hour bus trip. I was having a great time,
until they served lunch. About an hour later, everyone got food poisoning and the toilet on the bus
didn’t work! Then it started to rain really heavily and the bus broke down in a flood – we had to wait
for four hours for a replacement bus! While we were waiting, I got bitten by a spider. Luckily there was
a first aid kit on the bus!’
