Thanks for all the advice, done a bit of research online and Budapest is the current favourite. Seems very affordable and hotel/flights currently coming up around £200-220 for both of us which is very good value too.
St Malo. Train to Portsmouth from Waterloo and get the overnight ferry. Watch England slip away and feel you are actually travelling with none of the bollocks you have to go through at airports, then a few drinks looking out to sea and off to your cabin. Wake up in Brittany for coffee and croissants in the walled town.

Take sandwiches as in my experience the food there is foul.
Some wonderful places to stay and squillions of things to do. You'd save money on travel to spend on other things.
I'm not even sure you would save money. Hotels in Prague/Budapest are coming up at around £100 for 3 nights. Last time I had a trip in the UK, it cost me £105 for 2 nights in a dingy B & B.

Cant see why there is such a love-in for Prague. Admittedly is was 10 years ago, but when I was there we were continuously being "coerced" into bars where there was a knocking shop attached & even our 5 star hotel had 2 prostitutes sitting outside the lifts (in the full view & knowledge of the staff) propositioning the male guests as we went up to our room in the evening.
Might have all changed now seeing as the prostitutes are now all over here. Perhaps this should be in the EU influence thread.

Prague is a wonderful city.
Have been there twice now and both times have not seen either a stag party or a whorehouse.

Wasn’t my experience with Prague at all, went in the same time period too. Beautiful city.
Good number on the blame the EU bingo there though, had to cross threads to get it.

Some really good deals from British Airways if you do a combined flight/hotel package.
The city is stunning though. I especially liked the statue park where they'd taken all the communist statues and friezes.

Sure a beer was 3.50 euro, both really nice places as well.
