Dream Island Destinations

[biggs682]

For as many years as i can remember my dream Island destination would always be Tobermory on the Isle of Mull which i have visited a couple of times.

Last week my stepson informed me and his mum that he had been invited to go and stay at the Bagus Place retreat on the Tioman Island just of the coast of Malaysia (https://www.agoda.com/en-gb/bagus-place-retreat/hotel/tioman-island-my.html?cid=-217 ).

When we googled it and saw some of his pictures last night i think it might well give the Isle of Mull a run for its money .

What other dream Island resort do we have amongst the cc members

 

[marinyork]

Lampedusa. Although Linosa has an extinct Volcano which any self-respecting person could make a hollowed out Volcano Lair from.

 

[Welsh wheels]

Birmingham

 

[Profpointy]

Skye; been there many times, most recently on my honeymoon. Orkney is also a contender after almost annual diving trips.

 

[Sharky]

Went to the IOM for the cycle week in '69 and really enjoyed it, but have never gone back. Often think about going back, but I don't think the cycling aspects will be quite the same now.

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

Britain. Once we get rid of all the Groovanians and their donkeys that invaded a few years ago, obvs.

Never heard of them, are they the same as the Groovenians? I'd never hard of them either. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Groovenians

 

[vickster]

Somewhere hot and sunny. Java maybe

 

[snorri]

The Black Isle.

 

[Brandane]

Isle of Bute, where Brandanes come from!
I'm at work in Largs just now and can see it from the window. When it's not hidden by the rain, obviously.

 

[petek]

Samos ( The Island of Pythagorus), my all time favourite Greek Island and truly beautiful.

 

[Brandane]

I have lived on, or near, islands all my life.
Jamaica for 7 years of my youth. That would count as a dream island, and it was back in the day. Too dangerous now to be of much attraction.
Also lived in the Seychelles (with parents, my father was tax inspector) briefly in the late 70's. They are certainly dream islands, beautiful and all that, but unless I win the lottery a repeat visit will remain a dream!

 

[Bonefish Blues]

Harris is beautiful, and its beaches are the equal of anywhere I've been, including the Bahamian Out Islands that I've been fortunate to visit on many occasions (fishing gets you around, see )

That wasn't some nobber cocking up being a smart arse was it?

 

[Beebo]

Canvey Island, once they declare independence.
