Advantages: Vibrant, plenty to do, fantastic people Disadvantages: crime
hear the stories that come out, and I will not deny them I have been a victim more than once myself but such is the world we live in and you could just as easily come across the same problems in your own country.
Anyway back to what there is to do in Johannesburg. Firstly where to stay. Here you have many choices, my recommendation would most likely be Sandton (please note that when travelling to Johannesburg it is very different to other countries in the sense you don't actually stay in the city itself but in the surrounding suburbs), with its vast amount of hotels there is plenty to choose from, and something for everyones budgets. From your basic cityLodge or Southern Suns to the Hyatt. Sandton gives you easy access to the rest of Johannesburg, it is roughly about 40 minutes from the airport (if there is no traffic).

We were all in high spirits and enjoying our food and refreshments, I dropped the bombshell that I wanted to see the house, they did try to dissuade me as they were now getting slightly tired and wanted to do a little retail ...

Advantages: Nice lodges, fantastic hot tubs! Disadvantages: Surrounding area not so good
Drummohr Lodges are situated on the Firth of Forth, near Musselburgh, Scotland. The park is approx 8 miles from Edinburgh.
I came across Drummohr Lodges while browsing through the Hoseasons brochure last year. I was looking for somewhere new to visit for a short break with my partner for his birthday in November, and having stayed in a few Hoseasons holiday parks previously and always finding them to be really nice, I didn't really want to look elsewhere.
We do like to stay in lodges, preferably ones with hot tubs! So this was a particular requirement when looking through the various holiday parks in the brochure.
We decided on Drummohr Lodges as we thought it looked nice and was also not far from Edinburgh which we wanted to visit. Plus, some of the lodges also had hot tubs! So we booked a Mon - Fri break.
We drove up the A1 from ...
