2, one good one bad
Good: Being in Africa for two weeks on a Black Rhino project for EarthWatch (go if you can - look at Kenyas Black Rhinos at www.earthwatch.org) best experience of my life, walking in the bush looking for Rhinos, then finding one a shitting your pants as you run away! We Stayed in a Research Station in a Game Park, most peaceful place I've ever been.

Bad: Camping in France for a month (May) it rained solidly for 3 days until we got to a campsite near the border with a pretty lake. Then I got I'll and my wife drove for the day with me giving directions and shivering with a fever. Spent 5 days Too ill to move. Then Finally felt better in Carcasone. I remeber it clearly, we were waling around the inside of the outer wall deciding where to have lunch, My Wife's mobile rang, it was her mother calling to tell us her brother (my best friend) had been totalled in a Motorcycle accident, he was in Hospital in a coma and not expected to live.

We had daily updates for 3 days until he finally died. We heard at 8pm one evening. After crying for a while I turned to my wife and said "I think I'd like to go home now" we packed up at 7am and were back in London for 11pm the same day. Shit holiday.
