What a great holiday tale! Thanks! Hope you find an affordable boat for next year.
We feel so lucky that we bought into a syndicate boat the summer of 2019. Yes, we did ‘lose’ a couple of weeks during the lockdowns, but we have had far more holiday weeks away from home than most people have managed over the last 18 months. I’ve spoken to several work colleagues over the last few weeks who have not not been able to get away this summer on holiday because they couldn’t find anything affordable.
We feel slightly guilty as we have another holiday to look forward to. This time a week booked in September with other family members in a self-catering property. We were originally booked to stay there in May last year, then changed that to May this year, but had to push it back again due to rules about multiple households staying together. I’m sure that a lot of holiday accommodation has been ‘pre-booked’ by others who have had the option of postponing bookings, so that’s probably fuelled the shortage of holiday accommodation too. As for us, we are hoping it will be ‘third time lucky’ and that we’ll actually get there this time.
