It doesn't have to be a bike trip at all. Actually, I think I'd prefer it not to be. It just has to be WARM and SUNNY with stuff to do for a month.

Any ideas ??

I am currently considering the Canary Islands (Tenerife) for some Scuba diving. Maybe hiring a small bike over there to zip about on.

I really need to do this on £1000 for EVERYTHING.... For ONE month.

CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERS

Ted have a look see at these might give you an idea

I was about to book the flights when I found that I have to apply for a VISA and get it BEFORE I leave. What a pain. It takes 14 days too.

I aint booking a flight before I've got a VISA.

The VISA is £50 too. Cheeky.

I see original post was a while ago now but if you do go to goa - check out this guy - Freddy Furtado. M .9689466287 or 9049915985 based near Betal Batim - I got a 220 cc Bajaj from him last year for £4 a day - He said that if we ever go again he could also sort out accommodation. The bike may seem small but was perfectly adequate even two up. You would be hard pushed to go much faster than 40 Mph on the roads in Goa.

Tunisia.

I've just been there for Christmas (not on a bike though). Sunny if not hot but a friendly place, desperate for tourists (no one is going there at the moment making it a great destination) Fantastic Roman remains. Great paved roads all over the place (plus as much sand as you want) AND you can visit a Star Wars set! What more could you want.

Vote 2 for Tunisia. But it's now well into Jan and so you've probably left already, making the exercise academic!!

We've just booked up tix for a mth in Sri Lanka, going out early March
