25 Summer Holidays for under 500
Cheap doesnt have to mean nasty and weve got the proof in our
guide to the best of budget travel
A weeks holiday in Europe this summer, madam? For less than 500 per person? No problem
at all. I have a wide range of tower blocks on the Spanish beaches and plenty of second-rate
hotels in a noisy resort. Oh, you wanted cheap and nice? Gentle Mediterranean countryside,
quiet sandy beaches, authentic villages and the scent of bougainvillea on all sides? Thats different.
Thats a challenge.
In fact, most travel agents wont take the trouble to find those things, but we know it can be done
for that money and often for much less. This is by means of self-catering options that are usually
arranged through agencies if the one you want has gone, the company will have others to choose
from and all hotels have reasonable availability in the summer.
10
Prices are per person, and were correct at the time of going to press. Flight prices are especially
subject to change, and are expected to rise as summer approaches.

97 Scotland for the Family

For cottages in the UK, the best way to get a bargain is often to avoid the tourist destinations
in favour of less familiar but just as lovely areas. In Scotland, Perthshire is the big attraction,
but the lovely valleys of Angus, next door, are often overlooked and they are so much less
crowded. In pretty Glen Isla, Ecosse Unique (01835 822277, www.unique-cottages.co.uk)
has Braefoot Cottage, a comfortable modernised house sleeping four in three bedrooms.
Loch Lintrathen is 100 metres away, delightful Kirriemuir a few minutes drive. In the peak
season, its just 385 a week.
25
115 Uncrowded Cumbria

The Lake District is full of visitors in summer, but just outside it,
and just as beautiful, is the Eden Valley and The Stag Inn, at Dufton,
which dates back to 1703. Its excellent walking country, right on
the Pennine Way, near High Cup Gill. The old stable block next to
The Stag Inn is now a smart two-bedroom cottage, sleeping four and
available for 460 in the summer peak with Cumbrian Cottages
(01228 599960, www.cumbrian-cottages.co.uk).
30
119 Rustic Dordogne

If youre content to live the simple life, the Dordogne can be surprisingly cheap. Bouquier is an
old detached stone cottage at the edge of a tiny village. No swimming pool, but who needs one
when theres a good river swimming nearby? Sleeping four, it costs just 421 for the week from
23 August with Cottages4you (0870 078 2100, www.cottages4you.co.uk) and that includes the
Dover-Calais ferry crossing.

AT 83, SHES STILL DIVING FOR RESEARCH
[X]
Killing time on a Saturday morning while her mother was at work, a primary school girl
wandered through an aquarium in Manhattan. She pressed her face into the glass and thought
she had never seen anything so fascinating and mysterious as the sharks and other sh gliding
through murky green water.
Educational Background
At 83, Eugenie Clark has not changed her mind. She is about to return this weekend from
a research dive trip in the Solomon Islands, where she was studying foot-long, eel-shaped
convict sh. Despite the fact that few people were encouraging young women to go into
science when Clark grew up in the 1930s and 40s, she received a doctorate in zoology from
New York University, became founding director of what is now the Mote Marine Laboratory in
Sarasota, and taught marine science at the University of Maryland for more than 20 years.
10
[ 11 ]
She has taken rides on the backs of whale sharks, dived to the depths in tiny submarines and
learned to recognize the distinctive smell of coral reproducing. What really excites Clark, who
lives in Sarasota and still conducts research through Mote, is any new chance to unravel a
mystery underwater. I just love puzzles, especially when they deal with sh, she says.
15
[ 12 ]
Such as the time she searched and searched for males of a certain type of grouper, before
discovering adult sh in the species have both genders. Or her current obsession: learning why
convict sh spend their entire adult lives hidden in tunnels within coral reefs, while their young
swim about outside.
20
8809-2238
[ 13 ]
Its so fascinating, and Im just so sorry I probably wont live long enough to learn all the things I
want to know about this sh, she said. One of her rst great opportunities came in 1949, when
she applied for a government grant to study and identify sh, especially poisonous ones, in
Micronesia. Some thought it unlikely that the government would be willing to send a single
woman around the Pacic collecting sh. Life would be too dicult in most places: tropical
diseases and the heat might get a girl down, she wrote later.
25
Becoming an Author
But she got the grant and travelled to the South Seas. She wrote a book about her experience,
Lady with a Spear, which became a Book of the Month Club selection. Although she was a
scientist at heart, she also turned out to be a good writer.
Head of a Laboratory
In 1954 she accepted an invitation from Anne and William H. Vanderbilt to give a lecture, which
later led to an oer to set up a research institute at nearby Cape Haze. The laboratory, which
moved to Sarasota, continued to grow and now says it is the worlds largest research center
dedicated to the scientic study of sharks and their relatives.
30
Adventure with a Whale Shark
Once, as she was diving o the coast of the Baja

peninsula, a whale shark swam by. She reached for
a little handle that you can hold onto underneath a n and
let the shark shoot o with her hanging on. She says she
felt no fear. It never occurred to me to let go because he
didnt go deep. He stayed maybe 20 to 30 feet underwater.
I just felt like I was on a tour bus, Clark said. Her dive tank
slipped o her back, but she grabbed it and held onto the
shark as it continued to swim away with her. And then I
started to think: How long have I been on this, and its quite a
distance, and maybe my air might give out soon and Ill
have to nd the boat. So I nally let go. But I was so sorry to
let go of the most wonderful ride Ive ever had in my life.

WAYS TO FILL THE GAP

Thousands of students who received their final secondary school examination results this week
will be considering taking a year out. But just how should they fill it?
The gap year market is a huge business, its promises are tempting not just to
school-leavers who have just received final examination results this week but to
university graduates, career breakers and denture venturers the band of pensioners ready to
spend their savings. Companies continue to emerge each year purporting to be the best, the
most worthwhile, the cheapest. And even when gappers seek independent advice it can often
be confusing.
Charitable organisations, for example, warn would-be
volunteers of the dangers of leaving heavy western footprints
when working abroad. This week Judith Brodie, the UK
director of Voluntary Service Overseas, accused money-making
gap companies of offering spurious schemes that benefit
no one apart from the travel companies that organise them.
Gappers would be better simply travelling the world, she added.
Yet employers and universities often demand that applicants use
their year out to do something worthwhile.
IMAGE REMOVED
FOR COPYRIGHT
REASONS
For many school-leavers, tuition fees mean that a year out, wherever it is taken, must be
a year of work to fund three years of student life, so it is particularly important to get it right.
For parents, concerns are less about selection than safety, so many persuade their offspring to opt
for organised placements. The expense three months can cost up to 5000 is balanced by the
knowledge that their children have a backbone of support should things go wrong.
IMAGE REMOVED
FOR COPYRIGHT
REASONS
According to Tom Griffiths, of the website Gapyear.com,

five times as many British school-leavers now opt to do a
placement as did 10 years ago. Concerns about safety have risen
following a series of high-profile deaths. Ian French is one of those
who has lived every parents nightmare. He recounts the events
surrounding his daughters death in a coach crash in Peru. He
expresses his concern about the paucity of reliable information
made available to prospective gappers and their parents a lack
his newly launched charity, GapAid, hopes to address.
Although fatalities may be rare, the Foreign Office says that nearly half of all gappers will suffer
a serious incident during their travels. The most common problems are illness and robbery.
Yet still one in five backpackers will go abroad without taking out insurance.
Whether you are planning a six-month jolly on the well-worn backpacker route or investing time
(and money) in something more worthwhile, the key is to do your research and plan well in
advance. Talk to people who have been on the road, rather than those who are selling it, or youll
waste the best opportunity to travel of your life.
