Destination unknown

It's official. I have the travel bug and I'm pretty sure it's contagious. 

Having only just touched down on London Gatwick from Stockholm (detailed blog post to follow) late last night I have so far spent my self-proclaimed day of errands/convalescence/unpacking working my way through Easyjet's list of holiday destinations. My suitcase remains full, the bathwater has gone cold, the fridge remains empty and yet I am still no closer to deciding where I will be holidaying the summer. 

With a friend's hen do to New York booked in June (subtle self five), I managed to convince the boy to agree to a destination that is within a two-three hour reach, in the safe mid twenties and bank account friendly. 

Finally after eight hours of blurry eyed surfing (sadly not the surfboard kind), we have a shortlist. 

1. Nice, France | Nice is the capital city of the Cote d'Azur region of Southern France and the more relaxed and warmer sibling of Cannes and Saint-Tropez. From soaking up the cobbled squares of the old town to people watching the decadence of the locals on the sea front, it looks like this courtesan of a city has so much to offer. The Telegraph's guide knows all. 

2. San Sebastian, Spain | A world away from its neighbour, the dreary and tedious Bilbao, boasting thirteen Michelin stars restaurants, San Sebastian is the ideal destination for connoisseurs of award winning cuisine. However, food doesn't appear the only thing to shout about as both natives and tourists flock here for the white sands, surfing and even hiking. The London Foodie  guide to San Sebastian has it covered.  

3. Corsica, (the Med) | This beautiful island is located just off the South of France and offers Mediterranean sunshine intermingled with luxurious beaches against the backdrop of picturesque mountain ranges. The best way to hit Corsica is by car, cruising along the coastal roads. 

4. Puglia, Italy | My well travelled sister swears by this region and has declared it to be "real" Italy. The hotels are embedded in cliff tops, the white washed glisten in the sunshine and the Romanesque architecture is like no other. The only downside appears to be that you will need to rent a car if you want to make the most of it. 

If I had my way I would hand in my notice in a second and visit them all.
