In 1961 I went to Texel - the first in the chain of Frisian islands that run from the north of Holland. It was a birdwatching trip organized by the Bristol Junior Naturalists (no, not naturists).

When I was about 13 so mid 70's we went on a camping holiday to Grado in northern Italy. We drove with all the camping equipment in an Avenger which we'd borrowed as our Capri had been pinched a few weeks before. It was just as well when we packed the car up we wouldve never got it in the Capri!it took 3 days to get there in the pouring rain through france and switzerland and longer to get back through Austria and Germany which included a night in the car! We stayed for a month and it was amazing! a few years later when the first coach trips to the south of France became popular we went for several years to Antibes- Camp du Pylone and later to Port Grimaud, they were wonderful holidays!
It was several years before I flew anywhere !

1966, to San Remo in Italy was our first holiday abroad. Not sure of the ins & outs, but it involved flying with British Eagle Heathrow - Luxembourg & a 24 hour coach ride, through France & Switzerland to get there. I had my first taste of proper foreign food, when presented with spaghetti bolognese & one of the waiters patiently taught me how to "twirl" it using a spoon & fork

One of day trips was popping over the border to the French Riviera & Monaco.

We never had a family holiday abroad when we were growing up (apart from Scotland of course   ) but first overseas experience was a school trip to Holland where we went by ferry from Harwich - sleeping in a huge dormitory style room onboard - I still remember the terrible heat and bedding made out of some paper like material :-/

First "real" holiday abroad was a lads holiday to Corfu, where one by one all the lads dropped out and two of us went in the end. Great holiday all the same
