Wish you weren't here?! (Holiday Heaven or Hell Blogger Competition)

A Holiday Heaven or Hell Competition?

I love blogger comps so now I'm on a mission

I decided to put together this little ditty

To show how our resort was ever so sh ...oddy !

The cases are packed, the hotel reserved

Two weeks in the sun are definitely well deserved

Time to relax somewhere sunny and hot

The holiday of your dreams ... or maybe not !

Our holiday hell took place in in Turkey

On arrival the plunge pool looked decidedly murky

The truth of the matter made us feel woozy

The jacuzzi had turned into a ja-poo-zi !

So what was the cause of someone's dodgy belly?

The stream down the beach that was horribly smelly?

The baby's bed that was covered in poo?

Would we spend all our time stuck in the loo?

The hygiene was dodgy, the safety was too

Part of the baby's bed broken in two

We asked for a new one - "we no have more"

What's up now? "Mum, look at the bathroom door!"

Going to the bathroom to wash off the sand

Half of the door-frame came off in her hand

The wood was very chunky - heavy and solid

I've never seen a hotel room look so squalid

Huge cracks down the wall were filled up with glue

Next to streaks that we hoped were water, not poo

Would the holiday rep save the day ?

Err ... she hadn't been to the hotel since May !

So not there to help us nor sell us the trips

No aqua parks, heritage sites or pirate ships

The entertainment on site was all in Russian or German

The only good thing was the lack of cockroaches and vermin !

We enjoyed the sunsets and had fun in the pool

It was better than being at work or at school

But for the first time ever, two weeks was too long

All that excitement for things to go wrong

When we got home, it was time to complain

We sent emails with photos to share our pain

The travel agent replied with a kick in the teeth

For our pains, we could have £15 back - good grief !

But even if our holiday wasn't as planned

It didn't stop us wanting to visit this sunny land

We've since been to Turkey on two more occasions

And both times we had heavenly vacations !
