Hi all,
I am due to marry my long-suffering girlfriend in Australia in early May this year. We will be travelling back to the UK afterwards but I want to find a destination that is broadly en route on the return journey that has a mix of romantic (yawn) luxury but with plenty of reptiles on the doorstep to keep me entertained while my wife sunbakes and relaxes. One example of the sort of thing I'm after is Langkawi, Malaysia as it is en route between Australia and the UK, has some nice hotels and beaches etc but with tropical rainforest right behind. One drawback of Langkawi is we have visited before and wanted to try somewhere new. Any thoughts? I thought about Greek Islands, somewhere in Thailand or India etc but all seem to be either a little too rural/wet/rainforesty for my missus or are too long a trek from the hotel to good herping areas. My girlfriend loves animals and herping but will be looking for some proper relaxation too so I have to disguise the herping credentials of any destination we choose!
