Winter Sun with a 2 year old?

Hi,

Would anyone have any suggestions on where to go in Dec / Jan for guaranteed sunshine? It has to be toddler friendly. I was thinking of South Africa because there's little or no time difference but is it safe? Or is Thailand kid friendly? I just can't see myself being able to persuade my 2 year old to eat Thai food for a couple of weeks!

Any suggestions would be very welcome. Thanks.
 
Hi Ludwig

can't help you on the travel front but the prospect of changing Thai-fuelled nappies is something you should consider seriously!!!

Hi Ludwig,

I've been to both places, Thailand is fab and great for older kids but as you mentioned i don't think the food is very child friendly. South Africa is a beautiful country, I was in Capetown in the Winter Months so don't know what the beaches are like, The city centre in Capetown in a bit dodgy though, I wouldn't walk the streets alone never mind with a young child.

How about the canary islands - don't they have all year round sunshine ?
 
 
Thanks for the replies.

We tried the Canaries this year and they don't get sunshine all year. The weather was better than Ireland but we got a lot of rain unfortunately and it was quite chilly.

If we did choose SA we would stay outside the city but I'm just not sure I'm 100% convinced that it's safe enough. Apparently Virgin do a night flight from the UK which wouldn't be too bad as hopefully we'd all sleep (ahhh the optimism...I never learn).

Might look into the Caribbean.
