Wish you weren't here?

This is not about how I feel about being back. This is about holidays in general, and how, sometimes these few days away somewhere can somehow turn into a nightmare.

I am sure you all have some horror stories to tell, and please, feel free to share your experiences.

My worst holiday ever was at a scout camp when I was about 13. The 18 and 19 year olds in charge pretty soon tired of looking after us and decided to bugger off and leave us in the hands of the 15 and 16 year old group aka "sadistic older brothers and sisters of the younger group"

As they say " power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely".... But what was worse, the older siblings also soon tired of the bossing around and decided to send us all off on a 'survival expedition'. They sent us without food, spare clothes, sleeping bags or tents to a random town that they circled in an old bit of map.

We ambled for two days in the rain, feeling hungry until we arrived to the little town that was our destination, only to discover that it had been abandoned....

Bastards!!!! By the time we made it back to the camp we were such a sorry sight that the older group decided to play nice.... I am sure they were worried about what we would tell the parents about the holiday...
