The Experience of Package Holidays

You'd fly to perpignon in southern france, then you'd get a sort of really tiresome, hot coach journey over the pyrenees or costa brava. In the seventies, you got the rise of these sort of super hotels with enormous pools, huge association airos downstairs. They specifically designed to accommodate working class germans and working class britons wishd to meet new people. And increasingly they nit the unions for increased holiday entitements.
