This is a question Summer Holidays

'We're all going on a summer holiday, and if you want to go yo Sven' rapped hip hop heavyweight MC Miker G - and it's as true today as it was way back in 1986. Holidays are a time for us to relax, unwind...and disgrace ourselves and our nations. Tell us about your best and worst holiday experiences. Again.

I went to Rhodes last year
After some amateur Indiana Jonesing in the caves beneath the Lindos Acropolis I found a smallish rock with YIUX carved into it, which my friend identified as a shot from one of the Rhodian slingers (dating from between 400-100BC) - YIUX translates as "Look out!" so it's the ancient world's equivalent of writing "Have a nice day" on the side of a bomb.

Yes, because I didn't really know what it was at the time
After returning to the UK my friend (who is well into his antiquities) identified it, so I donated it to his collection of Roman pottery, coins, and (what he's convinced is) a 1200 year-old Viking sunstone, with the proviso that it be displayed with a little card reading "Discovered by emvee, Rhodes Expedition 2014".

I was in the exact same place last year.
I left that rock there.

I know, you stayed at the Belair and didn't like it
We've already had most of this conversation
