Britain wins again! (this week). But as it turns out Germans and other continental Europeans tend to book their summer hols starting in November. So, most have already booked. It's pretty common that the more exclusive and boutique accommodations (rural hotels, villas, fincas) will be pretty well booked for the summer by now. Still, wait till next month, when Brits seriously start booking summer hols in the British resort hotels and all-inclusives. No doubt another British victory. Unfortunately, nobody else knew it was a competition. Or care.
