Homeless holidays
For those seeking a really thrifty break, one option is to spend the cash on a three-day "street retreat", accommodation most definitely not included.
This summer the first such break took place in London, the "holidaymakers" sleeping rough on the streets of the capital to see what it means to be homeless - and to grow spiritually in the process.
Packing for the retreats, organised by the Peacemaker Circle International Community, is easy. Participants are told not to wash or shave for five days beforehand and not to bring a change of clothes. All they need is a sense of adventure, a willingness to beg and the ability to deal with "scary stuff".
