Holiday Cheaters Exposed!

Due to work or family pressures, couples sometimes have to take separate holidays. But next time your hubby (or wife) suggests you holiday separately, there might be cause for a bit of suspicion.
A new survey of 5,000 Australians by expedia.com.au has found almost 25% of Australians admit to cheating on their partners when travelling alone on holiday!

The survey also found that Paris is considered to offer the best chance for a romance with 34 percent of the vote. This is followed by the United Kingdom (18%), Spain (18%) and Brazil (12%).

A third of the respondents believe the Brazilians are the world's sexiest race, followed by Italians (23%) and Australians (14%). The Poms came in last at just 4% of the vote!
