There’s been a round of happy holiday snaps taken of world leaders from the northern hemisphere recently.
Given it’s summer, I guess they’re allowed. But just what does their choice of holiday reveal about them?
First there is Nicolas Sarkozy relaxing in the South of France. Lucky for him the fashion police are so taken by his super hot wife Carla Bruni, they’ve forgotten to notice those yellow swim shorts.
Then Silvio Berlusconi. The myriad of recent allegations against him have meant his summer holiday’s taken a turn for the worse. Even his daughter has reprimanded him. He’s alleged to be having intensive stress treatment in a hidden holiday location.
But there’s one man out there who doesn’t let up even when he’s on holidays.
His name is Vladimir Putin and he’s holidaying in Siberia. It’s a dynamic choice of a holiday destination for a dynamic guy.
Bags not tagging along with him next year. This holiday looks a hell of a lot like boot camp.
