This was a sightseeing trip to Lisbon and Porto taken at the end of May. The following is our itinerary. Day 1 We flew into Lisbon Airport shortly after midday. The metro in Lisbon is good and efficient but in order to maximise sightseeing time we took a taxi to our hotel, which was situated …
Our latest adventure found us once again on a cruise ship. This is our third cruise and I have to admit it’s taken us a while to get used to cruising. I honestly believe that you have to ‘learn’ to cruise, because it is very different from a land based holiday. So I would like …
Lake Como, with its enchanting landscapes and charming towns, served as the backdrop to a journey that was not just a holiday but a celebration of love. We embarked on this unforgettable adventure as guests to a breathtaking wedding, and along the way, we discovered the beauty of Lake Como, its quaint towns, and even …
We have just been on our first cruise, and we chose to go to Norway. Apparently, it is the favourite destination for most first- time cruisers, according to our Travel Agent. We booked through a Travel Agent to make sure that we got the best deal and had all the necessary paperwork. It was very easy …
Rue du Cherche Midi La Belle Juliette is a 4 star hotel and spa in the 75600 district of Paris, not far from Luxembourg Gardens. It is 7 minutes walk from the nearest underground station and within a 45 minute steady walk to the Eiffel Tower. There are some lovely shops, cafes and restaurants on …

When most people think of the Fylde Coast, one thing springs to their mind. Blackpool. But there’s more to the Fylde than that. So other than one brief mention of something a world away from the Pleasure Beach, I’ll be reviewing somewhere completely different. Be warned. It can be very wet and windy on the …
Imagine a fairytale castle and you’re probably imagining Castell Coch. The castle you see rising out of the side of the hill overlooking the A470 just past Taffs Well is not the original castle on the site. It is the third castle, built on the remains of the previous ones. The first being a Norman …
Cirencester is a remarkable town, a “must visit”, yet often overlooked. It’s the largest town in the Cotswolds, dating back to Roman times and continuing in importance through Saxon, Norman, Tudor and modern times.
