Prague, Czech Republic. Review, photos and video tour of this magical European city

…he large tourist trade. But both felt a bit tacky. Easter is a big deal in Prague! Easter is a big thing in Prague. There is a large Market in the Old Town Square, and all over town they sell easter eggs. But unlike in the UK these are not chocolate treats, but actual eggs that are hollowed out and very intricately designed. They are quite something, though you soon realise that this must be a large commercial enterprise as although there are many…

Rocco Forte Augustine Hotel. One of The Very Best Prague Hotels

…end as I was so struck with the place – and also (of course) how beautiful Prague was and how I needed to explore it more. So how did the hotel rate after spending 3 nights there? Overall good, though there are some flaws that were slightly irritating for such an up-market hotel. They were though all related to housekeeping issues. Every day we were there we had to call housekeeping by late afternoon as our room had not been cleaned, and in the ev…

Air France Economy Review (Prague to Paris CDG)

…e or two hours, and I have to say having been on a 5 day hop from London – Prague – Paris CDG – Zurich – London, I have to say that the business cabin on all the airlines (BA, Air France and Swiss) were all very empty. It is a while since I have been on or blogged about Air France, and so took these pictures and here are my thoughts. I guess the most obvious thing is that economy is economy and as most airlines either fly Boeing or Airbus, then yo…

Most Asked Questions About River Cruises

…of the river cruises I’ve been on along the Danube I see people doing the Prague add-on. Prague is a beautiful city. I love Prague. Originally, I used to go there for work when I was working full time. And I’ve been there on a weekend break. Then I’ve been there pre-river cruise. So, I would strongly recommend it because it is a beautiful city. It adds a lot to the tour and a lot to the trip because it is one of those iconic cities you want to se…

HILTON MILLENIUM HOTEL, NEW YORK, USA: noisy due to ground zero building

…it on this trip. The hotel is right next to the famous Century 21 discount label department store and an easy 10 minute walk to South Street Sea Port area with its shops and museums and the major drop off and pick up for the round Manhattan bus tours. But overall, it is not a very handy destination for tourists as far from the shopping areas and Central Park etc. Overall, I liked the room a lot but the noise of construction did wake me up earlier…

The Best Way To End Your Cruise: Getting Disembarkation Day Right

…if you are putting your luggage out keep the tear off tag from the luggage label, that will remind you what allocated slot you have and, as some cruise lines require us to show our luggage tag colour to let you off the ship, the allocated time. Finally, when packing, don’t pack the cruise line umbrella, dressing gown, binoculars or other bits and pieces around the cabin. You will likely be charged for those and often at a much higher amount than i…

…ke design. And of course, they have trolls everywhere. Always check on the label where they’re made. I would stress again that Norway is very expensive. The currency is the Norwegian kroner, and because it’s not the Euro, the exchange rate is more complicated, it’s easy to get confused about how much you’re paying. Make sure you understand it. On the plus side, many of the souvenir shops will take Euros and some will take dollars or UK Sterling. I…

…ut the overall dress code was very relaxed. This was not a flashy designer label for dinner experience, it was more like when I have been on an expedition cruise. In short, were what you bring and wear was low on the list. Personal Feel The third thing was with a maximum of 312 guests and 200 crew.

Tallinn Estonia. Tips for Travellers Must See Attractions

…h the peaks of the various cathedrals of the city. It reminded me a bit of Prague in feel. It is very beautiful when you come in from the sea. I think Tallinn’s probably best seen from the sea. The Old Town is well maintained and retained. There is a more modern part of town where they’ve built skyscrapers, but no building in the old part of Tallinn is allowed to be higher than the St. Olaf’s Church steeple. Those of you that follow the Eurovision…
