…. But even so, when it was suggested that we take some visitors on an open air bus tour round London – was not wildly excited.We were booked on a slightly different take on the experience. The Duck Tour company, using old war world 2 troup and equipment carriers that both drive on land and can enter the water and act like ships, was the tour we were booked on.These strange looking trucks are somewhat old and dated, painted bright yellow and are as…
…then a dining table and bar area into a seating area with massive sofa, chair and table. Then an area with a large dressing table/ desk and TV with DVD player and X-box and then the bed area. Off that is a huge walk in cupboard with loads of space and a huge bathroom with toilet, bidet, Jacuzzi bath and then large shower. The balcony is also massive with 2 loungers, 2 chairs and a table. This is the life indeed! Amazing. Took loads of photos and…
…nstead of being on the 11th floor was on the 8th. Also it has the quietest air-conditioning I have ever come across. This for me is a huge plus as I hate noise and so often have to sleep with the air-con off and here it is so quiet you can leave it on. · The staff are all very efficient and helpful · The fitness center on the 14th floor is a good size, with a good range of modern equipment. I liked staying here, but it is hard to see it is a good…

…nd 125 euros). The whole hotel, despite recent investments, has an overall air and look of being a bit old-fashioned and dated. The look and furnishings feel like a cast back to the late 70s or early 80s. They are all in good condition and it is not that the place is run down – it just feels so dated. On this trip I had a room which faced to the back of the hotel looking towards the mountains (or if you were being unkind, over the entrance and dri…
…le. 2.Silence. It is amazingly quiet considering the location. You hear no air traffic at all. Pity the air conditioning is not as quiet! The actual hotel is a bit jaded and must be heading towards needing refurbishment. But it is perfectly fine for one night as the rooms are a good size, with a decent sized desk and very fast internet access (Costs about $10), and clean bathroom. The carpets are a bit worn and the furniture dated but fine and cle…
…y quiet as at the back of the hotel and not overlooking the main road. The air-conditioning is very quiet which is a boon as I hate air-conditioning noise and in most hotels have to switch it off at night no matter how hot or cold it gets! The rooms feel dated and uninspired decor wise, although they are not shabby at all. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and this combined with the quiet made for a great night sleep. There are some strang…
…and subject to disputes and delays. There are restrictions about how many aircraft can be in Brazilian air space at any one time and this can generate delays. Getting in and out of Sao Paulo through the main international airport (Guarulhos) can be very long winded and unpleasant. The airport is old fashioned, dated and cannot really cope with the some 33 million passengers that pass through it each year. It usually takes a good while to get thro…
…and save: click here Try and be there on a Thursday and visit the evening fair There a street fair that seems to be something of a long standing tradition when the main shopping area road gets closed off and up to 170 independent stall holders sell all sorts of food, art, jewellery and trinkets until 10pm. The fair gets packed and is popular with locals and visitors.Personally I am not sure that there was that much great stuff, but it was really g…
