…here to do? While there are some things to do within the city, part of the attraction is that it is a great location to explore things around the area. So having a car is important, though there are many bus tours around Cheltenham and the surrounds. 3 key things to do in the city: Visit the Holst Birthplace Museum; see the stunning Pitt Pump Room Building (which was the centre of the spa offering in its day and is a stunning building and example…

San Francisco: Ferry Building versus Pier 39. There is only one winner!

San Francisco: Ferry Building versus Pier 39. There is only one winner!

…Seaport in New York seem positively up-market and glamorous. It is a real attraction to avoid. Luckily just down the road is something that is worth visiting and offers a more honest and real reflection of what San Francisco is. And that is the Ferry Building. Pier 39 is just awful.

…e Building, the stunningly beautiful art deco building remaining a popular attraction. Then some years ago, the Rockefeller Center revamped and opened “The Top of the Rock”, not surprisingly at the top of the equally stunning art deco style building.

…e and his son’s searched and then explored the caves that are now the main attraction. They dug deep and deeper and uncovered the most startling caverns and caves that had been worn through by water many years ago. The caverns were originally full of water from underground rivers which are now much lower, and are still being explored by (crazy) people who dive into them. Some of the caverns were found by using explosives to get to them. They are v…

International Helicopter Museum: Travel Enthusiast’s Must See

…s get excited (sad but true) when I find that there is some travel related attraction nearby. On a recent trip to the Bristol area in England, we went into the tourist information office in the UK seaside resort of Weston-super-Mare and came across a leaflet for the “International Helicopter Museum”. With the sort of attractions that one usually associates with seaside resorts in England I was not optimistic. But was really pleased we did. The mus…
