VICTORIA FALLS REVIEW, BUNGEE JUMPING AND MORE. A guide to possibly the most stunning place in the world

…it. You need to have a head for heights to do the microlite! – Sundowners’ cruise. These are a real staple of the Victoria Falls experience for generations! The best known is the “African Queen” which takes you on a 2 hour cruise with snacks and 3 drinks, it is really stunning on the river and you usually see game (especially hippo and crocodiles) and get to see the Zimbabwe side as well. – Game Drives. These are popular but best really to go on a…

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

…river tours along the beautiful river but they tend to be lunch or dinner cruises. The must do sights to see and the routes I suggest: Day one/ route one: Walk across the Charles Bridge, then through the old streets into the Old Town Square Day Two/ route two: Walk up to the Castle and explore that for half a day, and then walk down the hill and catch the tram and visit the Petrin Tower. Charles Bridge: This dates back to the 14th century and is…

Air France Economy Review (Prague to Paris CDG)

Flying economy on short haul flights is alright, if the plane is fairly empty. When it is busy then it gets really unpleasant, as it is impossible not to feel people are in your space and if the person in front puts their seat back then you can certainly not work with a laptop and you have the seat in your face. British Airways are making noises about not having as business class on short haul flights of one or two hours, and I have to say having…

SHERATON BRUSSELS: review and video

We stayed here for 2 nights as part of a birthday weekend treat for my Mother. While we were away, I fractured my ankle in an accident I had in the street and the conceirge was an absolute star at helping to arrange ice, then a wheelchair and directions and help to the Accident & Emergency at a nearby hospital. The next day when we checked out, they also went out of their way to help us. Despite that and the accident, I found the hotel helpful an…

Hilton Cadbury Hotel & Spa Bristol UK: review, photos & video

Cadbury House is near Bristol, set up on a hill with a great view across the countryside towards Wales. There is what looks to be the old house and then a modern (and very functional looking) building that houses the bedrooms, restaurant and bar. While we were staying there we noticed that many “Doubletree by Hilton” signage started to appear around the hotel, and so assume that this hotel has become part of that group. Overall we enjoyed our sta…

London Sea Life Aquarium: review, photo and video

The London Sea Life Aquarium is in the old County Hall building across Westminster Bridge from the Houses Of Parliament in London, and near to the London Eye (the massive and very popular Ferris Wheel originally set up for the Millennium that has become a permanent feature). The area along the Thames in front of County Hall is, unfortunately, becoming a bit of a busy and somewhat tacky tourist area. This is unfortunate, but possibly inevitable, a…

White House Inn & Spa, Napa, California (review and pictures of this great new hotel)

White House Inn & Spa This relatively new inn in Napa is excellent. It is a great place to stay in Napa. The inn is in a large old mansion in a relatively unimpressive neighbourhood. The large white house was built around 100 years ago and has recently been restored / renovated by the new owners. They have done a magnificent job with the place. The White House is not surprisingly white. It stands in beautifully lush grounds and looks impressive f…

Chilworth Manor Hotel, Southampton (Review, video and photos)

…Chilworth Manor Hotel and stayed on a Saturday and Sunday night. Based on reviews we had read, we arrived with mixed expectations, knowing that the hotel very clearly was a conference / meeting venue in the week and a weddings one on a Saturday. Having stayed at such places before, we were worried we would be treated as “filler fodder”. But we were very pleasantly surprised. The hotel is on very beautiful grounds, with a lot of it still wild, wit…

Radisson Zurich Airport Hotel (review, video and photos)

The Radisson Zurich Airport is located between a Renault car dealership and the railway line in a drab and sprawling industrial park. This uninspiring hotel is unattractive to look at and has dated early 1980s style decor with lots of glass panelled walls, beige marble type floors and heavy rich colours. On the positive side it is a 4 Swiss francs ride on a tram that takes about 10 minutes. Though annoying you have to have cash to buy a ticket an…

CUNARD QM2 QUEEN MARY 2 Q4 PENTHOUSE SUITE REVIEW

…rs, 2 chairs and a table. The style and décor is rich and warm, with stylish lamps, cushions and fresh flowers every day. Even the curtains are controlled by a button. Our charming butler (Andres) was off the QE2 and was very chatty and helpful. The suite was at the front of the ship on Deck 10 and due to its position was very quiet as no-one walked past either as the corridor was a dead end as it is the upper floor of the very posh suites at the…
