In the basement, you can play games of weight lifting, volleyball, soccer, skiing, snowboarding, shooting etc. I suspect as time passes the novelty and significance of the Olympics will dwindle and the museum will fade away!

Things to do in Paris France. My ultimate travel guide for visitors

…tower on the other. It’s supposed to be capturing the sense of being an airship above Paris. And it’s quite big. It seats about 200 people. Then there’s the very up market, Jules Verne Restaurant, which is on the second floor, with its own private elevator. It’s one of the top restaurants in France. On the ground floor, there is an exhibition of original elevator machinery. On the first floor exhibits and displays and a bit of shopping, on the sec…

…raged with these massive pieces of equipment. Until a few years ago, many cruise ships would dock next to the ship as this was one of the main docking points. Many now dock in Brooklyn now, but you may still be lucky. #3: Get along to Time Square Next time to head to the iconic and famous Time Square! It can be difficult to get a cab from where the Circle Line/ Intrepid is so be pushy and grab a cab when people are being dropped off. Don’t let on…

Accomodation / Paris

Concorde Lafayette Paris Hotel. Stunning Paris Views From 33rd Floor.

…very complimentary as the hotel rooms were shabby and old fashioned. That review and some pictures are one of the most viewed blog postings I have ever written, probably as this is a massive hotel that attracts many conferences (as next to the Congress Centre) and package tours, especially American. I was, therefore, very impressed on staying here again. The hotel is going through a major revamp and refurbishment and while not all rooms done yet…

Accomodation / Prague

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

This is a review of the stunning Rocco Forte Augustine Hotel. One of The Very Best Prague Hotels! Based on an initial brief visit to The Augustine for a flying work visit, I decided to return for an Easter long weekend 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 sli…

SOUTH AFRICA TRIP: Part 1 Getting to Cape Town

…UK (Jo and Carol) and very nicely located in the suburbs. I will do a full review with videos later. The funny thing about it is that it is very clearly a product of the “tripadvisor generation” as everyone we spoke to seems to have found it via there, but also everyone is very “of a type” which is young 30 something professional couples pre kids. I suspect all have similar jobs and are almost all the same age. We have lolled at the pool mostly. W…

Sao Paulo (Brazil) : Sofitel Hotel

…ra here in Sao Paulo. View of Sao Paulo from my room in Sofitel Here is my review of the hotel: I liked this hotel. The rooms are large; the food is good and the staff all very helpful and friendly. While the hotel basically overlooks an interchange it is very near to the large public park that locals can be seen streaming into on the weekend and makes for a very pleasant place to escape to near the hotel. The whole area the hotel is in is very we…

…so posted on a very helpful site called travbuddy.com where travelers post reviews and such and you can ask for help. I asked and eventually got only one reply from someone from Taiwan saying, there is not a lot to do as a tourist, listing 4 places (National Palace Museum, Taipei 101, Lung-Shan temple and Shi-Ling Night Market), and saying I would love the city and they were pleased I was coming! Here are my tips for travellers visiting: 1.Visit T…
