Cruising the Norwegian Fjords: Skjolden Sognefjord 130 miles Inland

…t the end of the Sognefjord. This is the longest inland navigable fjord in Europe. It is quite weird getting your head around the fact that you are sailing so far inland on a massive cruise ship in a huge wide fjord. The ship is dwarfed in the massive fjord as you sail into Skolden. On each side are huge mountains. In fact, the highest peaks in Norway are in this area. Once you reach the end of the Fjord in Skolden, it is very quiet and peaceful….

Advice and Tips For First-Time Visitors to Cape Town

…Cape Town is a good 11 to 12 hour flight from most of the major cities in Europe. Much further off if you’re coming from the U.S.A of course. Many European airlines fly direct to the city. If you can it is worth doing as from Johannesburg it is over a 2 hour flight alone, and internal flights are quite costly. It is not worth driving from Johannesburg as the drive is very long indeed, and not very scenic or interesting. One great way to get to Ca…

…l for a while). And as it is quite expensive to get to for travellers from Europe, Asia and the Americas it has remained largely unspoilt and natural. It does not reek of commercialism and has not been over developed and ruined. The whole area around the Falls is still rough paths and simple areas to enable you to see the Falls without plummeting down slippery cliffs.

…rt with many connections and options including low-cost airlines from many European, and especially the UK, cities. It can be very cost effective to get to and from Prague. The airport is about half an hour by car from the city, and buses are the easiest way. Or book a pick-up in advance via the hotel you are staying at.

…minute ride to Bruges by bus and that is very pretty. I guess like so many European port cities they were all destroyed in the 2nd World War, and then the focus was on rebuilding that design. We caught the free shuttle bus into a seaside resort called Blankenberge, and got dropped off at Kennedy Square. We spent very little time in Blankenberge. The town is a seaside resort that is so typical of the fading resorts, driven more an more budget and s…

Continental Airlines USA Review

…on the West Coast tell of how they fly into cities on the East Coast from Europe in lie flat business seats with lounge access with lots of features. Then they change onto a flight from the East to West Coast, often with the same US airline. And they get a completely different seating arrangement, and service even for the same amount of flying. The more I travel on these domestic flights, the more I can see why carriers like Jet Blue and Southwes…
