…here. I wish I’d booked the cruise line transfer as they knew where to go. Hotels I’ve already mentioned the best hotel rates are by booking direct. In theory, the cruise lines should offer a better rate as they get a volume/ group rate. But as I have seen, this is not always the case. So, compare their quote. For example, for the Silversea cruise I mentioned, their price for a 3-night pre-stay at The Capital 15 on Orange Hotel in Cape Town was ch…
…ss the road was too much for me to sleep with them open. The view from the hotel is across the railway station and offices, and not very attractive. It is industrial in outlook! The hotel is fine if passing through as handy to get to and efficient, but probably more for causal business trade and meetings than one a tourist would want to use. Overall one of those efficient places you never really remember as it is neither amazing nor disappointing……
…oor which added to the experience. I am not usually a massive fan of Hyatt hotels as I find the design usually very bland and functional, lacking style. And the service and features very average. This hotel was nothing like that. I really liked it, and if you have meetings or working in that area is perfect. It is close to the domestic airport, but quite a long journey from the international one. Overall a great experience. Watch a video of the ro…
…et to. What happens if you get a bus transfer is that it tends to hop from hotel, to hotel, to hotel – so you can end up taking forever to get to your hotel because you’re going from venue to venue to venue. When you go back to the airport, it’s also very frustrating. It takes a lot of time because they’re dropping off and fetching people. So if you can, book some kind of private transfer because it’s much more efficient, it’s much less hassle, an…
…ns jacket, etc). The lobby is incredible and worth seeing. I stayed at the hotel and have a video of the hotel and room, as well as a review on the blog. As an aside, residents of Monaco are not allowed to gamble in the casino! #3 Yacht Basin From the casino area, walk down the winding hill to the left (or right) and go to the yacht basin. This is incredible. The most jaw dropping ships are there. It is mind boggling the wealth that owners must ha…
…oard and 2 drawers). But as you can see these are really minor issues. The hotel pool area is much better than the photos on the site. It is a decent size with loungers. The pool is not used much as people seem to be in Napa for short trips and so out all day. So we had it more or less to ourselves most days. There is an excellent breakfast with a hot choice of the day, and nibbles and wine in the evening.We really liked this place. It was a haven…
…This is just a bit of fun. While we were packing to leave the Royal Livingstone Hotel a the Victoria Falls in Zambia, the monkeys that we had been watching during our stay came and watched us packing… Excuse the inane commentary… watch the video on youtube: click here…
…ricas and so Blackberry’s do not work either. In the many brochures in the hotel lobby and at most hotels they do rent out mobile phones. If you are travelling from Europe (8 hours behind Japan) and USA (at least 12 hours), you are likely to be fairly jet lagged. I do not usually suffer much from jet lag but did struggle this trip, and I guess it is fairly known as the award winning “Lost in Translation” was about people connecting suffering from…
