…ore expensive luxury lines. It will be more akin to staying in a four-star hotel than a five-star, and the quality of items like linen and sheets will be good but not plush. There will fewer added features and touches than luxury lines, so do not expect prestige brand name toiletries, flowers and fruit in the cabins. The ships will also generally be larger than the luxury and ultra-luxury cruise lines. Princess Cruises Caribbean Princess Belfast #…

Rovos Rail South Africa (Cape Town to Pretoria): a most remarkable & special experience (review)

Rovos Rail Lounge Cape Town Train Station The bed in our suite on Rovos Rail Train We travelled on the Rovos Train for 2 nights from Cape Town to Pretoria. It was an amazing experience. I loved it.

QUEEN VICTORIA: A PHOTOGRAPHIC JOURNEY: MY REVIEW OF THE BOOK

…ssive Cunard fans called Chris Frame and Rachelle Cross. I have previously reviewed other books by these two Cunard fans, and so was delighted to see that the Queen Victoria is now available as part of the series. This is a larger sized book than the QM2 book, and so the images of all aspects of the ship can be enjoyed even more. I think the book benefits from the larger size as fans (or the interested) can better study the pictures. Like with the…

THE QM2 STORY BY CHRIS FRAME AND RACHELLE CROSS: MY REVIEW AND THOUGHTS

Tweet ———- There are quite a few books covering the Cunard flagship Queen Mary 2. So which one or ones to choose if you looking for one? For me, I look out for people with real passion versus just an academic interest in Cunard and their ships, and Chris Frame and Rachelle Cross are just this. Chris has run a popular website about Cunard and their ships for many years, and this is in fact how I first came across him. I was researching my first tr…

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…

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…

Big Hole Kimberley South Africa (review)

Big Hole Kimberley South Africa (10), originally uploaded by garybembridge. In the end of the 19th century diamonds were found in South Africa. It all began when some kids playing near a river found a stone they liked and used it to play games with. Someone spotted the stone and verified it was a diamond. An almighty diamond rush began. Until then it had believed diamonds were only to be found in South America and some parts of Asia, At first all…

QE2 A PICTORIAL JOURNEY: Book review

This new addition to the many books written about Cunard’s iconic and symbolic ship the Queen Elizabeth 2 is from 2 passionate fans of the ship. The book has over 200 pictures that seem to largely be from their own collections that were taken on the many trips that they have taken on the ship, and there is very limited text and some short but interesting sections by William Miller and QE2 Captain Ian McNaught. The thing that I liked about this bo…
