Victoria Falls, Livingstone, Zambia
…Russians. It is very up-market and beautiful and costs around US$800 for a room per night. It is right on the banks of the Zambezi and stunning. The other hotel, which is closest to the Falls, is the Zambezi sun. This is lower cost and targets families more. GETTING THERE It seems, bizarrely, the best and easiest way to get to Livingstone is via Johannesburg in South Africa! In theory you can also fly into Lusaka (the capital of Zambia) and there…

Silversea Silver Cloud Expedition Cruise Ship. My Review And Video Tour
…ence across most of the Silversea ships. The last dining option is 24-hour room service with breakfast, lunch, midnight snacks and also during evening you can also order from the main dining room menu. The one thing which they don’t really have is, because there’s no buffet option in the evening, if you do want something ready just quick and fast your only real option is room service. I did it a couple of times because I didn’t want to go and do a…

MONACO: one of the most surreal places you can visit in Europe.
…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.

My Sofitel Macau Review
…was great. The staff were efficient and welcoming. I had been allocated a room with an inter-connecting door to the next room, which is something I had forgotten to ask to avoid in my booking. The hotel was full that night and they could not move me. The next day they contacted me to say they now had one available, and offered to help me to move. I was impressed they had made a note and addressed it without me having to do any follow up. It was a…
About Me
…rom the places I visited. I posted my first audio podcast in 2005, from my hotel room in Sydney. It was all about the city (https://tips4travellers.libsyn.com/podcast3-mp3 ). My first YouTube video came on 24 June 2006 (a video tour of a guest house we were staying in, in Cape Town https://youtu.be/Wc4qTwI8rUg ). The second video I posted was about a Cunard Queen Mary 2 Queens Grill cabin (https://youtu.be/58IuFxpSbqU), and it was this that starte…
