Queen Mary 2 Transatlantic Crossing. Day-by-Day Experience and Tips.

…It must have been about 7.10am. It is clear that this way is getting very popular as there were streams of people, and as there is only 1 lift in the terminal and they would only let people with 1 bag use the escalators, it took a while to get down. We sailed (excuse the pun through customs) and met our driver and left. We had booked a car via Cruise Connection which Cunard offer. The port was busy as Queen Victoria, Queen Mary 2 and P&O Oriana w…

Royal Livingstone Hotel, Victoria Falls, Zambia

…he deck. There is a lot of activities on offer that you can book in the area through the activities desk. Breakfast is a fantastic and huge buffet, and lunch is served also in the restaurant but is very quiet. The bar has light food until 7pm. The restaurant at night is popular and has a good menu and lots of variety. The hotel has a lot of staff and service is fantastic. I really loved the hotel and recommend it highly. I will go back.

Hilton Sandton Sun Johannesburg South Africa

…tional inside. It is located near to Sandton city shops and the trendy and popular Nelson Mandela Square with many upmarket shops and restaurants (which is worth going to in the evening). You ideally need a car, but there is a regular hotel shuttle to and from the shops. Overall a safe and fine place to stay if on business or there for a few days. It is about 20 miles (about 45 minutes in rush hour) from the OR Tambo Airport. Watch a video of the…

Kalk Bay, Cape, South Africa

Kalk Bay, Cape, South Africa

…r if you prefer Boulder Bay (penguins) or Simonstown (Naval Base), It is a popular holiday town and weekend place to visit, and the main road which runs through the town gets very clogged and slow – and it is very hard to find somewhere to park. The main part of town is charming and the architecture from its heyday as a weekend and holiday stop reeks of colonial times. Although the buildings could probably do with some investment, they have amazin…

Cape Town: Signal Hill – stunning and a must do!

…t does not like heights, you can drive up Signal Hill. Signal Hill is very popular on tours and for locals to head up to have a glass of wine and watch the sun go down. But it is really very breathtaking both in the day and even more so at night. You can see Cape Town stretching out in a glistening array of light. It is very stunning indeed. This large mountain apparanetly got the name as it was used to signal to ships out at sea about coming into…

Cape Town Fish Market Restaurant (Victoria and Albert Waterfront)

Cape Town Fish Market Restaurant (Victoria and Albert Waterfront)

…ices in a tourist trap part of Cape Town, it serves a good enough purpose. Popular with groups of people out for a reasonable costing meal that will have something most people want to eat, it is overall a fairly grubby place with slow and slightly incompetent service by pleasant enough staff. The floor and tables, and cutlery etc, were quite a mess and there seems no pressure to keep it any better. Even the waiter took glasses away he noticed afte…

Le Méridien Etoile Hotel, Paris, France (Video, photos, review)

…otel is an expensive place to stay, with the room rates fluctuating wildly based on what is on in Paris or at the massive Conference Centre opposite. Once at the hotel things like internet access is high (26 Euros per 24hours) and drinks in the popular Jazz bar in the lobby are also expensive. There are a few restaurants which are also costly. Breakfast buffet is huge and packed, and around 25 Euros. Overall, I like the hotel as is a great locatio…

Tokyo: My tips for travellers visiting!

…went back to the airport on a shuttle bus from the hotel, which seems the popular way to do it as it is the most cost effective and very regular from all the major hotels. The process to get through immigration was very slow as they only had 2 people and very large queues of people as all the flights from Europe were arriving. There is a relatively new process where, like the USA, they take your fingerprints and photograph. Complex to get around?…

Grand Palace Hotel, Tokyo, Japan (review, video, pictures)

…nd Palace Hotel in Tokyo, Japan? Not a lot. Although it is one of the more popular and recommended of the Tokyo hotels. This hotel is so typical of what I find depressing when travelling on business. It is a large, very dated and beige hotel situated out of the main buzzing centre of town in a suburb full of uninspiring office blocks. It gets a busy and regular trade from people like me staying near the office and from busloads of tourists on econ…

Concorde Saint Lazare Hotel Paris France

…ot a great idea I thought. So overall, a perfectly fine hotel that is very popular it seems with more affluent tourists and lots of people from Asia with money. But not a hotel I would seek out to stay at again as I don’t think it is great value.

Cunard Queen Victoria: 4 nights cruise May 2008: My Journal

…to call at, as it is a large ferry and freight port. It does seem to be a popular stop on this short Channel hops as when we did a short P&O 3 day break we also came here. It is about a 45-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 Blankenbe…
