Madrid Spain: my top travel tips for a weekend break in this stylish city

…d revamped into a huge open building full of glass, exhibition centres and new viewing platforms on the top of the building. The city council meets in the building as well. The whole place is stunning and striking, and has ornate ceilings, glass walkways and always has some exhibitions going on. As space in the viewing platforms is limited, you need to line up and wait. The views are impressive. Palace of Communications/ Palacio de Comunicaciones…

Sydney Australia. Top 10 Travel Tips And Things To See And Do

…one. An alternative is the Monorail. Through part of the city is a fairly new monorail which covers what I would call the “right hand side of town”. It goes from Darling Harbor through the main shopping area, and right up to the up to Central Station. It is a good trip as it is fairly new it is above the streets and so you get a feel for a large part of the city, and it’s very inexpensive to go on. Hotels: Where ever you stay, if you can afford t…

Cape Town South Africa: 5 more great and amazing things to do there

…esorts where Bloubergstrand seems to be the main one. It is packed full of new developments and seems to be growing very fast with new developments behind large walls. It is hard to figure out how many are full time homes or if they are holiday lets. But there certainly is a lot of them. The beach has big rocks and the waves crash over them, and you have amazing views across to the city and over to Robben Island. The views really are worth the tri…

Cape Town: Derwent House Boutique Hotel review

…not only maintain the high standard of our first trip but also keep adding new little touches and extras. We love Derwent House, and would stay there again when return to Cape Town. BUT it is not for everyone, and some people tend to forget that this is a Guest House and not an “all singing/ all dancing” hotel with all that this brings. For us it is perfect. On the 2nd trip we stayed in room 9 which has a lounge area, small kitchen and bedroom and…

…ions. Over 400 years ago the family that own it today started to build the new house. Over the years it has evolved and grown, and is a huge complex with impressive front face and gorgeous gardens. The house has a long history associated with Royalty and Politics due to the family connections. Some of the rooms were designed to be used by King James who succeeded Queen Elisabeth on her death. You can pay to just visit the gardens or the house and…

P&O ARCADIA CRUISE SHIP: REVIEW AND VIDEOS

…2 were suites and one a mini-suite The short summary is that we LOVED this new ship to the P&O fold and we loved the cruise around the Mediterranean, finding nothing major to highlight as areas P&O could focus on to make it better! The areas we wrote on the feedback form I will cover later in the review. We did find – however – that very regular P&O cruisers seemed almost eager to want to find things about the ship that they did not like. We found…

SHERATON BARRA HOTEL RIO DE JANEIRO: Poor overall with a fab beach opposite

…t in the main part of Rio, and is away from the action so not the best for new tourist visitors to Rio. It took almost 2 hours on a Friday evening to get there by car from the airport, although this was a holiday weekend and roadworks so probably an exception. It took about an hour going back. I was there for work, but if there as a tourist, I would be disappointed on the location as it is so far from the hot spots like Impanema/ Copacabana and th…

Renaissance Capital Hotel, Chaoyang, Beijing, China

…ge. The Renaissance Capital hotel in the Chaoyang District in Beijing is a new hotel in the city, built I assume for the Olympics. It is so new that few drivers and locals know where it is! Even people who live locally. That is partly due to the fact that it is not on the road and is set off behind some other buildings. So if you are going and plan to get a cab, make sure you have some directions! One of my collegues found a taxi driver passed rou…
