Prague, Czech Republic. Review, photos and video tour of this magical European city

…who have added Prague as a must-see in their European schedule along with Paris. It is clear that Prague is a very popular destination, the 6th most visited city in Europe I read somewhere (if that means anything) but as the heart of the old part of the city is quite compact and small, it does feel very busy as tourists all work (and walk) a fairly small route and area – as all the must-see attractions and in that area. Prague = Ancient, undistur…

Travel to French Riviera In Winter: Nice, Cannes, Monte Carlo, Antibes

…s actually the second busiest airport in France after Charles De Gaulle in Paris. The minute you land, you know that this area is a rich person’s playground, as large private planes are strewn around the airport.

Our flight was completely 100% full. Car r…

Hotels and making you feel welcome. Especially if you stay there a lot……

…yone who knows me, or reads this blog, knows that I spend a lot of time in Paris and stay at many hotels there – and at the Pullman Rive Gauche (Issy Les Moulineaux) a great deal.. I always moan about the hotel (mostly about the way they treat even the most regular customer like me, for example asking if you stayed there before, making you fill out your address every time like it is the 1st time etc). Now they even have a machine check you in and…

Eurostar Customer service: good or bad?

Eurostar Customer service: good or bad?

…r user of Eurostar. Some months I am using it to travel between London and Paris every week. It is more efficient and less traumatic than fighting through the airport and flight delays. Today (Wednesday) arrived at Gard do Nord station in Paris to catch the 17:43 train to London to face a chaotic Eurostar area. I thought it was because France closes for 5 days due to public holidays. But found it was due to a fire on the line that meant no electri…

But in reality we are going to Le Havre (and the Paris excursion is 10 hours with 3of these in a bus), Rotterdam (with another all day excursion to do Amsterdam) and the ferry port of Zeebrugge (with a 45 minute to and from Bruges). We do not mind as we plan to relax and not really do tours. We caught the shuttle bus into Le Havre and jumped out…
