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

…ress and first appeared in 2010. The book covers the various accomodation, restaurants, bar and lounges, public rooms and behind the scenes. There is a short history of Cunard and then details and commentary on the various sections. This is like the others in the series a book that shows passion and has a great balance of content and pictures. Another great edition to any Cunard and cruise fans collection.

SWISSOTEL ZURICH: NOTHING WRONG, BUT NOT ALL RIGHT! MY THOUGHTS AND REVIEW

Swissotel Zurich Room 2116 Swissotel Zurich Room 2116 Just one easy train stop from Zurich airport, the Swissotel Zurich has nothing really wrong with it – but also it’s not all right either. A handy location, right opposite the train station. A modern and well considered, if somewhat IKEA inspired style and look, it is clean (spotless), neat and well thought through overall. But it lacks a certain warmth of character. It is ideal for business as…

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…

…fair selling food and drink, with small stage. Around the square are many restaurants of varying quality and price. As the Old Square is such an attraction, around it are many shops and other smaller destinations. One of the more popular is the Chocolate Museum and attached shop. The museum has a fee to enter, but in the shop they do demonstrations on making rock and sweets and attracts a big audience. The Castle. This huge complex looks over the…

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…

SHERATON BRUSSELS: review and video

We stayed here for 2 nights as part of a birthday weekend treat for my Mother. While we were away, I fractured my ankle in an accident I had in the street and the conceirge was an absolute star at helping to arrange ice, then a wheelchair and directions and help to the Accident & Emergency at a nearby hospital. The next day when we checked out, they also went out of their way to help us. Despite that and the accident, I found the hotel helpful an…

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…

Radisson Zurich Airport Hotel (review, video and photos)

…onditioning, but that was not everyone’s experience. There are a number of restaurants in the hotel, but all are fairly average. But at least there is some choice. There is a 24 hour fitness centre that is well equipped with weights, cardio machines, small pool and sauna. It is very hot down there. You have to take a specific lift down to the centre. Other than having to stay there because you have to go to a conference being held there and you ha…

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…
