SIDMOUTH IN DEVON UK: Sorry fans (of which there are many) but for me it is a strange old place!

…ace it looks fine. As the picture shows, there are long beaches with grand bays and huge (crumbling into the sea) cliffs, seaside hotels and rambling town streets. It attracts a lot of people on the summer weekends in particular, with walkers and people braving the cold UK seas. But the whole place from a hotel and sea front perspective seems to have become an over extended retirement centre. The hotels are full of people peering out at you as you…

Cape Town: Bloubergstrand has the most stunning views of Table Mountain and the City Bowl

…so about 30 minutes drive from the city out past the harbour and round the bay you enter a series of seaside holiday resorts 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…

MAURITIUS: The magical, beautiful Indian Ocean Island

…island in the North is a place called Grand Baie. It’s a very nice little bay with lots of yachts and boats. There is also a 40 minute police Safari submarine tour and the guard at Grand Baie and it goes under about 20 meters and 30 meters in depth. On the way, too, there’s a couple of good stops to make. The first stop to make is at the Pamplemousses Botanical Garden. It’s a 60 acre garden. It has a pond of very famous Victoria Amazonica Lilies….

Chilworth Manor Hotel, Southampton (Review, video and photos)

…but works. We were given the Dwight Eisenhower suite which was large with bay windows. There was a large TV but the bathroom was small and slightly odd shaped, but fine for a few days. The bed was not that comfortable, but again fine. Overall the hotel is fine and we enjoyed our time there. It is overall a bit old fashioned and the furniture and decor okay. But for the price and also the location is good. The nearby pub, by the way, is very good…

…ou pay a premium to get on the front side of the hotel that looks over the bay and out to sea. This is a stunning view, but I did not have it. But form the elevator side you can see the view.

Both are costly. I went to there Japanese which was excellent. There is…

Caribbean Cruise Part 6: Antigua

…bout the 2-mile trip. The beach is amazing and very lovely. A nice natural bay that also has a huge Sandals Resort on that looks very tatty but seems to be rebuilt and extended. But there was lots of space on the beach, but it was cloudy and looked like rain and a big Cricket World Cup match was on the island as well.
