VICTORIA FALLS REVIEW, BUNGEE JUMPING AND MORE. A guide to possibly the most stunning place in the world

…ngstone is the premium hotel and attracts a mixed group of travellers from USA, Western Europe and what seems a lot of Russians. It is very up-market and beautiful and costs around US$800 for a room per night. It is right on the banks of the Zambezi and stunning. The other hotel, which is closest to the Falls, is the Zambezi sun. This is lower cost and targets families more. GETTING THEREIt seems, bizarrely, the best and easiest way to get to Livi…

…o desk or on the conversion machines. It also mean if you are not from the USA take plug converters as all but 1 plug is US – and the voltage is the US voltage. Overall We really liked the ship from the inside, and lived the Queens Grill experience. It may not be “special” enough to attract us back much. It will be interesting to see what happens!

Tips for Travellers Podcast, some feedback

…this blog, so was great to get this email from a chap called Aaron in the USA “Mr. Bembridge: I am a 27-year-old traveller living in the US (Oklahoma, to be specific) and fell in love with travel at a very early age. I have made it a point to get away often and to get as far as my budget will take me. As such, I have been working my way through your podcasts these past few months, and have found them to be of remarkable value. I really appreciate…

Best way to get from Heathrow to Eurostar at St Pancras?

…pack a lot into our day and half. Any tips? Thanks, Robbie Houston, Texas, USA” Here were my tips! “There are 3 main options (1) Catch the Heathrow Express train from any of the Terminals to Paddington. The train only takes about 14 minutes and costs around £10. Then catch the Hammersmith & City Tube Line to Kings Cross St Pancras.

Hilton Hotel Zurich Airport (Review and Room Videos)

…rnet access and a panel that takes all types of plugs (Swiss, Euro, UK and USA) is a great touch.

On my first stop as I had a Hilton Honors Gold card I got put in an Exec Club Floor room. These had, as well as lounge access with evening drinks and breakfast, more touches in th…

Sao Paulo Things To Do When Visiting (Part 2)

…to the space and then you shuffle through a very slow customs line. As the USA imposed a visa requirement onto Brazilian visitors after 9/11, they responded by requiring all US passport holders to have a visa. It such a frustratingly slow process to get through the airport largely it seems to me that they are just not geared up for the volume and don’t seem to be tackling the issue by streamlining it. Getting out is also quite slow and the facilit…

…y they handled us. I believe from people who know the Virgin set up in the USA is that they do not have permanent staff and only contractors who don’t have the same energy and passion (of course) to committ to the company or worry about it when things go wrong as the company has not committed to them by giving them permanent roles. Here are the questions I sent to Virgin (especially note the one about the bus drivers..): Staff at JFK: Why were the…

Las Vegas: Observations

…where and soon new residents and presumably second homeowners will fill thousands and thousands of condos. There are 3 cities that I have visited over the last few years that change each and every time I go back. Las Vegas is one and the others are Shanghai and Dubai. This makes them exciting places to visit as you always face a mix of the familiar and the new. Another thing though that did strike me this time was not just how the city had changed…
