Tour of Europe’s Theme Parks – Terra Mitica
I’ve visited Terra Mitica twice now, once in 2005 and more recently in August 2009, and it really hasn’t changed that much apart from the recent addition of some fantastically scary rides!
The park is split up in to lands each with a variety of scary rides, children’s rides and snack areas.
I visited in August and [...]
My Grecian Journey
I’ve visited Crete twice now. My most recent journey was for two blissfully sunny hot weeks of relaxation and adventure!
I stayed at the lovely Bueno Apart Hotel in the resort of Platanes, which is close to Rethymnon. The apartments are a fabulous base for a self-catering holiday – just a one minute walk to the [...]
La Palma, Spain’s last hidden gem
I visited Isla De La Palma in June 2008 and, after a quick thee and a half hour flight from Gatwick, was greeted by the tiniest airport that I have ever flown into. As you come into land it looks like you’re going to land into the sea! The same goes for taking off, so [...]
Full StoryLuxor, Part 3 – The Temples of Karnak and Luxor

The Temple of Luxor was our first stop, and at the entrance you are greeted by massive statues of Pharaohs [...]
Luxor, Part 2 – The Temple of Denderah
And so contintues the story of our holiday in Luxor, Egypt.
It was a early start again. The cruise left at 7am from the Iberotel hotel, so we were collected at around 6.30am by Abdul. Once onboard we were shown around the little cruise ship and taken up onto the main deck, where there was a [...]
Luxor, Part 1 – Valley of the Kings and Queens
I visited Luxor, Egypt, in December 2007, and after a smooth five and a half hour flight from Gatwick we touched down just outside of the city centre, cleared customs and were immediately asked by the usual local kids if we wanted our luggage carried for us. They can be persistent, but just say no as [...]
Full StoryDisneyland Paris gets better
I visited Disneyland Paris at the end of November 2008 and, since this was my second visit to Disneyland at this time of year, I thought I knew what to expect.
I have to say it’s got so much better. This was my first trip on the Euro Star so I had no idea what it would [...]
