…sers to feel out of a cruise and a certain brand is for them. I strongly recommend you do one of these before you commit to a longer cruise. They are usually well priced and give you a full on experience of the experience and what the particular cruise line experience is. Then if you love it, you are ready and eager to book something – and if you hate it then you only have a night or two to pass by. (5) CONSIDER A REPOSITIONING CRUISE These are cr…

…lso around the area. Many people visiting the Cape spend a few nights in Franschhoek as part of a bigger tour around the area, but it is possible to do a day trip and go for lunch and see all there is to see. But it is a very quiet and peaceful town to chill out and relax in. I recommend a visit. Watch the video of the town I made: Huguenot Memorial Franschhoek FRANSCHHOEK: THE GOURMET CAPITAL OF SOUTH AFRICA Franschhoek Main Street – one of the m…
…eid came to an end, both to commemorate the period but also to work to get compensation and the right to reclaim lost land by evicted residents. The museum is a very popular place for tourists as well as visiting dignatories. The museum consists of various documents, personal records, posters and other memorabilia from past residents.

It has a flat screen TV and DVD player, and piles of storage (we took loads of clothes and stuff and did not even use all the storage). It had butler service (which I still do not really understand!! Perhaps it is just that we don’t use them enough as all he really did was bring canapés, our…
…el more hotel like and more of a transition as one experiments with cruising. I would like to do a short few days and try it out, but I think for me Cunard is still Queen! Whatever you chose, if you decide to book a cruise, I cannot recommend Jane Chadwick enough, and if you want to find out more about her: http://www.gocruisewithjane.co.uk/ Watch a slideshow video of the ship showing all the public rooms, many staterooms, dining venues and bars:…

It’s something you have to do, as it’s become a Singapore institution, a bit like going to Raffles and having a Singapore Sling. #6 Chinatown Walk at Night My sixth tip is to do the Chinatown walk at night. If you follow one of the earlier tips, you’ll have picked up your Uniquely Singapore booklet about walking through Chinatown. Although it’s calle…
…ile. The Redoutable had a 20-year duty history, with 51 patrols. She was decommissioned in 1991. In 2000, she was removed from the water in a purpose built dry dock, and over two years was made into an exhibition. This was a monumental task, the biggest of which was removing the Nuclear Reactor and replacing the mid section with an empty steel tube. This opened in 2002, where she is used as a museum ship at the Cité de la mer in Cherbourg, being n…
