[07/09/2009] Etap is not a chain I would normally consider staying at but we had a friends wedding to attend and all the other hotels in the viciity were charging silly money for a Saturday night so Etap it was! First impressions?! - Well never having stayed in a youth hostel I don't know exactly what i'd expect but Etap was pretty much as I'd expect a YH to be. Reception was very grey, very plain, very ordinary, very basic. Although a great unexpected plus was a mini bottle of wines vending machine- fab! Braekfast is taken in a school canteen style area and arrives on trays. At least it's not a snac [more]

Temujin Restaurant

Sowerby Bridge

91%

good

[17/02/2009] Temujin restaurant is an eating experience thats a little bit different. The one I visited was in Sowerby Bridge in Halifax but there is another restaurant in Huddersfield also. This Mongolian themed restaurant is BBQ buffet style and I found that the starters, although good, are pretty standard and include choices such as Tempura, Chicken Satay, Tiger Prawns and the desserts are for some odd reason, totally out of keeping with the rest of the theme, and instead, are English style like cheesecake, chocolate fudge cake and banoffe pie. Yummy but disappointing. However, despite this, Id re [more]

CN Tower

Toronto

92%

excellent

[29/01/2009] Despite my fear of heights, I wouldnt have missed the opportunity to go up the CN Tower. The Canadian National Tower in Toronto is still the worlds tallest building standing an impressive 553m high and has the worlds largest revolving restaurant inside although we didnt fancy the idea of eating as we spun round and round! I exaggerate just slightly as it takes 72 minutes for the restaurant to revolves all the way around once. Tickets were fairly pricey and depend on which parts of the tower you want to access, further up, more expensive. The main viewing deck was high enough for us so we [more]

Niagara Falls

Niagara Falls

94%

excellent

[29/01/2009] Awesome! Totally awesome!!! Ive wanted to see this Wonder of the World for quite some time and was not at all disappointed when I finally did. Niagara falls are made up of two falls, the American falls and the Canadian Horseshoe falls which is what most people think of when they visualise Niagara Falls. The Horseshoe Falls so named due to its shape, are approx 800m wide and 50m high. The American falls are almost as impressive at 56m high and about 330m wide along its crestline. We walked from opposite the American falls towards the Canadian falls and as we approached, the incredible roa [more]

Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II

Milan

88%

very good

[29/01/2009] For an ultra chic place to shop and dine sweetie, the Galleria Vittorio is an absolute must! The Galleria is an elegant glass vaulted arcade lined with cafes and shops and luxury boutiques including Prada, Gucci and Louis Vuitton and the famous restaurant, Savini which we didnt eat at but was very expensive and food high quality and seemed to be favoured by well dressed, wealthy looking older clients. The Galleria was designed to connect Piazza del Duomo which is just across the square and the Piazza della Scala. The arcade itself is quite small, 640 ft in length and we wandered aro [more]

Las Ramblas

Barcelona

87%

good

[29/01/2009] Las Ramblas is one of the Barcelonas most famous streets and wed been keen to take a gentle stroll and take in some of the culture t had to offer. Its 1.2 km long with Port V ell at one end to Placa Catalunya at the other end so at a leisurely pace, took about 25mins to walk. Wed heard off the seedy reputation that I sometimes has so decided to visit during the day time and as we were visiting in Feb, it wasnt too busy at all, just the right level of hustle and bustle. The area was entirely pedestrianised and was lined with hundreds of cafes and restaurants so no concern about going hungr [more]

Silken Diagonal Barcelona

Barcelona

91%

perfection!

[28/01/2009] This hotel was a real find! We booked the hotel just having read some info on a website and saw a few pictures however when we turned up, we were very pleasantly surprised at what a great deal wed found in a very funky hotel! Youd be forgiven for thinking that youd stepped into an exclusive club rather than a hotel reception, with highly polished, brass covered curved walls, trendy oversized white furniture and swizely chairs and huge metallic disk covered ceilings. So after checking in we made our way up to our room which led us through dimly lit corridors with blue neon signage, sound [more]

Palau Güell

Barcelona

88%

very good

[28/01/2009] Be sure to take your sunglasses along if you decide to pay Parc Guell a visit! The Parc is located on the top of the hill, el Carmel in the Gracia district of the the city, so is quite a steep 200m walk up so be warned however is worth the effort. Its free entry which is good news for those on a budget and opens 10am to 7pm in March & Oct, April & October, til 8pm and open to 9pm May & August. During the winter months, the Parc closes at 6pm. So after a steep uphill trek, we were greeted by what can only be described as an icing topped gingerbread house. The house looked like that for [more]

Museu de la Xocolata

Barcelona

88%

very good

[27/01/2009] When I discovered that Barcelona had an entire museum dedicated to chocolate, I could hardly not visit now could I?! The museum is tucked away in the old town of La Ribera, just a short stroll from the waterfront and occupies a former convent. Its open Monday to Saturdays 10am to 7pm and 10am to 3pm on Sundays. Entry is 4.30 Euros. Its quite a small building but theres so much to see that we easily passed a couple of hours in there. The entirely chocolate made Sagrada Familia, Barcelonas unfinished cathedral is amazingly detailed and totally stunning as are the Parc Guell lizards. [more]
