Welcome

Bulgaria – Varna August 2007 Diane, Manchester UK I would just like to warn people of a frightening experience that we had when we first arrived in Bulgaria. We mistakenly booked our flights to Varna when we actually were heading for Sunny Beach (long story). Not realizing how far it was we asked a taxi [...]

Mexico – Casita Carolina, Bacalar 2007 Dogrose As the clean-up begins in Mexico after hurricane Dean’s unwelcome visit, Casita Carolina, a picturesque little hotel on the edge of laguna Bacalar is counting the cost.

Bulgaria, Balchik, Summer Palace of Queen Marie & Botanical Gardens – July 2007 Dogrose ‘You can’t come to Balchik and not visit the Summer palace of Queen Marie and the Botanical gardens’, that’s according to the lonely planet guide book and it was spot on!

Bourgas is only a 45 minute bus journey away so it seem a good way of introducing ourselves to travelling [...]

Mexico, Mexico City – May 2007 mcdog We were out of bed early, this was our final day in Mexico City, and we needed to be out of our room by 1400hrs. Not a problem, we were assured that we would be back from our tour of the city long before that time. So the [...]

Mexico, Mexico city – May 2007 Mcdog There is nothing small or dainty about a club sandwich at Cancun Airport. We had bought one each as belated breakfasts and had struggled to finish them. The waiter asked with a big grin if we wanted anything else and affected surprise when we declined. He wandered off, [...]
