How To Save Loads Of Time Booking Your Holiday
So you’re ready to book a holiday. You know where you want to go, but you’re not sure which hotel will be the best one for you. It’s time to do some research: Should you start with the flights or the accommodation? Can you fly from your local airport, or will it be cheaper to fly from another one, not too far away? How much is airport parking going to cost me? Will the flights be cheaper if you move…
Thailand Fact Sheet For Travellers

Interestingly, once we’d booked it, everyone I spoke to who has been described it as one of their best ever holidays, and those who hadn’t almost universally said it is something they want to do one day. Little wonder then that over 3 million people holiday in the…
Norfolk Broads Boating Holiday
We’ve not had a boating holiday before, so when good friends of ours were thinking of booking their next trip on the Norfolk Broads, we decided to join them. The lovely thing about the Norfolk Broads is that it’s an easy introduction to boating, there’s 120 miles of waterways and no locks to deal with. We had booked a 35ft Brinks Concerto for our week, with two double cabins and two bathrooms. As we had choice of cabins, we went…
Norfolk Broads Pubs
We were looking forward to eating out at a few pubs during our tour of the Southern Broads. We managed 6 during our week, and had some fabulous meals as well as tasting local ales. The pubs are listed in the order that we visited them. The Maltsers, Ranworth Ranworth is a picture postcard setting, there’s a village green with a local shop, and the tower of St. Helen’s church peaks out from the trees. The Maltsers is visible from…
