A morning in Germany and Switzerland mountains!
A morning in Germany +Switzerland mountains!
^^
That morning, I found myself in Germany, especially in the city of Cologne. I wanted to make the most of business trip for visiting this city. The day before, I was crossing Germany by train in order to join my final destination in the night. Fortunately, I found a room in a very cheap and nice hotel close to the station.
My morning in Germany
The next day was “The day”, my diary was full, and nevertheless I had some hours to visiting the town. It was in the beginning of January, the weather was cold and the ground slippery because of the black ice. That was a very funny morning during which I made some shopping down town.
My good German surprise
My fantastic journey in Germany ended in the beginning of the evening. I jumped in the car and crossed one more time this pleasant country by road.
I had very good surprise to see a TV in my hotel bedroom, so I could watch the news. In the morning, I was surprised to find a bus stop in the bottom of my hotel. There I could get a bus going to my final destination.
Leaving Germany
Switzerland mountains!!!
A week in Geneva
Nevertheless, I thank GOD for the last minute place found in a lodge of center Geneva. And I spent a very enjoyable journey in this cosmopolitan city. Thereby, I made the most of my trip by visiting unforgettable places like the Leman’s lake or the famous train station of Cormavin.Here’s the story of my travel by car in Switzerland where I discovered amazing mountains and fascinating lakes. For example, a lake called “Léman” with its nice beaches and the jet. Switzerland is a beautiful country inside the mountain of Alps, a very touristic place for several winter and summer sport. My discovery of Switzerland
Traveling by car was tremendous opportunity to peruse the landscape during my trip. And when I got to the city it’s was a challenge to find a place in a hotel. It’s was then that I realized the need to book an hotel before my departure.My departure from Switzerland After this awesome week, I went back by car of course to my home city. I bought a camera in order to capture the wonderful photos of my travel in Swiss Confederation.
La Résidence, Hué, Vietnam: hotel review
La Résidence, Hué, Vietnam: hotel review 2012
Overview
This former residence of the French envoy in colonial days is the place to stay in the city of Hué in central Vietnam. Hué is steeped in history, from the days of the imperial court to the Vietnam War, and La Résidence is perfectly located for getting around yet also nicely secluded. It was fully refurbished in 2011, when new wings were added. The 30m saltwater pool next to the river is fabulous and the spa is also first class (try the Monticelli mud wrap).
Location 8/10
Next to the Perfume River, on the opposite bank from the Citadel and the Imperial City (based on the Forbidden City in Beijing), within a pleasant riverbank stroll of the town.
La Résidence, in the Vietnamese city of Hué, resembles a landlocked ocean liner of the Twenties, says Nigel Richardson.
Most tourists eat in town but if you feel like splashing out, Le Parfum restaurant – a stunning setting of black lacquer, old photos and tropical plants – offers high-quality French and Asian fusion dishes: rice rolls (about £3), duck foie gras (£12), Australian beef tenderloin (£18). Elsewhere on the ground floor, Le Gouverneur Bar sprawls rather and lacks intimacy.

With 122 rooms and suites, La Résidence prides itself on being a boutique hotel. Rooms feature dark wood, silks, Art Deco features and Wi-Fi, and most have views across the river to the Citadel. The Resident Suite, on the top floor of the old governor's house, has a wonderful rooftop terrace with river views and isn't extortionate, at £235 per night.Food & drink 7/10

Burma: should British holiday makers visit?
Burma: should British holidaymakers visit?
Dave Cameron is to make an historic visit to Burma on Friday. Should British tourists be following in his footsteps?
What do you think? Should tourists be following in the Prime Minister's footsteps? Is tourism to Burma ethical? Should Britons be practicing small-scale tourism to the country, rather than travelling with large tour operators? How can this be achieved?
Having previously opposed tourism to Burma, Ms Suu Kyi relaxed her position last year, and said that low-key "individual tourism" would be welcomed. Her shift in attitude was first revealed in August 2011 by Telegraph Travel. Following the announcement, visitor numbers to Burma have soared, with reports of a shortage of tour guides and hotel rooms in Rangoon (Yangon), where facilities for tourism are still rudimentary. An increasing number of package operators are adding the country to their brochures.

David Cameron is to make an historic visit to Burma on Friday. He will become the first western leader in a generation to visit the country. His decision comes after the National League for Democracy, the party of Aung San Suu Kyi, won 43 seats in parliament in the first democratic elections for more than 50 years.

Oxford city break guide
Oxford city break guide:
Oxford is an international city on an intimate scale. One minute you can be pushing through crowded shopping streets, the next diving down a serene cobbled alleyway, its ancient stone walls laced with wisteria, or stepping through one of the college gatehouses into an enclosed and enigmatic world.
Renowned throughout the world as a centre of learning, and latterly as the home of Inspectors Morse and Lewis, Oxford blends medieval charm with the buzz of a modern city. The city may have given her name to everything from a prestigious dictionary to a bitter marmalade, but it is the university that most people associate with the town. Over the past eight centuries eminent scientists, philosophers, authors, archbishops, explorers and politicians have emerged from its ivory towers.
There is no best time to visit Oxford, as every season has its charms. In early spring the trees of North Oxford droop with blossom, though May is when Oxford perhaps looks her loveliest. The trees are in full leaf, the students are in celebratory mood and the famous “Bumps” (boat race) is taking place along the river. In summer the student throngs melt away, leaving the city to residents and tourists, and you can punt and picnic on the rivers Thames (or Isis, as it’s known here) and Cherwell.
Oxford has thrived not only because of its university but due to its connections. Unlike its great rival Cambridge, out in the austere eastern Fens, Oxford sits handily in the centre of England, with easy access to London and the international airports of Heathrow and Gatwick.
There’s an air of lazy romance about the city, although it’s also the time when crowds of boisterous foreign students clog the shopping streets. Autumn, when the university students return and the trees are burnished bronze, is mournfully beautiful and Christmas, when the streets are eerily quiet and the medieval buildings frosted in snow, can be magical.

You can walk across Oxford’s medieval heart in less than 20 minutes, though on your way don’t be surprised to find a famous face crossing your path, or to catch yourself eavesdropping on snatches of conversation that range from philosophy to politics to physics. Yet despite its lofty, intellectual air there’s a modern dynamism about the city, which bustles with small businesses, intriguing cafes, quirky shops and, nowadays, some of the best hotels and restaurants in the country.

Hadrian's Wall, walking coast to coast
The new Hadrian’s Wall footpath crosses wild and beautiful terrain, its route covering the shortest distance coast to coast across the country, following Hadrian’s ambitious frontier.
The Hadrian’s Wall footpath crosses wild and beautiful terrain, its route covering the shortest distance coast to coast across the country, following Hadrian’s ambitious frontier. Take advantage of the opportunity to walk the wall with a Roman military expert.We are walking west to east, starting gently along the shore of the Solway Firth, watching for the first surviving traces of the wall and its structures east of Carlisle, and ending with the excavated fort and reconstructed bath-house by the shipyards at Wallsend, with an expert to explain the archaeology.
The Hadrian’s Wall footpath is well-defined, but can be rough underfoot and steep in places. However, there are superb views over the Cumbrian and Northumbrian countryside, once important for strategic reasons, now a wonderful bonus for our walk. You will come away with a very different understanding of Hadrian’s gigantic undertaking.
This is a real walking holiday (up to 12.7 miles per day every day). There is a coach pick-up each evening and a return to a comfortable hotel, but should only be attempted by regular walkers who can manage hilly terrain and a variety of sometimes difficult stiles.

Which was your worst holiday?
What was your worst experience on holiday?
Years ago I sprained my ankle on the first day of skiing in Celerina , Switzerland. I had to watch the others for a long time. But then we decided to go and have a look at Venice, and that was perfect. So I was glad in the end I’d injured myself.
What’s the biggest packing mistake you’ve made?
When I went to Cape Town to film Kidnap and Ransom in 2011, it was sweltering in February – I was having to lie on the kitchen floor to keep cool because it had ceramic tiles. I didn’t have the right clothes. When I went back in 2012 for the second series, I just imagined it would be the same. It was cold and all I took was flip-flops and summer dresses, so I’d got it wrong again.
What’s the worst hotel you’ve stayed in?
We went to the Chelsea Hotel in New York City because of its bohemian past as the home of writers and musicians, and it was just horrible. We imagined we were being very bohemian, but all we wanted was clean sheets. I don’t want much from a hotel, but I do want clean sheets.
What do you avoid on holiday?
I avoid loads of people, because I’d rather have a bit of countryside and an experience that’s different from London, where I live.
What do you hate about holidays?
Nothing, although I always appreciate home when I come back. I always think this is the best place in the entire world. Britain gets a lot of things right; I worry for our future, but I think of the NHS and the BBC, our tolerance and our green belt and I just think we’re so privileged to live here. I’m always happy to come home.The feeding scheme was launched to help improve the nutritional status of the people of South Africa.
Which was your worst holiday?
We once booked a horse-drawn caravan in Ireland. The pictures on the website were absolutely idyllic, but the reality was a horse that absolutely hated us. We don’t know anything about horses. It used to go really slowly, so we’d try to make it go faster – they’d said “Kick it on!” – but we didn’t know what to do and it used to kick and bite us and we were all really scared of it. It ended with our pulling it along, with people making rude gestures to us out of their cars. The Irish seem to hate people in gipsy caravans. The axle came off on the bridge to Ballykissangel [Avoca, in County Wicklow], it rained the entire time and it was really depressing.

And the best hotel you've stayed in?
After the hustle and bustle of Bangkok, the island of Phuket has my favourite hotel in the world – the Amanpuri. It's absolutely exquisite. They've created the ultimate in discreet luxury, marrying the local exoticism with minimalism, while avoiding all the ridiculous pomp and ceremony you find in similar resorts around the world. It's very Zen and calming: you feel at one with nature because it has luxury huts rather than a single grandiose building. I've been twice and it costs the earth, but I'd love to visit again.
What do you need for a perfect holiday?
I prefer to travel from London to anywhere hotter. Apart from that, I think it's the company I'm away with that can really make or break a trip. Beyond that, I'm not particularly materialistic. I can do quite basic holidays and I can also do luxury – ultimately it's just about being able to get the time off. I'm always thinking about work, no matter where I am. I love my job, so I find it hard to switch off.
What do you always need to take with you?
My iPhone – I've not quite got to the point where I can turn my phone off when I'm on holiday. I'd like to get there one day, but it's yet to happen. I've also got to have my sketchpad and camera as I'm always making note of ideas and sights when I'm away.
Thursday I travelled up to London to attend the launch of the final report on the excavations carried out at San Vincenzo al Volturno in the region of Molise in Italy. Some Andante guests may remember visiting this site where the great Carolingian abbey with its remarkable painted crypts…

I think, that the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel London -Westminster is as close to a cultural epicenter as it's possible to get.The Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey and Tate Britain are just a short walk away, while the West End, financial institutions and the "square mile" in the City, South Bank and the London Eye are also within easy reach. Our own attractions are impressive, too: there's outstanding dining at our award-winning City Café, the informal-but-stylish atmosphere of Millbank Lounge and the on-top-of-the-world feeling of the Skylounge for a rendezvous with a view. Airy, modern rooms offer all the comforts you'd expect - and some you might not, like an Apple iMac and complimentary high-speed internet in every room and throughout the hotel.

What plans do I need to make before I travel?
It is a good idea to talk to your doctor or practice nurse well before you travel. If you are going to be away from home for more than a few weeks ask your doctor to give you a prescription for the length of your trip plus a little extra, in case of emergencies or if you lose any tablets. Your doctor can also tell you if there are any special precautions you should take and whether you need any extra medication or vaccinations.
