London (England) Reviews


We stayed at the Marriott for a long weekend in London on a dinner, show & hotel present which was very welcome (thanks Tina & Dave ). We wathed 'Avenue Q' for the show and dined at the Angus Steakhouse.

The meal and show culture in London is well worth a try as most of the restaurants and shows are fantastic (albeit quite pricey when not part of a present .

The following day we did some typical London tourist attractions which are well recommended:

London Dungeons - nothing traditional or cultural about this but very entertaining.

Tower of London - We saw the crown Jewels and got a taste of Medievil England.

River Cruise on the Thames - Very nice but tour guide trying to be funny was annoying.

London Shopping - Shopping around Oxford Circus and Knightsbridge (Harrods) was a nice (but expensive experience

Travel Reviews of Orlando


Orlando is without doubt my favourite travel destination. You could never run out of things to do in this place. As ide from the theme parks and there associated resorts it is less than an hours drive to the nearest beach, you could take in a basketball game and there are good shopping malls with excellent prices.

However the theme parks are the main attraction for most visitors to Orlando and this is what makes it such a brilliant destination. The theme parks and water parks at Disney and Universal as well as sea world are not your ordinary theme parks. Unlike the masses of steel and concrete we often experience in the UK and elsewhere the Florida parks are superbly themed taking guests on a journey out of this world and into worlds of movies, adventure, super heroes, pirates, cartoons and animals among others. the attention to detail is breathtaking and the attractions are first class. also nightime entertainment and restuarants are provided in the theme parks and outside in their resorts i.e. Downtown Disney or Universal City Walk. If you have children you must take them to Orlando for the family holiday of a lifetime.
