Oia, Santorini

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

Oia, a village the north end of the island of Santorini is considered one of the best places in the world to view a beautiful sunset. So, this seemed the best location on the island. Be prepared for a bit of a trek to get to your hotel though. After a 45 minute taxi ride, which could only be described as a close re-enactment of ‘The Italian Job’, you arrive at the village square. From there donkeys carry your luggage the quarter of a mile up and down steps to the hotel perched on the side of the volcano caldera. Read More

St Malo

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

St Malo is a great place to stay either for a holiday or stopover. We stayed at the Hotel Broceliande, great rooms and great breakfast to set you up for the day. The old town is fascinating and we ate several times at the Lion D’or by one of the gates. On another day we wanted a fruit de mer and went to another restaurant. As you go through the main gate where the roundabout is, the restaurant is on the left in front of you. It has a kiosk selling ‘takeaways’ in the street opposite the gate. We looked at the ‘takeaways’ which is obviously next to the kitchen and could see flies all over the seafood; we decided to go somewhere else. A great bar is the Alchemist. Wonderful memories!

The Maldives is a beautiful part of the world,however this was our second visit and we were utterly disappointed with Anantara. The resort itself is stunning, but the service lacks greatly. Read More
