The Perfect Bath Day Trip Itinerary – Ideal for those on a Budget!

Perfect Bath Day Trip Itinerary " width="1024" height="768" /> The beautiful World Heritage city of Bath is one of England’s top highlights . Even if only you’re travelling in this country for a week or so, then you really can’t miss this stunning town situated in the country’s south west corner . Unbelievably, I hadn’t visited this gem in my home country, until this summer – 32 years in! With a trip to Bristol to see friends booked (read more about the best free things to do in Bristol here), Bath seemed like the perfect accessory , only 15 minutes away by train. But Bath certainly isn’t just a Bristol accessory, it’s very much a jewel in its own crown – in fact it’s amazing just how close and how different the 2 cities are. Bath is all glamour, while Bristol is all grit. Both are magnificent, it just depends what you’re into. And FYI: I’m into both!

Germany's Black Forest and Cologne – Rick Steves' Europe TV Show Episode

After visiting Germany's greatest Gothic Cathedral in Cologne, we'll enjoy the good life German -style at a top mineral spa and try our luck at the Versailles of casinos in Baden-Baden, then crank some old-time music and explore an open-air museum in the romantic Black Forest . Roman-Germanic Museum One of Germany's top Roman museums offers minimal English among its elegant and fascinating display of Roman artifacts : glassware, jewelry, and mosaics. All these pieces are evidence of Cologne's status as an important site of civilization long before the cathedral was ever imagined. Cologne Cathedral The Gothic Dom — Germany's most exciting church — looms immediately up from the train station in one of Germany's starkest juxtapositions of the modern and the medieval. One-hour English-only tours of the cathedral are reliably excellent (2/day Mon–Sat, 1/day Sun). For a workout of 509 steps, you can enjoy a fine city fiew from the cathedral's spire, ...

Norwegian Epic July 2017 - Rome Embarkation - Norwegian (NCL) Review

This was my first time traveling with Norwegian, and first time ever in Europe with one of my best friends. I had only ever traveled with Carnival before, so I was very impressed with the interior of the ship and it's overall size; much larger and more extravagant on the inside. Very detailed, many places to eat, really good layout. We had a few issues on board. For starters, we found out days later that our steward was supposed to come to our room to introduce himself and show us around our room, how everything worked. That never happened. 7 days on the ship and never met him. We also had issues receiving our tickets for our shore excursion s. We booked all three of our excursions with Norwegian, and every single time, we had to go downstairs to the excursion desk to get copies of our tickets, as our steward could never bring them to our room on time. We actually never got our tickets for our last excursion. We had to get a pamphlet with the shore excursion meeting times and Mor...
