Looking for a refreshing summer break this year? Well here’s how you can mix city with countryside… The original idea was to promptly get down to the Dordogne for a bit of kayaking adventure, however I managed to persuade my partner to add a couple city breaks either side of the trip. After all, we [...]

I have just returned from an amazing trip to Tanzania; it is well worth writing about because it ticked all the right boxes and gave me a holiday which combined action and adventure with relaxation and sunshine.

Himalayan Great Trekking Adventure

Joe — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 12:16:58 +0000
