Brentwood Bay Lodge and Spa, Victoria Bc

Coconut Bay Resort & Spa (And NOW Photos: 19/2/08)

Advantages: Close to the airport for transfers, Great Food.
Disadvantages: Lots of seaweed gets washed up on the beach.

plenty of sea-weed to gather. Sea: Its wet! Ok, its warm and some smallish waves. There is some shingle as well as sand. Fish come in close to the shore and love red things, so if you have RED nail-varnish on, expect them to nip you. (Boy did my partner scream when this happened). They seem ok with purple though!!" Rooms: The rooms are quite large and pleasant. There are 2 blocks for all the accomodation with lifts to the upper floors. Rooms have spacious wardrobes within them, a TV, tea & coffee making equipment, a settee and a balcony. The ground floor rooms open out onto the pool area so great for getting out if you have kids & buggys. Spa: The spa area is seperate within the grounds with reasonable prices. This is a self contained building where various 'spa' type services are offered. Many people get an automatic credit to ...

Review of Coconut Bay Resort & Spa, Vieux Fort

My Bay

Advantages: tasty addition to stews and cassorole
Disadvantages: maybe to strong for your taste

They may die off in the winter but should throw new shoots during the following spring. Bay is a native to the east mediterranean but have been grown in europe for years. They are a very popular herb to grow in your herb garden as they have a good use in cookery. You can use the leaves dried or fresh. Bay leaves have a very strong aromatic ...

Review of Bay

Nature at Bay

Advantages: Accessible, attractive, atmospheric
Disadvantages: Covers too small an area

As you walk west towards the sunset along the beach at Le Crotoy, the rattle of shingle soon gives way to the soft crunch of seashells in the sand beneath your feet. Before long you are away from the town and the only other sound to be heard is from out in the estuary, a mixed chorus of gulls, geese and sandpipers. They rise and fall in flurries amid the creeks in the grey-green mud. Dusk descends, and a red navigation light flashes out to sea. When you turn to retrace your footsteps, a trail of luminescent dots discloses the habitations on the far side of the bay of the Somme. * Why go, and how? * Even the most enthusiastic advocates (like me) of overnight shopping/eating/drinking trips to France have to admit that the area around Calais and Boulogne does sometimes become a bit overrun with English visitors (like me ...
