...Pewsey is situated in south Wiltshire and is one of the biggest villages. It has around 5000 residents. It has become a great place to live as there is a fast route to Paddington Station by train. HISTORY Pewsey was once owned by a Saxon king, King Alfred, and in the centre of Pewsey there is a statue of King Alfred now, it was built in June 1913. King Alfred was crowned King of Wessex in 870 CE it has been said that he went off to war and left his wife in the care of the people of Pewsey.

...Last week I came back from a holiday in Greece. We went to Rhodes and stayed in the Rodos Village in Kiotari. The Rodos Village is a 5 star all-inclusive resort which is situated in the east west coast of the island. We took a taxi from the airport to the hotel (this was a pre-paid transfer from our holiday provider) The taxi took around an hour to get to the hotel.

...Embudu Village - Maldives The Maldives are off the lower west tip of Indian in the middle of the Indian Ocean. They are made up of several beautiful Atolls. Each Atoll has many islands and coral reefs, which look stunning from the air. Embudu Village is in the South Male Atoll. The Size of the Island is small only 280m x 240m Flying time from the UK is average 10.5 hours. This time we flew with Thomsonfly (see my other review for details) Transfer from the Airport is 45mins by slow boat or 20mins by fast speed boat. This Island is rated 2*+, But is worthy of at least a 3*+ we booked this Island solely on recommendations and great reviews. So we were not sure what to expect. The basic price ( with no upgrades) for 2 weeks in an Island room on Full Board, flights and transfers was a bargain £800 each. You can... Read review
