Advantages: affordable value carribean Disadvantages: you will need insect repellent!
...9 hours on a cramped Thomas cook charter flight was worth it after finally arriving at the Melia Cayo santa maria.From the airport(Santa Clara) to the hotel is an hour and a half by road across an amazing dual carriageway which joins Cuba to the island of Santa Maria.This is similar to the Florida keys road seen on many tourist photographs and meanders curling around like a snake with the sea feet away on both sides from your coach.
The hotel itself has modern low rise (2 storey) blocks scattered throughout the complex all tastefully furnished and air conditioned (boy do you need that!),It has two glorious free form swimming pools with a swim up bar and plenty of places to eat.You have two reservations per week at the two a la carte restaraunts (the best by far is the mediteranean where the fillet mignon is superb!)and the 24 hour pool...

Advantages: A really little jewel you can't miss... Disadvantages: The most important part of it it's his exterior view
...All of the people in the world has already name Pisa because of the tower. Not so many people knows the other interesting things Pisa has to offer.
It is a mix of various architectural styles grown up as time passed by.
I live there, so before I start with my review about the church, I just may give you some suggestions in the case you'd like to visit Pisa.

Its main buildings were started in the medieval age and some in the Renaissance.
Campo dei miracoli and S. Maria della Spina are middle age oriented, also if with a lot of Arabic influences.
It hosted a lot of famous personalities: it's Galileo Galilei born city...

Advantages: Away from the Tourist Hoards of St Marks. Disadvantages: None
...Just returned from our annual anniversery trip to Venice and noticed that no-one has done a review on this church as yet.
Just Jump on Vaperreto Number 2 outside St Marks.
As you stand by the water at St Marks you can not but notice a large Church on the opposite side of the Canal which is the Church of Santa Maria Della Salute, I am afraid I did not take any photos this year as the main dome is covered in scaffolding, in fact there seemed to be more buildings this year that were being worked on.
This is not a critism of Venice, by its nature restortaion work is a necessity.
It was on 22 October 1630 that the Senate of Venice decided to build a Church to Honour the Madonna to mark the end of the Plague which had devestated Venice.
So the first stone was laid on April 1st 1631, what a change from here where it seems to take...

This is a beautiful hotel situated right at the end of the main promanade in Funchal. The views across the ocean, and into the city are perfect, with the sun setting over golden cliffs to the west in the evening towards the harbour. The hotel is situated more
