Advantages: Perfect get away Disadvantages: Car rental advisable
We went to Kenya in January 2005 for three weeks. My partner had worked out there previously but it was my first visit. Rather than go to an all inclusive resort where they tell you not to leave the compound, we decided to look for private accomodation to rent. They tell you not to leave the compound due to it being dangerous but its only as dangerous as any other strange place you might visit!!

Advantages: A historical building Disadvantages: disappointing and spoilt by the owners

We were all in high spirits and enjoying our food and refreshments, I dropped the bombshell that I wanted to see the house, they did try to dissuade me as they were now getting slightly tired and wanted to do a little retail ...

Advantages: "We joined the navy to see the world?." Disadvantages: "And what did we see? We saw the sea." (Irving Berlin)
?I must go down to the seas again,
To the lonely sea and the sky.? (John Masefield)
Never fear; I?m not about to start waxing lyrical about the sea. I?m more in the Irving Berlin camp than in the Masefield. I quote the lines above to illustrate the fact that even the most feverish of fanatics for the sea has to admit that maritime views are limited, consisting as they do of just two lonely elements: water and sky. And it?s stretching a point to include the sky, which can equally be seen above land as above sea. So, essentially, we?re talking about water.
Water, it might be argued, is not entirely monotonous to look at. The sea has moods, which it expresses in the colour of its complexion. Sometimes, it can be a tranquil turquoise, sometimes an inscrutable indigo, sometimes a grudging greeny-grey. Occasionally, it rears ...
