We have just returned from a Week-end in Porto.
We were looking for a Hotel that had good location and some olde world charm, so this one seemed to tick the boxes.
We booked it thru Octopustravel.com for £165 that being for a Double Room with Buffet Breakfast for three nights (About £27 per person per night B&B).
Getting to the Hotel from the Airport can not be easier. You get the Metro from the Airport, you can not get on the wrong one as that is the start of the line, no changes necessary just stay on unti the BOLHAO stop (approx 25 mins) cost 1 Euro 85 Cents (purchase ticket from Tourist Info Booth in arrival hall, or if braver from the Ticket Machines in the Metro (Do have an English Button) for instructions.
At the Bolhao stop come up into the Street Opposite a large Church With Blue Tiles, turn corner about 90 yards ...
Advantages: Lovely Reception/Bar area Disadvantages: Uncomfy beds
I have just been to Krakow in Poland for my stag do and this is a review of the hotel that I stayed in while in Krakow. For those of you who are looking for some juicy gossip from the stag may I just remind you before I go any further about the first rule of a stag which is 'What happens on the stag, stays on the stag.' This is not a kop-out on my part but just simply due to the fact that I do not remember much about it!
**GETTING TO THE HOTEL**
We flew with Ryanair from Glasgow Prestwick Airport direct to Krakow Airport, a flight which took about two and a half hours. We nearly never made it to Poland as the pilot announced that he may not be able to land the flight due to a very drunk Polish guy on the plane who was refusing to either sit down or fasten his seat belt for landing. The story that was passing round the plane ...
Advantages: The advantages are that you have no contact with the outside world. It's an adventure into nature, where you learn to enjoy life a bit more. Disadvantages: You must wisely choose the time of the year if you don't want to catch the rainy season... also, since you are part of nature, there are no shops, although the resort sells basic things. The closest town is 30 minutes away by boat.
I thought i might explore my own country a little bit more and go on a romantic getaway with my European boyfriend. We went to Rio de Janeiro, but after a week of the usual tourist attractions i wanted to show him a part of Rio less exploited. I took him to a little resort on Ilha Grande -an island that has no roads, no mcdonalds, no transportation other than canoes and boats... it was more than paradise. We arrived on a foggy afternoon, and as the island came closer, the abundant nature created a green coloured sky - unbelievable. We had a delicious dinner, and then went to sleep at 9:00pm. The next morning, at 8:00am, we woke up to the sun shining through our "curtain" doors... we had a fruity breakfast, and then off to the boat for a trip around the beautiful beaches of Ilha Grande. Back to the resort, you can either relax in ...
