...Ever though what is paradise?
Well let me tell you about the Cayman Islands. They are 3 beautiful little islands (or splashes of colour as we call them) situated in the middle of the Caribbean in between Jamaica and Cuba. Originally discovered by Christopher Columbus after seeing Turtles nearby. The island is a British Overseas Territory so many things operate similar to Britain including driving on the left.
The Main Island and home to the Capital George Town is Grand Cayman. This is where most people visiting the Cayman Islands will come to weather it be by plane or cruise ship. The smaller sister island have very few residents and even less tourism. However are very beautiful and great for that unspoilt feel.

Lot-Lot
Advantages: Beautiful, good for health, Peaceful and it's worth visiting Disadvantages: Gales, Distance of the town from the port of tarbert, Harris

Advantages: Comfort and lovely personal attention Disadvantages: none really
...We had tried to book one of the posh hotels in Bath but alas all were full or so prohibitively expensive that we couldnt afford them, so we opted for a guest house instead. However, Paradise House is no ordinary Guest house as we soon discovered.
We booked through laterooms.com whom we have often used and found very good in general and were looking forward ot a lovely relaxation trip to Bath and all its wonders. We were not to be disappointed.
We found finding the hotel a little tricky as it is not well sign posted, however on arrival we knew we were onto a winner. The place is spottless with lots of those little personal details that make the difference.
Our room was large and spacious without being intimidatiing with a large window overlooking the surrounding Bath countryside. There were a few posters on the walls which we didnt...
