The Amalfi Coast -----Is this the best scenic route in Europe???

Advantages: Breathtakingly beautiful.
Disadvantages: The road is not one for the feint of heart

...THE AMALFI COAST One of my most memorable holidays was the two weeks I spent in the Bay of Naples. We fitted so much in to the 14 days we were there, it was an incredible holiday. We visited the fantastic Pompeii ( a must do experience worthy of a review of its own), we climbed to the top of Vesuvius, we visited Herculaneum, Capri, Sorrento, Naples and had an incredible couch journey around the Amalfi Coast. It is the Amalfi Coast that I am going to write this review about because it really is a spectacular part of the world - absolutley stunning, in fact the Amalfi Coast is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. The scenery along the coast makes you feel as if you are in the middle of a holiday post card - it does literally take your breath away - it is, from what I have seen, the most spectacular road in...

Review of The Amalfi Coast

A walk above the shores

Advantages: Spectacular coastline, with attractive towns and good walking
Disadvantages: A tourist trap, albeit a superior one

...Updating my review of Inntravel, as I have just done, reminds me of the Amalfi Coast. Or, more specifically, of a walking holiday that my wife and I took there a few years ago, organised by that company, which may serve as an example both their holidays and of the attractions of the area itself. It is not a destination we would normally have chosen for walking, an activity best enjoyed in mountain areas far from the madding crowd. The Amalfi Coast, although commendably hilly, is populous and has been a holiday resort since Roman times. On this occasion, though, business and family commitments constricted us to early April, so we sought somewhere southerly, not too high up and with other things to do besides walking if the weather proved adverse. In the event, we coincided with a freak cold spell and were even snowed...

Review of The Amalfi Coast

A taste of the Amalfi Coast in Thurrock

Advantages: good variety of dishes
Disadvantages: waiting time

...Food Mamma Amalfi is an Italian themed restaurant, similar to the likes of Bella Pasta. It is an ideal place to have a meal with a group of people as there is so much variety in the menu there is bound to be something to please everyone. There is a good range of seafood, vegetarian and meat dishes, which is great as I can take my non meat eating friends there without feeling guilty that they have only one option on the menu. There are also quite a few dishes that are not either pizza or pasta so even those who dont particularly fancy an Italian should find something they like. I am not an expert on Italian Cuisine and have no idea whether this is at all like authentic Italian food but I really enjoy the rich and flavourful sauces of their pasta dishes, and have had some of my best pasta dishes there. Price I think the food...

Review of Mama Amalfi

The Italian Job

Advantages: The most beautiful place in the world?
Disadvantages: You're going to have to wade through this novel to find out why

...Once upon a time I was very much in love with an Italian, who was very bad for me. He was nearly twice my age, didn't work but raced and wrote about Italian cars. He lived in England but visited Italy often. One spring he needed to go over to Italy to retrieve some money from a small Italian bank that was refusing / ignoring requests to transfer funds to the UK. He invited me to come with him and tour the Amalfi coast at the same time. We flew to Naples (you can fly BA, Alitalia, Lufthansa, Swissair, Iberia, AirFrance, BMI, Easyjet - the list is endless) and picked up a hire car. If you do the same, lock your boot - a favourite way to rip off tourists at the moment is to bang another car into a hire car (conspicuous by being the only cars on the road without bumps and dents) while an accomplice steals the bags out of the boot while...

Review of The Amalfi Coast

I love Coast!!

Advantages: Gorgeous design, clothes that last and last, clothes that make you feel special
Disadvantages: Price

...Intro Coast is my favourite shop in the world. The prices are such that I am unable to pop in and buy something every week (until I win the lottery that is!) . That aside I would rather save up for something special from Coast rather than go to the cheap shops I normally frequent all the time. The quality of the material is gorgeous, you always feel special in a Coast outfit and I love the design of nearly everything in the shop! You will also see below how everyone can afford something in Coast if they go there in the sales. Incidentally the stores are dotted all over Britian and there is nearly always one in your Debenhams, House of Fraser or Beatties. The Clothes The clothes are all of gorgeous quality, a lot of them being 100% silk. They have the classic strapless dresses (come with optional straps) which are timeless...

Coast to Coast

Advantages: Some fantastic tracks
Disadvantages: Some not so good tracks

...Shane, Bryan, Kian, Nicky and Mark. They were signed by Simon Cowell and are currently managed by Louis Walsh. Since their formation the bands music has greatly evolved and moved from teen pop to contempary adult music. In 2004 Bryan left the band to work on solo projects but despite rumours the rest of the band carried on performing and are still performing today. Together the boys have released - albums, sold more than 40 million records worldwide and gained 14 number one singles in the UK Their albums are; Westlife, Coast to Coast, World of Our Own, Unbreakable, Turnaround, Allow us to be Frank, Face to Face, The Love Album, and Back Home.

Review of Coast To Coast - Westlife

Sorrento Pompeii and Amalfi Coast

Advantages: ideal for non flyers wishing to travel to the warmer climate of the med.
Disadvantages: NOT A TRIP FOR CHILDREN WHO WILL GET RESTLESS ON A LONG COACH JOURNEY

...August 2007 Holiday with WA Shearings to Sorrento and Amalfi Coast Italy. Using the Grand Tourer Service. August 2007. Decided on this type of holiday as my wife had taken a dislike to flying! This seemed the best option of a holiday abroad, in the sun. This particular tour offered a 6 night stay at a resort (SORRENTO) Others are based on a total Touring option. Organisation. Our Holiday began at our chosen pick up point where my wife and I were collected by a Feeder Vehicle (in this case a people carrier) The timing was exactly as predicted on our itinery. We were picked up and set off on time. Then to a neighboring town where other passengers were waiting to be collected. Onwards to a motorway services which served as a central location where other feeder vehicles were arriving. Once all the feeder services had...

Review of Shearings Coach Holidays

Jurassic Coast

Advantages: Fantastic scenery throughout / Only real example of such a variety of landforms / Plenty of other things to explore
Disadvantages: There are very few, of which many really aren't relavent

...-Introduction- The Purbeck coast, runs from Lulworth to Swanage and Studland. It is well renowned for being one of the most versatile and active coastlines in the Britain and even the world. It is home to some of the most spectacular coastal landforms and anywhere and is generally very picturesque. It is somewhere that is quite local to me and I have recently visited the area on a geography field trip with the school. I do feel that it somewhere that pretty much any type of tourist will enjoy, for one reason or another. I will say this now so that you know to expect it, but there will be numerous geographical references, that I will make sure that I explain in an easily understandable fashion. -Durdle Door- This is one of the most prominent and outstanding coastal formations along the coast. It has been formed over...

Review of Purbeck Coast

'Liks Rockin' From Coast II Coast

Advantages: Bangers throughout
Disadvantages: Nothing specific

...The 1995 release, "Coast II Coast", is the second album from the LA-based Hip Hop trio of E-Swift, J-Ro and Tash, better known as Tha Alkaholiks. I knew very little about the group prior to this, but had heard a banger of a tune on the "Friday Soundtrack", and had to find out more about them. 1. "WLIX" (Intro) 2. "Read My Lips" To get things going, they get into the type of thing which you typically expect from the crew as they get into some hard, head-bopping Hip Hop with hardcore themes, strongly contrasting from what the mainstream acts from this area were coming with. **Five Stars** 3. "Let It Out" Continuing what you heard in the last track, Tha 'Liks go for a banger of a track, I which they talk about how they are unable to hold in their energy, and so have to come out with hyped up tunes like this to bring in all who...

Review of Coast II Coast - Tha Alkaholiks

Hollywood on the Gold Coast

Advantages: Lots to do
Disadvantages: Food in the park not fantastic

...Movie World Movie World is described as Hollywood on the Gold Coast (granted smaller than the real thing). It includes thrill rides all-family fun with shows and attractions. Every corner you turn you feel like you have been placed in a cartoon. It is opened daily from 10am to 5.30pm. On Anzac Day it opens later at 1.30pm and it is closed on Christmas Day. Warner Bros Movie World is located on the M1 Pacific Motorway at Oxenford, and is 21kms north of Surfers Paradise. You can get a shuttle bus that will run directly to the park from Surfers. We bought our tickets on the bus so we didn't have to queue in the long queues. Tickets cost $69 adult and $45 for a child. One Australian dollar equals to roughly 0.445 United Kingdom pounds. **GUEST COMFORTS** Guest services are at the front of the park once you go in the main doors...
