The domed Dom

Advantages: beautiful;, fascinating, reasonable, the coffins
Disadvantages: chrage for toilet and church, museum and website only in German

...Last year I had a very unique opportunity to work in another country. I normally work at St Paul's Cathedral and got the chance to work in the Berlinerr Dom (Berlin Cathedral) for a week as an English tour guide. I was living right on top of my work place, as I was staying in a guest apartment in the cathedral's bell tower. I fell in love with Berlin and its cathedral so thought I would give you a virtual tour of this amazing building. Take a pew and sit back and enjoy. The Berlinerr Dom is very easy to get to as it is located in the central district of Mitte just by the Museum Island (where all the major museums are in Berlin). It is also just off one of Berlin's min streets Unter Den Linden, which runs from the Brandenburg Gate to the Berliner Dom and beyond. It is easy to get to the Berlinerr Dom. A number of buses go...

Review of Berliner Dom

RESTAURANTE O PEDRO a delight.

Advantages: A jovial and attentive waiter
Disadvantages: None

...We were on our Annual Short break to Tavira in Portugal on the Algarve. The previous September my Brother Rob, and his by far better half Roz had been caught up in the XL Failure so had ended up with a replacement holiday in Cabanas, a small town juts an 8 Euro Taxi ride from Tavira. So on the Sunday Luch we tripped over to Cabanas, there were six on this jaunt, Rob/Roz Anne and Daughter Sheryl and Jane and I. Rob/Roz had a Restaurant in mind, Restaurante Fonte (See Bostonianbeer review on it), but alas although owners were there and remembered Rob/Roz they were not open until the evening. Never mind we had a wander, purused a few menus and settled on the RESTAURANTE O PEDRO. It looked a small place with about 7 tables out front, as the Sun was shining we asked the waiter outside for tables for 6, at this point we...

Review of Restaurante O Pedro, Cabanas, Algarve

Poodling Pedro

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Overdrives cars

...I expected big things form De la Rosa. instead he drives into people and over people instead of around them. He did very well at A1 ring but only because nearly everyone went out on the first corner. Then the car let go. Also, Jos's car last a lot longer than Pedro's which makes me wonder if he is overdriving it. Engines that let go that often are not normally manufacturers fault. Drivers are simply overdriving them. Same as Johnny Hebert. No way can someone have such bad luck with engines. He just breaks them. Go to Indy Car racing Johnny, and take Pedro with you!!!...

Good ol' Dom

Advantages: Cut above the Rest
Disadvantages: not worth the extra cost

...Background: ----------------- Dom Perignon was the 17th century Benedictine monk who has gone down in history as the person who invented Champagne. His name was originally registered by Eugene Mercier. He sold the brand name to Moet & Chandon, which uses it as its prestige champagne Tasting! ---------- I have tried a good few (read: too many!) Champagnes in the last few years and recently had a bottle of the good stuff, a 1998 Dommy. My mother in law decided to get a few for her 50th b'day so like all good wine connoisseurs we decided to pit our taste buds aginst it. First the bottle. A touch of class resides in the label with little (read none) information given to the grapes used or other. However the label does stand out compared to others with its shield like style. (Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are used in roughly...

Review of Dom Perignon Champagne

Javier de Pedro signs for Blackburn.

Advantages: Now playing in England for Blackburn.
Disadvantages: Could have come sooner.

...Graeme Souness may have bought some good people over the last few years as manager, Brad Friedel, the ill-fated Barry Ferguson and the young Jonathan Stead. But unlike all of these players, excluding Friedel, Souness has bought De Pedro for nothing. Javier De Pedro is Spanish, he was born on August 4th 1973, so he still in his prime. He is 180cms tall and plays in midfield. Souness still needs to buy a good midfielder after he sold off Dunn and Duff. De Pedro was signed on a two year deal so we have a lot of time to see how good he really is as a player. De Pedro is said to have been a proven goalscorer from freekicks and he weighs in with lots of assists as well. De Pedro has played twenty times for the Spanish national side. So, De Pedro looks like the sort of player that Blackburn need ; a left winger with a lot of expierience...

Review of Javier De Pedro

My One Minute of Pleasure.

Advantages: Best of the best
Disadvantages: Expensive for the average waitress

...Having had occasion to taste Champagne on a regular basis working in Michelin starred restaurants (for training purposes of course) I had so far, throughout my working life, been denied the taste of the famed Dom Pérignon. I had come to know and love the Laurent Perrier?s, the Taittinger?s and once had occasion to taste a wonderful Louis Roederer in its vintage year of 1989. However, I am no connoisseur of Champagne and would go so far to saying that Champagne is a fashion statement, an utter waste of money, over-rated and sometimes disappointing to experience after the build-up of realising that you are actually drinking the magical elixir. On the flip side Champagne is luxurious, decadent and indulgent. Illusions of famous movie stars in 1930?s Hollywood, casually sipping their Champagne at some exclusive post-picture party come...

FOLLOW THE MAGI TO COLOGNE

Advantages: History. Scale. Drama. Art. Views. Free Admission.
Disadvantages: Crowds. Luggage.

...I will refer throughout to the subject of this review as Cologne Cathedral, that being the familiar English term for it. If you wish to carry out further research you will also need to know the German title: "Kolner Dom". Two of my great interests in life are architecture and history; seldom do they merge better and in more spectacular style than in the great churches and cathedrals. Over the years I have enjoyed visiting virtually all of the cathedrals in England - many in Poland during the last seven years too. Since my late teens there had been one cathedral above all others that I had wanted to visit - Cologne. However well one may, or may not, know Cologne, Germany, or even in a much wider sense church architecture, the iconic silhouette of Cologne Cathedral, with its truly colossal twin towers, will probably be familiar to...

"Last night I dreamed of San Pedro"

Advantages: Amazing wildlife, Mayan temples, cheap day trips & food
Disadvantages: Run down, ghettos, high visible unemployment & homelessness

..."It all seems like yesterday not far away" or so Madonna sang anyway in 'La Isla Bonita'. For me it all seems like 3 weeks ago, and so I decided, to get busy writing up my experiences of my honeymoon in Belize. The reason for the Madonna quote, if you were wondering, is that, just off Belize is the island which inspired Madonna's song, Ambergris Caye (home of San Pedro), and it is in places truly beautiful. But more about that later. General Point on this review ************************************* Just as a warning before I do begin, the way I've done this review is to write an account day by day of our experiences in Belize. Because this review would be 50 pages long if I went into real detail of each trip I have mentioned each place in summary, but will be writing specific accounts in separate reviews of all places...

Souvenirs of Paradise

Advantages: Beautiful
Disadvantages: tourists found it!

...San Pedro, in the natural park of the Cabo de Gata, along the Costa de Almeria, in Andalusia, was such an exceptional place that I kept it to myself for over 15 years! But the inevitable has happened, and people will always talk about good things, which has lead to a profound and sad change of this, what used to be, paradise on earth! ¨?"°º•۝•º°"?¨¨?"°º•۝•º°"?¨¨?"°º •۝•º°"?¨¨¨?"°º•۝•º°"?¨¨ It was through a cockney friend of mine that I first heard of San Pedro, 20 years ago. It was during my holidays in Mojacar, not so far north from San Pedro, that my curiosity got me there. To get to San Pedro, I took a bus from Almeria, to Las Negras. Once on Las Negras beach, I turned left and walked over the cliffs, for a good 3 of 4 kilometers along a sometimes very narrow...
