Friday Night - Harbour Lights

Advantages: Some nights offers all inclusive admission price, good fast food
Disadvantages: Taxi service back from HL can vary

...Harbour Lights is undoubtedly one of the best known nightspots in Barbados, and of course it is well known in Britain as well as on the island. Some might baulk at a $B35-45 (GBP12-15) entrance fee but the alcohol is all inclusive for this fee on a Friday night, and the measures are generous. Harbour Lights is partially outdoors, and even at night it is still plenty warm enough to dance under the stars. The food is your standard fast food, and is reasonably priced. Throughout the week there are special theme nights, and the punters tend to be many tourists, although there are also Bajans there. One thing to watch out for though is the price you get charged for a cab when you leave Harbour Lights. Some unscrupulous drivers will say one fee and then charge you another. One trip to St Lawrence Gap cost $B55 (GBP18), whilst we had...

Review of Barbados - Harbour Lights

Whitby's wonderful harbour

Advantages: Lots of history, plenty to see and do
Disadvantages: Some areas are not suitable for disabled visitors

...Whitby is a small fishing town in the north east of England and in my opinion it is one of the most beautiful picturesque seaside locations in this part of England. The town itself has a real old worldly feel to it with its bustling narrow streets and each week thousands of visitors descend on the town to soak up its charm. At the heart of Whitby is its harbour and without this harbour there is no doubt that Whitby would not be the wonderful place that we find today. The town grew up along the two opposite banks of the River Esk, which is spanned by a swing bridge that was constructed in 1908. It is however known that a bridge has spanned this river since medieval times, whilst the town itself predates that by a further thousand years or more. Whitby's most famous landmark, its abbey was built in the year 657AD. Today, Whitby...

Review of Whitby Harbour

The Sydney Harbour Bridge

Advantages: Read Opp
Disadvantages: Read Opp

...My next review is on the Sydney Harbour Bridge, which is perhaps one of the most iconic monuments in Sydney, if not the whole of Australia. The Bridge is the main thing that stands out when you first arrive in Sydney, its like their gateway into and out of the City, and with its sheer size, its something that people should take the time to look at up close and personal. History: The bridge has a long history, original plans to create the bridge started in the late 1890?s however construction didn?t actually start until the mid 1920?s. The bridge?s total length is a mammoth 1149 metres (3,770 ft), and according to the World Records book the bridge has the tallest arch steel frame measuring 134 meters (429.6 ft) The bridge is accessible by many modes on transport which include, train, car toll, and walking. The bridge connects two main...

Review of Sydney Harbour Bridge

Harbour Park

Advantages: Children will love it and its FREE to get in
Disadvantages: Gets very busy

...After living in West Sussex, and Littlehampton being just up the road, Harbour Park is a great place to take your children. It?s a big tourist attraction so it does get busy throughout the holidays. Harbour Park is in Littlehampton, West Sussex coast. To get to Harbour Park is very easy, it?s just off the A27. Trains and Buses run regular to Littlehampton, and it?s a 5 ? 10 minute walk from the train station. Harbour Park is on the seafront it has a sandy beach. Where normally if you were to walk anywhere else on the West Sussex coast its all pebbles. Not good for sitting on let me tell you. You can see the River Arun and its marina. It?s a lovely view. Harbour Park is great for the whole family if you all want a good day out. Harbour Park is open all year round, except Christmas day. Your probably thinking ?How much? well...

Review of Harbour Park

De Vere Grand Harbour Hotel, Southampton

Advantages: Fantastic rooms, friendly staff, great location
Disadvantages: some of the other guests seem to think their a bit special!

...the town. The next room up would be the Delux room these are exactly the same as the standard rooms except they also have a small seating area and a view over the harbour - the view alone is well worth the extra money! You then have the Executive room which is the same as the the Delux just a little bigger, with the executive rooms you can choose between town view and harbour view. Then there are the suites, there are junior suites, these are the rooms i have stayed in and although a little more pricey than the rest of the rooms the are well worth the extra money for a special occasion. They are very big rooms that have a kingsize bed, a seperate lounge area normally a sofa and a dining table and chairs, as well as a large balcony with patio furniture. You get upgraded toliletries in these rooms and the last time i went they were all from...

Thomas lights the way at bedtime

Advantages: Helps give your child confidence at bedtime.
Disadvantages: The character theme of the nightlight will make not suitable for some.

...~Drifting off to sleep~ My son has always been an active baby, since birth he was lifting his head to see what was going on around him when he was only a few days old. He has always been alert, active, inquisitive, and lively so when he needed to sleep during the day it always took him a bit of effort to switch off. Luckily once he was asleep he would sleep for a good amount of time, and at bedtime he became quite fussy as he couldn?t soothe himself to sleep easily, once he was asleep he would sleep through the night only waking for a feed. We tried different methods to sleep train him from birth, and even though he was in a routine and we would wined down the day with the light dimmed and take a calm, soft, gentle approach to the bedtime routine it still took him quite a bit of effort to get into the land of nod. Once he had...

Review of Worlds Apart Thomas Go Glow Light

Darling Harbour

Advantages: A Fantastic place to stop a relax
Disadvantages: None that I can think of...

...Darling Harbour is a small area of Sydney that lies alongside the Chinese garden and only about 10 minutes walk from the centre of Sydney. The atmosphere in the harbour is much more relaxed than in the centre of the city and it seems as if you could be miles away. The easiest way to get there is to walk from the city centre, but we found it quite by accident when we were on the monorail. On one side of the harbour are a shopping centre and various fast food restaurants and cafes. The shopping centre has quite a reasonable selection of shops, but beware of the ultra-tacky souvenirs! The harbour side itself is really nice to walk round and the cafes are great to sit and enjoy a drink or ice cream and watch the world go by. You can take the ‘Land Train’ around the harbour but this is just a tractor pulling some...

Review of Darling Harbour

Climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge

Advantages: Fantstic views, sense of real achievement
Disadvantages: Quite pricy, need to book

...One of the biggest tourist attractions in Sydney is the Sydney Harbour Bridge. There it stands at the Quay Side all majestic and quite frankly massive. You can walk over the bridge as a pedestrian to get to the other side of the harbour. However why would you want to do that when you could climb the bridge!!!!!!! I am not frightened of heights (I mean I have done a parachute jump for gods sake) but even to me this looked quite daunting. Its 136 metres above sea level and is one of the largest bridges in the world. There is a company called Bridge Climb that have based themselves there and basically they give you training and then you climb the bridge. The Bridgeclimb is a totally professional affair and it costs $155 dollars (about 70 pound at the current exchange rate) to do it monday to friday or $175 dollars...

Light Blue

Advantages: long lasting, light frangrance
Disadvantages: can't live without it

...This perfume is a must have item in my opinion for any female. I got my last bottle for around £15 from semichem - bargain! It's quite big too, I've had mine for about 5 months and I wear it most days, theres still over a third left in the bottle. Its light and refreshing eau de toilette. It was launched in 2001. It is a light floral fragrance with a blend of flowers and fruit: apple, bluebells, jasmine, bamboo and white rose. There are so many layers with this frangrance and it has subtle hints of cedarwood, amber and musk. Because it is such a fresh and light scent - it works best in the summer. I long for the sunshine so that I can cover myself in this delightful perfume. When I wear it I always get comments like "what is that gorgeous smell you are wearing?" Its suitable of every occassion, day to day wear and evenings. I prefer...

Review of Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue

LIGHTLY SCENTED, LIGHTLY BLUE

Advantages: beautiful smell, wearable anytime
Disadvantages: none

...I first got into this perfume about 4 years ago, and it has stayed a favourite of mine ever since. I was looking for a new smell, and being a perfume label-addict I went to Boots to find out any recommendations. The woman at the counter pointed me in the direction of this. I liked the smell as soon as it was sprayed. It is a sort of clean, fresh, slightly light musky smell, but I think smelly a bit fresh air and cottony as well! The assistant suggested letting the smell settle on my skin and seeing how it smelt after it had faded a bit. Even a few hours later the smell still lingered and many people have commented on the nice smell hours after spraying. You can buy this in 25ml, 50ml and 100ml. It's obviously cheaper the bigger you buy. A rought guide for prices are £15 for 25ml, £23 for 50ml and £30-£33 for 100ml. This always...
