Allahabad
The only reasonable but rather corporate-feeling hotel in Allahabad, the Kanha Shyam with 85 rooms, is somewhat scruffy, but to compensate the staff are very friendly. The marble in the lobby is from Italy and Nepal but away from the communal areas...

Uttar Pradesh

Varanasi
Being greeted with a bead necklace and a lime drink and having lunch magically provided, is a good sign on arriving at a hotel, but having the lifts consistently getting stuck between floors diminished the initial good feelings. Although the 130-...

New Mexico

Albuquerque
My anticipation of the blue skies of New Mexico was particularly keen in the middle of an English winter. Waking to find it snowing on our first morning in Albuquerque was therefore not what I had in mind. The snow was no deterrent to my companion's...

Orkney
I put my car on the ferry from Scrabster to Stromness on a whim. I only had a few days, no plans, and nowhere to stay. On the boat I picked up a leaflet advertising the Merkister Hotel. I rang them; they had a single room for that night, and I took...

Harare
The telephone rang. “Sarah, it's 96.” “96 what?” “96 hours till we go, of course.” I had been planning to take my eleven year old nephew, Alexander, on safari for months, but had only told him about the trip to Zimbabwe five weeks prior to our...

Lourdes
Lourdes, a small town in the Pyrenees in south-west France, where the Virgin Mary appeared to the poor peasant girl St. Bernadette eighteen times in 1858, now attracts five million pilgrims every year from all over the world. I was first taken to...

Montana

Livingston
"That will be a $5 fine," said the highway patrol police officer apologetically, after stopping me for speeding, the needle of my speedometer having shot past eighty and off the end of the dial. This was Montana, 'Big Sky Country', where the car...

Damascus
Damascus has a valid claim to be the world's oldest inhabited city. Today it combines the unchanging feeling of the Middle East with its suqs, mosques and narrow streets with increasingly modern surroundings. For an international-type hotel stay at...

Damascus
Damascus has a valid claim to be the world's oldest inhabited city. Today it combines the unchanging feeling of the Middle East - with its suqs, mosques and narrow streets - with increasingly modern surroundings. For an international-type hotel,...

Warsaw
I wouldn’t have put bird watching in Poland at the top of my list of yet-to-be-tried holidays, but somehow or other I found myself inexorably drawn into going. And I loved it. We flew to Warsaw where we were met by Les Goddin, an Englishman who runs...
