If you ever wonder where to go in October …. Rhodes was beautiful this year …. we visited adult only properties that had amazing food and family properties with beach access or a waterpark … & a relaxing award winning spa - please get in touch for more details!

Lots to see on the trip - this was the Lindos Imperial - the group’s family hotel with a water park. It’s right on the beach and has several room types with private pools - one to think about for October half term next year?

Hello Lindos Grand! Looking forward to getting to know you too!

This has been coming for a while … so for your first time into Europe after it takes effect, be prepared for some queues & delays 😔

Starting in the first half of 2025, passengers travelling from a number of countries, including the UK, will need an ETIAS travel authorisation to enter 30 EU countries.

Rest assured, your personal Travel Counsellor will be with you every step of the way, ensuring whatever changes may happen, all the details are taken care of.

Our Travel Counsellors really do care more than anyone else when it comes to booking your perfect holiday, so all you need to do is look forward to your next adventure!

In my industry knowledge is king… so much internet information is out of date so I love meeting people who live and work in the resorts that I send my clients to. Thanks to Debbie at & Victoria at for organising our Turks & Caicos event - and in such a lovely Cotswolds hotel too!

Monsieur Rose - Mr Pink was also in Montreal for the Summer… Philippe Katerine has placed 15 fun sculptures around the downtown and Quartier des Spectacles areas … we didn’t find all of them but they were very popular …

We stopped in Montréal on our way back across Canada … pretty much everyone we encountered was bilingual in French & English so we had no language problems… it was also the ‘poutine festival’…. Cirque de Soleil were in town with their KURIOS show and the MURAL festival had finished a few weeks before we arrived adding around 80 new artworks to the city ….

I was devastated to hear that the Maligne Lodge Hotel next door to the hotel we stayed in just 10 days ago in Jasper has been engulfed in flames by the wildfires that have been sparked by the recent heatwave and lightning strikes ….. luckily all the residents and visitors were evacuated on Tuesday and there is a massive effort involving 1,900 Alberta firefighters working to save the local infrastructure and to try to create firebreaks…. Jasper National Park is over 4,200 square miles of natural beauty and I hope that the local wildlife managed to flee the area before the fires took hold ….. but this is a heartbreaking situation for everyone in the region and I hope it is contained soon 🙏

There will be implications for the Rocky Mountaineer schedule and many who have summer plans in the area this year … 😢

It has the world’s largest indoor wave pool, and 17 waterslides in the waterpark, there are 27 rides in their Galaxyland indoor theme park, an ice rink, a high ropes course, crazy golf, a karting track, ten pin bowling, and IMAX cinema, a shooting range, a casino, a theatre and over 800 shops and restaurants with the largest car park in the world….. West Edmonton Mall! Oh - and a galleon 😂

Leaving Jasper for Edmonton we stopped at the Beaver Boardwalk in Hinton ….. we did see one baby kit but the best times for viewing are really dawn and dusk …. we saw several lodges and a couple of small dams - it was good to stretch our legs and it was very peaceful wandering with quite a lot of birds too…. and none of the other animals we were warned to keep watch for!

From one lake to another - this time we went to Pyramid Lake for a hike… went slightly wrong on the marked paths but there are several trails and they eventually converge - plus there were trail numbers every so often - shame we missed one of them 😂 …. and had another wildlife encounter along the way!

We finally arrived in Jasper and next day set out for Lake Maligne - the Rockies’ largest natural lake which is famed for its stunning colour and being the home of Spirit Island - but we’ll remember it for something else!

Rated as one of the top drives in the world by Condé Nast Traveller, the Icefield Parkway is a 232 km stretch of highway winding through the Rocky Mountains. Pretty much half way between Banff & Jasper you come across the visitor centre and get your first views of the Athabasca Glacier. This is a bucket list visit and is just a small part of the Columbia Icefields. There are only 23 amazing Ice Explorer vehicles in the world and 21 of them are working here. After walking briefly on the ancient ice, we were taken to the Skywalk which gives wonderful views over the Sunwapta Valley….

Before we left Banff we did an evening wildlife Safari … sadly we didn’t see much apart from some Bighorn sheep and some deer, but the guide was very informative and chatted almost constantly for 90 minutes about the local wildlife, wildfires and the stories of the First Nations … so we knew what it was when we saw a Moose Crossing (of which Banff has 7) on our drive out towards Jasper…. It was a very scenic drive!

Last time we were in Banff we took the gondola up to the top of Sulphur Mountain … so this time we took the free shuttle up to the Mt Norquay chairlift …

We may not be in Calgary any more but cowboys & cowgirls can still be found on ranches in Alberta. There are also dude ranches where you can stay and join in for a few days. We would have booked a trail ride but we were too late and settled for the BBQ by waggon ride instead … a fun way to end our day - and one of the other wagons saw a bear along the way 🐻 - bonus!

Whitewater rafting was great fun! You can do two levels of river from Banff with Chinook - ‘mild or wild!’ … we met at a serene camp where they they provided all the kit and then did a fun safety briefing before we headed down to the launch beach… and as you don’t have time to take photos whilst following the guide’s instructions, they provided us with action photos afterwards 👍 ….
