Did you know it's World Bicycle Day?

Travelling and the bicycle have been in a serious committed relationship for centuries, and it’s not hard to understand why. Just about every environment, from desert to mountain to rolling prairie, is accessible with a trusty bike, and the world is always eager to offer options aplenty for leisurely pedallers and hardcore asphalt-eaters alike.

Cycling through your destination brings you closer to the land and its people than just about any other style of travel. The mobility of a bike gives you the chance to see well-known locales from a new perspective and opens up their more remote corners to deeper exploration. And since you control the pace, you’re free to stop at a friendly café or roadside market whenever you like, or turn that rolling field you just passed into an impromptu picnic spot.

Inspiration required for top destinations to cycle?
1 Amsterdam
2 Vietnam
3 France
4 Italy
5 San Francisco
6 Belize

Interested in combining cycling and holidaying? So many options - give me a call and let's have a chat through your dreams and wishes.

It's time for your all-inclusive inspiration!

This week we're looking at the delights of Palace Resorts - a fantastic destination for families with so much to entertain.

Eat in a restaurant designed by kids 🏰
Let’s face it, your kids don’t always want to settle down for a languid, delicious dinner in a swanky a la carte restaurant. At Moon Palace The Grand in Mexico, though, the little ones are in control. Circus is the first restaurant designed by kids, for kids. You’ll settle down to food they love, be blown away by at-table experiences like burger buns being grilled through flaming rings, and, as the name suggests, circus performers will keep you all entertained while you eat!

All-inclusive inspiration to brighten up your Tuesday morning!

🏝 Sandals Saint Vincent:
Relax in an overwater villa in Saint Vincent 🌊

In a hammock suspended over the glass-clear water, you rock gently and get absorbed into a good book. You are staying in a two-storey overwater villa in Saint Vincent, glancing back occasionally at the shore and a great view of the rainforest-clad hills. This is isolation of the very best kind. Nowhere to go and nowhere to be, only a few steps away from your comfy bed. Overwater villas are usually found in the Maldives and South Pacific, so we are excited about Sandals Resorts' new addition in the Caribbean!

What a phenomenal display we were shown at the weekend - not just for us in the UK but the delights of the Northern Lights were seen throughout Europe as well!

I felt quite spoilt as the 'flare' went from purple to pink to green; some of the most varied skies I have ever seen.

Did you see them too? If so - how far afield were you?

If you missed them - you may like to consider joining our TC Hosted Icelandic Adventure break in November. This is the year to be seeking the incredible Aurora Borealis after all ...
