In the Summertime when the weather is hot. Elsewhere.

Summer Packing Tips: Don’t ask Baboons for help

Eye On Travel returns after undergoing a spot of refurbishment. As the Summer Season gets under way, we will be covering what’s happening in the Travel World, what’s in the Diary, discussing must visit Destinations and looking for things that amuse us.

And remember, three days does not a Summer make. If you are thinking of a Staycation because the UK was hot for a few days, feel free to get in touch when the weather changes!


Travel News

Qatar Airways: Would you prefer an M&S BLT ?

British Holidaymakers have been warned against making false sickness claims from All Inclusive resorts which could result in going to prison. Which ironically is also all inclusive.

Ryanair have denied deliberately auto allocating random middle seats to customers who don’t choose to pay for one in advance. Solution: choose a free seat with another airline.

Events Diary

Finnished: Too much Midnight Sun & Vodka

The Wife Carrying World Championships take place in Sonkajärvi, Finland 30 June- 1 July17. Whoever crosses the Finnish Line (get it) wins a trip to the 21st Century.

The World Bodypainting Festival takes place in Klagenfurt, Austria 28-30 July17. There will be mixed emulsions.

For fans of tourists getting gored, the Running of the Bulls takes place from 7-14 July in Pamplona, Spain. Expect crowds, alcohol & idiocy to feature.

Featured Destination: South Africa

Cape Town: Scenery, Steaks. And the odd Shark.

As the value of the British Pound seems to shrink by the week, there are still some destinations that are great value for money, i.e. their economy is performing worse than ours! 

South Africa fits into this category and offers excellent value with an exhaustive list of things to see & do. With a small time difference, it makes a great winter sun destination. Plus the wine & steak is excellent.

TRIP IDEA: Fly into captivating Cape Town for a few days. Then drive along the Garden route stopping off at the Gondwana Private Game Reserve and Plettenberg Bay. Drop the car in Port Elizabeth and with fly home via Johannesburg or via a few days in Mauritius. Itinerary time from 10 days (South Africa only) to two weeks (including Mauritius).

Sign of the Week: from India
