Just back from Paris

We have been busy pre-Christmas updating the Paris Report and tried two newish hotels, both part of Oriental chains, which hadn't been properly reviewed before.

Just back from Sri Lanka

There are several different itineraries for first time visitors to Sri Lanka. We chose, and highly recommend, the 8-night tea plantations, beach and the Galle itinerary which served as a wonderful entree into the charms of Sri Lanka.

Driving to the South of France (with dog)

Many of us, particularly those with dogs, drive to the South of France each year. And every year we ponder where to stay en route as it’s an 11-12 hour drive from Calais to Nice/Cannes (2 hours less to Provence).

Reports / Africa / South Africa / South Africa Winelands

The South Africa Winelands Report

Less than an hour’s drive from Cape Town, South Africa’s winelands are home to some of the most famous vineyards in the world. The beautiful mountainous landscape hides lush valleys dotted with small settlements, hundreds of vineyards and wonderful restaurants. Franschhoek and Stellenbosch are the most popular of all the Winelands towns/valleys: Stellenbosch has the greatest number of estates and is felt by many to produce the best wines, while Franschhoek is the undisputed gourmet capital of the region.

Reports / North America / Grenada / Grenada

The Grenada Report

Grenada, the Spice Island of the Caribbean, has had a chequered history since Christopher Columbus discovered her verdant shores in 1498. When Hurricane Ivan struck in 2004, it devastated 90% of the island's nutmeg and cocoa plantations, and destroyed homes. But influenced, perhaps, by its dual legacy of French savoir faire and British grit, Grenada has sprung back remarkably fast. Tourism and upmarket developments are on the rise, while the island’s friendly, laid-back atmosphere makes this one of the safest destinations in the Caribbean.

Crossing the Gobi Desert / Patrick Hutton

The idea was simple. We travel to the Outer Mongolian city of Altai, buy three Bactrian camels and cross the Gobi Desert to Dalanzadgad. How difficult could that be? In late August we found out.   For more Globalista desert destinations see Dreamy Desert Hotels, Just back from the Amangiri, the Atacama Desert report, the Palm Springs report, the Santa Fe report - or simply type "desert" in the search box on the Globalista homepage

Features / Europe / United Kingdom / Devon

New report added / Devon

Devon is a magical corner of England. Lush pasture, crisscrossed by narrow lanes whose banks explode with wild flowers, gives way to rugged and desolate moorland studded with granite tors and pre-historic remains. Deep wooded...
