Anyone out there interested in visiting VERONA? PRAGUE Friday 1st to Monday 4th September The Golden City, The City of a Hundred Spires, The Rome North of the Alps; Prague has inspired any number of flattering and romantic descriptions, it’s mixture of beauty and an atmosphere soaked in history speaks for itself. Three nights at the Ibis hotel situated in the heart of old town Prague only 5 minutes walk to the square. This new hotel will only open in April and we are very fortunate to be able to book rooms in this much sought after new hotel. We will be surrounded by historical sights, theatres, cinemas, galleries, restaurants, pubs and clubs. Prague is very much a walking city and most will be within easy reach of the hotel. I plan to include an excursion to the mountains/countryside for a traditional medieval banquet, a night to remember mostly for the good food and lively entertainment. September is the perfect time to visit, not too hot, not too crowded, still bustling and warm enough to sit and watch the world go by whilst sampling the local cuisine. Flying British Airways out of Heathrow, price £279.00 per person. This is an unbelievable price for such a good hotel, flights and time of year, never a better time to see Prague.
CHINA For the people travelling on the China trip (51 in total) details and a guide will be sent to you very soon. The distance is nothing; it’s the first step that is difficult. Madame due Deffand

Last year we visited Paris, Florence, Austria, Disney Resort Paris and Toronto. I am delighted to say all the trips were a great success and from the feedback I have received everyone seems to have really enjoyed themselves, with some eager to book again. On the agenda (so far) for this year is a Paris weekend, a China adventure, Robbie Williams live, short-break to Prague, an amazing two cities visit to Russia and a family bonfire trip to Disney Paris via Eurostar in November. One question I am always asked: do we have to belong to the NHS to join in, the answer is no, everyone is welcome, family, friends the more the merrier.
MOSCOW and ST PETERSBURG Friday 6th to Thursday 12th October New freedom means Russia is now open as never before to foreign tourism. The visitor to Moscow and St Petersburg is offered a wonderful unique opportunity to be an eyewitness at the scene of so many important events. Both cities today have so much to see and enjoy. I have yet to speak to anyone whilst researching this tour that has not found it to be an amazing experience. Flying KLM from Heathrow, staying 2 nights in a 4 star hotel in Moscow followed by overnight train journey to St Petersburg (sleeping berths 4 share), it is possible to get a single or double berth compartment but this will be at an extra cost. Not the Orient Express I admit but an adventure to be sure! 3 nights in St Petersburg staying in another 4 star hotel which will be a real treat, as we have just been up-graded with both the hotels I am still awaiting further details. I have put together an 8 page guide so if you are interested in more information I will be happy to send you a copy. Price per person £639.00 with a deposit of £75.00 to be paid asap. To add to the interest we hope to have a journalist join our group. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any queries. There is nothing above Moscow except the Kremlin, And nothing above the Kremlin except heaven. Russian proverb
