Give me a break: Florence on 250 pounds sterling
Article Abstract:
It can be expensive to fly directly from the UK to Florence, Italy, and flights are not widely available. A better approach may be to fly to Pisa, Italy, or Milan, Italy, and continue by train. There is a wide range of cheap tourist accommodation in Florence outside the main season. Visitors to the city will probably wish to see the Uffizi gallery, but may wish to focus on churches, which contain a great deal of Renaissance art. It is also worth simply wandering around the city, although parts of it are very commercialized.

Tiffin territory
Article Abstract:
The town of Darjeeling, India, bears many signs of its colonial past. It seems to be cut off from the rest of India, and this is why it has so many similarities with middle-class England. However, frequent views of Kanchenjunga, the third-highest peak in the world, serve as a reminder that the visitor is not in England, as do decorative Buddhist prayer flags. The town's attractions include the Happy Valley Tea Estate and the Himalayan Mountain Institute.
