Help! I'm stranded on Planet Cruise
Article Abstract:
Many British people are now going on cruise holidays, which have started to become relatively inexpensive. Cunard offers a complete round-the-world trip on the QE2, which has recently been the subject of a controversial refit, for 117,000, but passengers may join the ship for shorter distances. The ship is a full maritime community, and passengers have the advantage of being able to stop off in many places without having the long queues and immigration formalities which are normally associated with airports.

A cracker behind concrete
Article Abstract:
It is now possible to travel to Slovakia from the UK in less than four hours. Bratislava, the capital, bears witness to the country's mixed history, and has both extremely attractive and extremely ugly buildings. From this city, it is possible to travel through Slovakia's rolling lowlands, where there are castles, mountains and spa resorts. When in Slovakia's countryside, the visitor has the impression of stepping back in time.
