Diwane Hotel: Good location and value

Diwane Pool
Posted on:
Wednesday, 26th August 2009
Rating

The Diwane Hotel is very well situated in the trendy Gueliz area. The hotel has good facilities including a swimming pool (with kids area) and a ful service spa. The hotel and rooms are clean, but there is a bit of pot luck as to the view from the room - the pool and gardens are nice, but the view o...

I travelled with these guys back in May 2007, taking a tour in the Northern Territory. The tour was great, covering off many places including Darwin and Litchfield National Park. The guide and vehicle were excellent, which really made the trip relaxed and enjoyable. I am looking to do the East Coast...

Mountain Adventure All Terrain: Quad bike fun

Hold onto your helmet on this one. I spent a great day out with the guys on the bikes, covering miles of farmers tracks through stunning scenery. Some of the drops from the tracks are not for the faint hearted and the hillside ascents get your heart pumping, but it really is a super experience.

Your Message of Welcome

Hi Colin

I have travelled extensively, but fairly narrowly...mostly Africa. I visited the Congo a few times as a youngster when we lived on the Zambian copperbelt (Chingola, Bancroft - now Chililabombwe, Kitwe and Ndola). I remember in those days, people driving around in enormous American cars, Cadillacs, Buicks, etc. More recently, I have had a few trips over the border to some of the typical Congo beerhalls, where guitar bands playing the typical twangy African electronic sound are 'de riguer' (they also play a lot in Zambia). Great fun, the last one I attended, with an African employee of Schweppes, I drank all night but was not allowed to buy a round! Such hospitality!
Before too much longer, I need to have a look at South America, India, the Far east, and Aussi/NZ...where does one stop? Africa, however, will always be where my heart lies.

All the best

Cliff

Learning!

Thursday, 20th March 2008

Posting the comment below again on 'your' page - not too sure yet who see what here but when I replied the last day on my own page I still hadn't perused who you were! Luckily I had no derogoratory comment to make about those I met at the H&L fair! Oh, and I am using the mousemat which invites the odd enquiry. Will post a story or two soon...

Ta very much for compliment! Just signed on lately - met these guys, or picked up their mouse-mat, at the annual Holiday & Leisure fair in Dublin at end of Jan. That gives you an indication of how much time I spend on the net! But your encouragement might squeeze some ink on paper. Not used to doing that but apparently I chat a batter! But the spoken word oft does not tumble upon the page in orderly lines....
