Cottage Holiday in Arundel Jul 31

If you have never visited Arundel in West Sussex before, I can certainly recommend it for a relaxing break. The town itself is steeped in history and surrounded by some of the most beautiful countryside England has to offer.

Holidays in Arundel - Arundel CastleAlthough Arundel is a fairly quite town, there is alway plenty to see and do. Arundel Castle is a place you can easily lose yourself in for a whole day on its own – even when they aren’t hosting any of the top-level cricket matches or open-air plays. Talking of which, if you ever get a chance to see The Tempest or A Midsummer Nights Dream here – this is the way Shakespeare should be enjoyed. An unforgettable experience.

Just a stones throw away from the Castle is Swanbourne Lake. A great place to spend the afternoon boating followed by a leisurely picnic. If you would like to see more of the Sussex wildlife, the Arundel Wetland Centre is just around the corner and is home to hundreds of exotic wildfowl from around the world.

Accommodation in ArundelSt. Mary’s Gate is host to Arundel’s magnificent cathedral, not to mention a very nice bar and restaurant. If your timing is right you might pick up a few good tips from the jockeys that frequent the bar, which is just around the corner from Mr. Dunlop’s Gallops.

Then of course there is the Amberley Chalk Museum (as featured in the James Bond movie, ‘A View to a Kill’). The River Arun flows through the town and is an excellent way to view the area from a boat trip or a gentle stroll along the bank. And don’t forget the Sussex Downs, slowly rolling along the horizon and providing a wonderful backdrop as well as many splendid walks.

Arundel Cottages - 22 Bond StreetWith so much to see and do in the area, why not spend a little time in the town itself. There are several hotels to choose from, but staying in a local Arundel Town Cottage is an ideal way of really soaking up the atmosphere. Being self-catering means that you can enjoy your own schedule, when and where you want, and there is no shrtage of high quality restaurants and bistro’s in the area if you prefer to eat out.

A video of me and my family on our 2007 trip to Disney World. This is Expedition Everest in Animal Kingdom 300000 views thanks everyone! Oh yea, Ive been getting alot of comments concerning the rules of the park. I asked permission before going on the ride, the ride attendent said it was alright but I was responsible if anything happened, I have me asking her on video but I trimmed that part out. As for safety I had the camera firmly strapped to my hand and kept my hands inside the ride….

Luggage Situation Jul 30

Many have been left in confusion about what they are and aren’t allowed to take onto a plane as hand luggage.

It has been said by government officials that the current rule of one bag per passenger will remain, at least until the end of summer.

So what are the rules exactly? Well, you are allowed one bag per person, and it doesn’t end there. All liquids and pastes must be kept together within a see through resealable bag. So toothpaste, perfume, contact lens solution etc. must all be kept within this bag. Each liquid container must be smaller than 100ml, so no trying to get a half full 200ml container through.

Other normal restrictions apply on the actual size of the item of luggage itself, but this will vary depending on the airline.

All of these restrictions and regulations can add a stressfull element to your otherwise stress free all-inclusive holiday, and many are choosing to transfer at European airports where the restrictions do not apply. For the UK though, it looks as though the rules are set to stay.
