Ferry Travel and the Credit Crunch

It would seem that the dream of going abroad for this year’s summer holiday is still afloat.
Recent research has shown one in three Britons would holiday on home soil to save money during the credit crisis, but the ferry industry say those wanting to getaway from the UK need not worry about paying too much.
William Gibbons, Director of the Passenger Shipping Association says “Ferries are such marvelous value that you can actually get a ferry crossing for as low as £58 return on the Dover –Calais route with your car”
But is the credit crunch hitting the ferry industry in other ways? To find out more from William Gibbons watch this video.

Budding gourmets and Spanish enthusiasts indulged their taste-buds as the week long ‘Taste of Spain’ festival concentrated on matters food and drink. This tantalising selection of Spain’s most famous foods and wines included demonstrations by chefs from London’s leading Spanish restaurants and the Spanish regions. There were even cocktails being made out of Harveys Sherry. It’s part of a push to encourage British people to sample the Spanish experience, and hopefully encourage even more of us to take a trip to Spain on holiday. To see just what was served up, take a look at this video. less

Sidney and I decided that these exotic lands offered far too many other wonders for us to spend our limited amount of time there huffing and puffing at high altitudes. A sub-title for this program might have been "Adventures in the Himalayas without trekking". less
