  1. Went to Machu Pichuu last year, booked through a company called Llama travel which took care of all tours, transfers etc.
    You can tailor it to suit what you're after, think we just had a day in Lima before flying to Cusco, a few days to acclimatise to the altitude then went to the sacred valley before doing the short inca trail to Machu Picchu.
    Would recommend the short inca trail (a days trek, not too demanding) as you arrive early evening at the sun gate,with Machu Picchu below, which is worth the hike alone. The full inca trail takes 4 days, I think you need a guide to do any part of the trail though if you're just interested in going straight to Machu Picchu I believe there are guides at the entrance.
    Only stayed one night at Aguas Calientes (the town at the bottom of Machu Picchu) would've probably stayed another night if we weren't tight for time.
     

  2. Did the black cab tour a few years ago, would recommend it. There was no set route, the driver basically asked us what we were interested in seeing and tailored the tour to suit. We were dropped off at certain places and would meet up with the driver again at a pick up point a couple of streets away before heading to the next place so you're not just peering through a taxi window the whole way.

  3. Can't see anything wrong or untrue in what Levein said. Brown gets away with more than any other player in Scotland.
    The more embarrassing comments came from Brendan Rodgers, suggesting Brown wasn't an aggresive player and that a 16 year old shouldn't have been picked for a game like that, then contradicting himself by saying Cochrane managed fine in the last game.

    Also a bit hypocritical to claim Levein is bringing the game into disrepute and should look at his own teams record, when only last season, the very same Scott Brown branded a fellow pro a cheat for diving when half of his team mates are guilty of the same thing!

    This could even help end the TAMB Cold War 

    Thats what I was aiming at, maybe a bit ambitious.
    At the very least hopefully one of the scrappers will post up a Rocky style training montage set to music during the build up :)

  5. I'll be flying to Vietnam in November with a 3 day stopover in Dubai. Our flight is to Abu Dhabi International with Etihad, with a free transfer on their bus. We arrive quite late at night and depart for Vietnam early in the morning, so was looking at accomodation near where the bus stops in Dubai to save too much hassle when we arrive/leave.
    My problem is, the flight itineray shows the bus going to XNB Dubai Bus Station but Etihad website says it goes to Etihad travel mall which appear to be about 20 miles apart. Its also not clear if there are other stops on the route, some sites suggest you can get on/off at the marina (which would be ideal) but I'm reluctant to book if this isn't the case.
    Anybody used this service recently that can shed any light?
    Cheers in advance :)

  6. Pre-book the boat and pay the extra for a seat at the front.

    Mates got the bus from Bratsilava to Vienna Airport in the morning, but I had all day, so took the afternoon ferry from Bratsilava to the Center of Vienna (something like 1 hour) kicked around Vienna City Center for a while and then got the train to the airport

    Will bear that in mind for the future.

    I'd been looking to fly into Bratislava and home from Vienna, but couldn't find cheap flights home for the dates I had. £70 for the flight to Bratislava was nae bad though. Will keep my eye on it and go some other time.
