Week of November 26, 2008

This week’s pick is the Old Repeater’s Station located near Hadrian’s Wall in England.  This Bed and Breakfast is in an old farm house that promises to be quaint and charming.  The prices are reasonable - starting at £22.50 per person per night for a shared bunk.  Add a full English cooked breakfast for an extra £2.  Given the state of the dollar, this is a very reasonable price.

The main attraction in the area is Hadrian’s Wall which was “designated a World Heritage Site in 1987 and is the most important monument built by the Romans in Britain. It is the best known frontier in the entire Roman Empire and stands as a reminder of one of the world’s greatest civilizations.”

If you are looking for an African adventure, Whole Travel would like to suggest the Saadani Safari Lodge.  The Saadani Safari Lodge is located in the Saadani National Park.  The Saadani National Park is an extraordinary mix of ecosystems that combines beach, bush, and river.

Saadani Safari Lodge is small and intimate, with just nine individual tented cottages set along the beach, cooled by soft ocean breezes and shaded by casherina trees.  Come to Saadani Safari Lodge for a chance to see elephants, hippos, or just to get away from it all.
