Dakota’s Iberian Travelogue

Hi my name is Dakota Smith & I work for Travelers Digest. Recently me & my girlfriend (Jasmine) took a trip across the Iberian Peninsula stretching from Barcelona to our finishing point Lisbon. We would only have one week to complete our trip, but after careful research I thought I had figured out how.

I had been living in England with my girlfriend at the time so we decided to fly on EasyJet from London to Barcelona, I mean after all we just had to see the city where the opening shot of Justin Timberlake’s video for Sexyback took place.

Destination of the month - August 2008

Destination of the Month: With the Olympics starting this month Beijing is the obvious choice but I personally try to avoid cities during the Olympics. Also Beijing in the summer isn’t exactly pleasant. So I’ve decided to go another way & choose St Petersburg, Russia as the destination of the month. I know what you’re thinking, Russia, seriously? But the truth is St Petersburg is one of the most beautiful cities in the world & with it being so far north there’s no time better than to go than August. Getting there shouldn’t be too hard as you can fly there directly from most major cities in Europe. You can also arrive via train if you happen to be in the Baltic States or Finland. There are even ferry services if you happen to be on the Baltic Sea.

Destination of the month - July 2008

The summer tourist boom is well underway & we’re recommending Mykonos as our destination of the month. The Greek Islands really come to life in the summer months, and there are many great islands such as Ios famous for its nightlife & Santorini famous for its natural beauty. We believe at Travelers Digest however that Mykonos has an excellent combination of nightlife, natural beauty, & culture. There are many ways to get to the Greek Islands, most likely you’ll have to go through Athens and then either take a ferry or fly. There are also chartered flights from other European cities, you can also take a ferry to the Greek Islands from the Turkish coast.

Question: Good morning, I wonder if you can help me? My boyfriend is currently on a motorcycle holiday across the Alps. Unfortunately he crashed his motorcycle in Interlaken yesterday and needs to find a garage to get it repaired. I have not had much luck with finding garages who can repair his Suzuki - any help you can give to finding an accident repair garage in Interlaken would be very gratefully received. I look forward to hearing from you.

Getting from Sofia to Veliko Turnovo, Bulgaria

Name: Macnaughton Alastair

Question: We arrive in Sofia airport at 11.20am on 28th August. Please could you let me have travel details for bus or train directly onwards (same day) to Veliko Turnovo. We need no other bookings as we are staying with friends. If you cannot help are you able to give me the correct website for timetables. All the websites I have tried claim to advertise transport but instead promote hotels and trips! Many thanks.
