Advantages: Good night out, supporting new talent
Disadvantages: Only 25 dates with the same venues being repeated

also and will probably win a prize for the song with the most cover versions ever, at this rate. I think they performed that one better though, and it suits their kind of act totally (or it could be I am being influenced by the other three Irish cover versions.). There was a good pace to the first part of the show, which covered six of the nine acts, and also had some fun. They even showed the worst acts of 2006, and four of them came on and did a song from the auditions?these were the couple, the guy's name I don't know but the girl was called Della...they refused to believe they weren't good enough and he argued with the judges, saying "sing 'em a song Della!" There was also the guy which screamed "Do You want to be my GIRLLLLLLLLLL" and the strange looking guy who did a very weird dancing routine, who was like a rubber man as he ...

Review of Everything that starts with X ...

The discreet charm of the Casa San Blas

Advantages: A five-star stay?
Disadvantages: ?with just three-star facilities

simplicity often trumps ritzy ostentation. Attentive service matters, but nothing is nastier than the kind of smarmy obsequiousness that always seems to mask a sneer. And so on. Maybe it's simply down to that indefinable essence known as character or personality. These inconsequential musings are prompted by my trying to pinpoint what it was about the Casa San Blas at Cusco that I liked so much. The hotel is certainly not without its limitations and even its failings, but it's a nevertheless a charming and delightful place to stay. Let's try to summarise what it has to offer. * Location * The Casa San Blas is situated just a few minutes' walk from Cusco's Plaza de Armas (central square), and is therefore convenient for all the main sights of the ancient Inca capital, such as the Qorikancha (Sun Temple), the Cathedral ...

Review of Casa San Blas, Cusco

The Casa Batllo - Possibly Gaudi's finest work

Advantages: One of the best examples of Catalan Modernism
Disadvantages: Very expensive

My husband has a job, which more often than not requires him to work on Christmas day and through most of the Christmas period. Whilst this is the perfect reason to turn down all invitations to spend Christmas with family, it's not the greatest way to celebrate the big day with a 14 hour shift. So last Christmas I decided that we'd have our very own Christmas but just a few days before the rest of the world. And so I booked a long weekend in Barcelona. Our hotel - The Gallery (review already posted many moons ago) was just off the Passeig de Gracia, one of Barcelona's key boulevards where you can find my favourite of the buildings designed by Antonio Gaudi - the almost impossible to pronounce, Casa Batllo. Earlier in the year I had attended a big industry conference in Barcelona and we'd had the conference 'gala' dinner in the Casa ...
