Don and Elaine's Excellent Adventure

This year saw one of our most unusual, enjoyable and complex projects yet.

Don and Elaine from the USA wanted the British 'holiday of a lifetime'; a combination of walking, narrow boating and sightseeing/people-watching with luxury self-catering accommodation and private transportation.

So we did it, all things are possible......ten days in an apartment adjacent to the Royal Crescent in Bath was followed by a week in a picturesque cottage on Exmoor.

A scenic drive from Exmoor and Don and Elaine found themselves overlooking Mount's Bay in West Cornwall. After a week by the sea, a transfer up to the Cotswolds and a night at the famous 'Pudding Club', Don and Elaine had a fortnight of narrowboating on the midland canal system.

Back on dry land and the adventure continued in a cottage in Chipping Campden, the 'jewel of the Cotswolds'. Chipping Campden was followed by time exploring Oxford. From Oxford to an apartment in Chelsea and a stay in London which took in the Chelsea Flower Show.

From London it was back on the water for a week boating on the Llangollen canal, then time exploring historic Chester. After Chester, Don and Elaine enjoyed a week each in the mountain paradises of Snowdonia and the Lake District.

One last indulgence, a few days in Liverpool at the Hard Day's Night hotel. For a couple of Beatles fans, a fitting end to a great trip. Then, after 14 weeks, they flew home tired but happy, to pick up the reins of their own tourism business.
