This Cruise terminal in Le Havre is not one of them. We met our tour guide for the day outside the Terminal with no issues. When we arrived back at the terminal later that day, we browsed the gift shop inside. Found a couple of souvenirs at fair prices which was cool. What was even cooler was that there was a local artist set up beside the gift shop inside the terminal. We bought one of his artwork, and it will be a treasured keepsake of the awesome day we had. Before we boarded the ship, we stayed a little longer inside the terminal. There was some seats, and we caught up on our communications. Don't remember if we used their wifi or not.

Nearly two years ago I met a close friend of mine in Lisbon. She in her own words came to say her…read moregoodbyes and prophesied that I would end up dead within the next two weeks. Some friend right? I was using Lisbon as my launching point to Iran. I had grown very curious of the country and made arrangements to get my visa in the UK and booked my vacation into one the "Axis of Evil". I was due back in Paris in two week and promised her that I would in fact return alive and meet her back at her apartment. On the morning of my departure I asked her which metro stop was nearest to her place. "Monkey up my a**" (rhymes with Bass) Excuse me? The Montparnasse - Bienvenue Metro stop is neither glitzy or sleek. It doesn't drop you at the steps of the Arc de Triomphe or Notre Dame. You do not walk outside and are greeted by sweeping views from a top Sacre-Coeur. Nor are you dropped off on a quiet Parisian street full of quaint cafes or cheese shops. Montparnasse - Bienvenue is not sexy, but it's right in the smack of real Paris. This is a working class neighborhood where real people live and work. The streets are noisy, busy and full of bustle. But there is something special about the neighborhood. The people here are genuine. They love visitors, as they usually only get a few glimpses of tourists walking hurriedly past making their towards the Latin Quarter. Next time you find yourself in the City of Lights, take a moment and head here. Walk into a local eatery and order a cheap bottle of Burgundy. If you do, I promise you two things. 1. The wine will be the best cheap bottle you have ever tasted. 2. You will love and appreciate Paris for the rest of your life.

Having booked the taxi it arrived within 3 minutes. The cab driver JAY (28) was so kind and helpful to the point he almost carried me into the emergency department. Without his assistance I'm really not sure I could have walked the short distance into the hospital, Jay certainly went above and beyond his duties as a cab driver. A HUGE thank you to both taxi drivers your extra help was very much appreciated. I'm now back home, my lower leg in a cast for the next 6/8 weeks but relieved I made the journey there and back home safely .. Many thanks.

This taxi company is one of two main ones in the town, the other being sussex cars. I always use…read moresussex cars unless there is for some reason an exceptionally long wait for a car as i find them quite a bit cheaper than this company. For some reason any time i have ever had to use Eastbourne and Country Taxis i've had to pay well over the odds (it seems to me), sometimes as much as £1 or £2 more than for the same journey with sussex cars. For that reason i have only given them 3 stars. However a plus point is the very quick service - i have never really had to wait longer than 15 minutes for one of Eastbourne and Countrys taxis and even that is longer than usual. So can't fault them on speed and timekeeping. Drivers are always polite though often not as friendly as other cab companies drivers.

Well, this is another railway station, and a pretty annoying one at that because there wasn't an…read moreelevator that enabled us to take our bags down to one of the platforms, namely the platform that we needed to get to (the one taking us to Paris). Actually, this place does stick in my mind because it was when I discovered that the SNCF can actually be quite unreliable, but so much because of the trains but rather due to the human factor. Basically we had to travel all the way into Paris and then back again. As for the station, the entrance was quite impressive, but it had been done up to celebrate 1000 years since the battle of the Somme. As for some of the options in the plaza, well, I wouldn't bother.

Not to be confused with Farmer Station, which is a bunch of country bumpkins…read more Falmer is a lovely little station in East Sussex that seems in the middle of nowhere, and has what looks like a big house with big chimney sticking out of it, which is pretty gorgeous. It is basically the stadium for the Brighton soccer team (football rather - Brighton And Hove Albion who just got an undeserved point against us thanks to corrupt CIty-sponsored refs using VAR to rig things), which is weird because it's such a little station and yet it serves the massive stadium that is literally overshadowing it, if you look from a certain angle. The stadium is enormous and dwarfs the station, which on a match day will get masses of traffic, and the rest of the time it's just pretty dead. So you want to be a farmer? Here's a couple of acres (kicks you in the testicles).

Falmer Station is a traditional English railway station one would find out of town, or perhaps in a…read moresmall town or village, this, of course, serves the Falmer area of Brighton, which also happens to be right next to The Falmer Stadium, known as The Amex for sponsorship reasons which is home to Brighton and Hove Albion FC. On a match-day, fans can travel from here into Brighton centre for free as long as they have a match-ticket, which is an incredible and cool gesture from the club to arrange, and they even include away fans, I was for sure glad of it as a Manchester City supporter. The inclusion of this station in such a key location serving the stadium built in 2011, makes it a really easy stadium to get to and possibly in line with the likes of the Etihad Stadium and Wembley in a way, which both have stations either built in to the stadium or just a stone's throw away. The trains aren't regular serving here on any other day, which is a flaw, but the main flow of people using the station would be on a match-day heading to a game when they run extra trains every 10 minutes in both directions to and from Brighton (direct service) anyway. It is located on the East Coastway line, the main cities served on that line being Eastbourne and of course Brighton. A regular service on a non-match-day, or if you don't catch a special direct train can take anywhere between 15 and 20 minutes. On a match-day the queuing system after the game is handled incredibly well and deserved credit, I didn't have to wait too long and there were so many staff on hand to help and answer any questions if needed, to the point I'd say it was probably better than the Metrolink station serving the Etihad Campus in that regard. No facilities at the station, however, it is step-free, so if you were planning to get a drink before heading back into Brighton from here, you're out of luck. A great station on a match-day, if allowing plenty of time before the match, and coming back not too late after, but pretty much below average at any other time, other than having a perfect location for the football stadium (Again not as good for away fans, who are located at the other end of the ground) 3*
