Best combo of beaches and history in France?
Pontorson is a quaint lttile town with good B7Bs. From there you can get a bus to Mont St Michel - mind blowing! Also there is a bus to Arromanches and Omaha Beach, where one of the D day landings occurred. There is a good museum there and a huge, unspoiled beach which still has the concrete artificial floting harbours. I think they were called blackberries (?) about 10 years ago

what is the best / cheapest way to get from sydney airport to the CBD? and rough prices for public transport tickets?
I agree with Sophie. From the airport, it is really easy to get on a train to Central from within the airport complex itself. Central station is right in the heart of the city, as the name suggests. about 10 years ago

Good value restaurants in Hobart CBD
My new favourite is Infusion in South Hobart. It is run by the wonderful Van from Vanidol's and his idea is to make it people's local. It is a restaurant, wine bar and cafe. The food is always great. about 10 years ago

is big bus tour ok
If you mean the big bus tour around London, yes, it is excellent. It's a great way to get a feel for the city and to identify places you might want to go back to later. I try to do this in any city where they have these tours. Well worthwhile. about 10 years ago

Which parks would you recommend for a summer picnic in London?
I love Kensington Park with the statue of Peter Pan and the Diana Memorial. All London parks are lovely in their own way in summer - just don't sit on a deckchair without paying for it! about 10 years ago

Which Hilton should I choose for modern feel & city location? - Tower Bridge, Hyde Park, Euston, or Metropole?
I don't know about an executive lounge and work-out facility but the view of Tower Bridge is breathtaking from Tower Bridge Hilton, and that's worth a lot in itself! about 10 years ago

best way to get around the city
Yes, walking is the best way but sometimes, you need to get across the city quickly and that's when the Metro is the absolute best. It is a fantasic system and so well organised. Buy a book of 10 tickets (a carnet) for discount prices. about 10 years ago
