Jo and Jamie trip to Madeira
Our latest tale from the boot room is a story of adventure and discovery. Jo and Jamie tell of their time spent in Madeira and the adventures they undertook to uncover the secrets of this island. “We arrived at Funchal airport at around 9am after a very early start to be greeted with bright blue skies. It was only a short taxi to the hotel but the views in every direction were incredible which made us realise we were going to have a great time. We also realised that apart from the motorway Madeira is not very flat!

Top 10 things to do in Grenada
Grand Anse Beach
The iconic Grand Anse Beach is Grenada’s show-stopper, wowing beach lovers with a two-mile stretch of pristine sherbet-white sand that gently shelves into the glistening waters of the Caribbean Sea. Spend blissful sunny days beneath shady coconut palms and sea-grape trees, and snorkel around nearby Boss Reef to marvel at rainbow-hued fish and coral. Many of the island’s most salubrious resorts are located within walking distance of these fabled sands, that stretch almost to the island’s capital, St. George's. There are plenty of small bars dotted along the white sands, most of which are open from dawn to dusk.
