Orange and peach clouds streak across the sky as the sun creeps towards the horizon. A few birds cut across the seemingly endless sunset and its reflection in the sea below. Excuse me while I extol the romanticism but it really is that blissful.
‘There’s one,’ our guide breaks the silence, ‘At one o’clock.’
I look to my right and there it is – an enormous flat-back turtle coming up to nest.

Where do Brits who like good food go on holiday?
Perhaps San Sebastian for its extraordinary gourmet restaurants and pintxo bars; or maybe Singapore, where two hawker stalls were recently awarded the prestigious Michelin star; or even Japan’s culinary heart and capital, Tokyo, where a single tuna once sold for more than £1million at auction.
But while some obsessives think nothing of travelling to the other side of the world to feed their palates, there’s an unsung hero closer to home – Cornwall.

For someone who does more than her share of wine tasting and has never been ‘into’ religion, Sharjah, perhaps the most conservative of the emirates and the only dry state in the UAE, is probably a strange choice of destination to visit.
Before I land, I knew virtually nothing about the place but in no time at all, I discover that it’s rich in culture and perfect for families.

It’s an unlikely travel challenge: squeezing in all the highlights of Toronto in just three days – especially when it takes seven hours in the air just to get there from the UK.
But as I’m time-short and visiting Canada for the first time, I didn’t want to miss a thing.
Making the most of my long weekend means rising early and taking advantage of the markets for breakfast and packing as many highlights in before ending the day at attractions that run late into the night – which is all helped by getting orientated with the city first.
