		<title>River Cruising for people who use wheelchairs - Europe</title>
		<description><![CDATA[



One of our readers suggested that we consider providing information about river cruising for the disabled.  She was particularly interested in a cruise holiday in France and has not been able to find ships that accommodate people who use wheelchairs.  Even the more recently built ships do not have any elevators or stair lifts.

		<title>Mövenpick Hotel Zürich Airport - Hotel review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Our tour around Switzerland starts early in the morning from the Mövenpick Hotel Zürich Airport.  It made sense therefore for us to stay at this hotel when we arrive the evening before.  &#8220;Oh No, not the Mövenpick!&#8221; criesTony.  Having stayed at other Mövenpicks in Europe, they tend to be very lacking in character and one [...]]]></description>

		<title>Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Yalta</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Walking around Yalta town, one of the sights that you will not miss is the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral.  Even during the bright daylight, its onion domes light the skyline like giant high-powered golden light bulbs and make for great photo opportunities.
