Wonderful seafood, a waterside region, an uncommon construction, a fantastic vibe … many ingredients can make a seafood cafe or restaurant. Oyster shacks, smokeries, sparkling crab stalls, and conventional fish and chip restaurants may want to all be among your favorites. Michelin stars aren’t an important constituent … but let’s not rule them out both!
Please share your thoughts about whether it’s a far-off cafe above a mystery inlet or a hectic seashore eating place in or near a town. Please ship us your suggestions from all parts of the UK, from Scottish sea lochs to Cornish bays, the Thames estuary to the wilder Wales and Northern Ireland coasts.
Please fill in the form underneath to send us your pointers, with as many elements as you can in around one hundred phrases. We are sorry, but for prison motives, you should be a UK resident to enter this competition.
Photographs are welcome if they are tremendous and you’re glad to share them, but our judges will consider the text. If you ship photographs, please ensure you’re the copyright holder.
The great suggestions will appear on the Guardian Travel website and in print Guardian Travel. The winner, chosen by using Tom Hall of Lonely Planet, will receive a £two hundred resort voucher from the UK.Accommodations.Com.In November 2010, my husband and I traveled around Ethiopia for three weeks by public bus with a private guide. Travel (especially bus travel) is a real adventure and not for the faint-hearted, as there are long travel days (even longer if the bus breaks down) on poorly maintained roads. But it is an excellent way to get up close and personal and experience the life and culture of the locals.
Addis Ababa
We arrived at the airport at 3.30 a.m. Due to our early arrival, we had not booked any accommodation, so we stayed at the airport until about 7 a.m. A taxi agreed to take us into the city for USD 10. We went to the Ras Hotel, where we had to wait until 9 a.m. to see if they had a room.
Travel Tip: We stayed at the Ras Hotel three times due to its central location. The price includes an awful breakfast, but lunch and dinner are good.
Bahir Dar
We stayed at the Ghion Hotel on Lake Tana and did a boat cruise to the islands to see the painted churches. The Blue Nile Falls area is pretty but not worth the long bumpy ride to get there. Sin, the river, and the waterfalls have been nothing like the posters.
Travel Tip: Check if a guide is included with your Lake Tana boat cruise. There were nine of us on our boat. No guide accompanied us on the boat except for our private guide, Samson. On the first island we visited, Samson acted as an interpreter. Otherwise, we would not have understood what we were looking at. On the second island we visited, the church guide spoke English.
Gonder
The abandoned castles are fascinating, and hiring the guides inside the gate is worth hiring.
Travel Tip: We stayed at the Belgez Pension, which was cheap, clean, and quiet, but the rooms were tiny and cramped. They do your washing for a minimal fee – give it to the cleaners in the morning.
