Dear Readers<br />

We all know the only way to travel abroad is by one of Jet2.com’s sexy red-and-silver<br />

jets, but the question is, how to get around once you decamp. I’ve just received some<br />

dreamy pictures of the Saint Louis barge hotel in Montauban, France for sipping cool<br />

champers on the canals. This issue, in Venice, I licked a gelato in the face of convention<br />

and passed up a gondola ride to go all Pocahontas on a kayak tour. I got a completely<br />

new perspective, plus it was bordering on cardio (OK, I lied about that, it was well<br />

cruisy). My mum has recently admitted a desire to take up ‘on-line skating’, which my<br />

sis and I think she may have confused with in-line skating. But even funnier is the itinerary<br />

I received for a tour to Meribel which promises a morning Segway ride of the town.<br />

Segway on ice? I can’t wait to see that! Meanwhile, I’m packing my winter boots to<br />

keep walking the path less travelled. Bring on 2010!<br />

Lucille x<br />

PS Skyshop Rocks! Because we all know you’re<br />

worth it, I’m recommending one of the fabulous products<br />

from our shopping pages (p99) each issue. This<br />

time: Thierry Mugler’s Angel perfume. It’s sweet,<br />

vanilla-toned and chocolately... yum!<br />

2010, taking two classes a day in a studio overlooking the sea, plus optional holistic massages and facials. “Expect to sweat,” warns Olton. All<br />

such as “It’s Cool To Be Kind” and<br />

“Be True Be You”, Kiss Katch hopes<br />

to make the playground a more<br />

tolerant and well-dressed place to<br />

hang out this season. You can buy<br />

the designs online or from Ten Little<br />

Monkeys in Cheshire, and 20% of<br />

the profits will go to Bullying UK.<br />

queuing for the Eye, a mere 135 metres tall. In<br />

a perfect time to declare your enduring love,<br />

FIRST, SOME<br />

ALPINE HONEY<br />

Welcome to the fairytale,<br />

ladies. The turreted splendour<br />

of the Kempinski Grand<br />

Hotel des Bains in St Moritz<br />

is enough to make you<br />

unbuckle your ski boots and<br />

pop on some glass slippers.<br />

Nestled in the sporty<br />

Engadine Valley, where the<br />

fi rst ever winter Olympics<br />

were held, it’s the perfect<br />

spot to indulge in some highaltitude<br />

antics.<br />

More recently, skiers<br />

checking into the hotel have<br />

been joined by a different<br />

kind of enthusiast, a guest<br />

who’s here for more than<br />

just the soft powder and<br />

impressive hiking trails.<br />

Welcome to the lazy snow<br />

lover, a person who seeks<br />

a healthier kind of après-ski<br />

at the High Alpine Spa.<br />

Spanning 2,800 square<br />

metres of serene natural<br />

design, the spa has won<br />

numerous international<br />

travel awards.<br />

Besides sustainable<br />

Alpine wood, granite and<br />

stone, an exclusive treatment<br />

menu of tailored<br />

wraps, scrubs, rituals and<br />

baths infused with local<br />

herbs all await – the perfect<br />

antidote after a tricky red<br />

run. High Alpine Spa is built<br />

on the famous Mauritius<br />

springs, a glacial water<br />

source that infl uences the<br />

products and therapies on<br />

offer. For dehydrated winter<br />

skin, a fresh Alpine honey<br />

body wrap may sound<br />

sticky, but it’s actually<br />

a silky, soporific way to<br />

soften skin and indulge<br />

your limbs in something so<br />

aromatic the mountain bees<br />

will be booking in.<br />

If post-slope revival is<br />

your aim, try the popular<br />

Après Sport Revitalise,<br />

a vigorous muscle massage<br />

followed by an arnica milk<br />

and marmot oil wrap. The<br />

result? Muscles that are the<br />

consistency of dough. Now<br />

that’s worth falling over for.<br />

harvested, mineral-rich<br />

algae is incorporated into<br />

a whole series of therapies<br />

designed to detoxify and<br />

Wellbeing Marine Treatment<br />

offers 75 minutes of exfoliation,<br />

target massage and<br />

a seaweed mask, which<br />

delivers minerals, enzymes<br />

more than a few draws, but the<br />

highlights must be the Fountains<br />

Burlington Restaurant (Michelin<br />

they work or short-change you on<br />

bring you herbal tea and, most<br />

45 minutes alone. And exhale.<br />

Tips for avoidance and what to do if they occur<br />

Stuart Calder and Nick London, Specialist<br />

Knee Surgeons with The Yorkshire Knee Clinic,<br />

advise on how to reduce the chances of knee<br />

injury while skiing this year...<br />

Knee injuries are the most common major<br />

injury sustained by skiers. They account<br />

for around a third of all ski injuries, with the<br />

ligaments most commonly affected. The most<br />

serious knee ligament injury is a rupture of the<br />

anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), which results<br />

in problems with twisting and high risk of the<br />

knee wearing out early (osteoarthritis).<br />

Before deciding to cancel your ski trip<br />

in favour of something safer, however,<br />

it’s important to defi ne the risk of injury<br />

– it is extremely low! The chance of a skier<br />

sustaining a serious injury is only three in<br />

every 1,000 ski-days. On average, you would<br />

have to ski for approximately 2,100 days to<br />

sustain an ACL rupture. While a skiing knee<br />

injury is often simple bad luck - with many ACL<br />

injuries occurring on lower slopes where a fall<br />

is not fast enough for skis to come off - there<br />

are some simple things you can do to reduce<br />

the chances of injury:<br />

• Exercise before your trip for six to eight<br />

weeks before departure. For many people,<br />

their one week’s skiing is the most intense<br />

exercise they will do all year so their muscles<br />

are more susceptible to injury. Beware of<br />

fatigue and don’t attempt that last run if you’re<br />

feeling tired. Exercise advice can be provided<br />

by chartered sports physiotherapists in<br />

practice across the UK.<br />

• Ensure all equipment is professionally fi tted<br />

PROMOTION<br />

KNEE INJURIES<br />

and well maintained, especially ski bindings.<br />

• Moderate alcohol intake during the day.<br />

Research has shown that excess alcohol<br />

contributes to a higher percentage of hospital<br />

admissions after lunch.<br />

If you are unlucky enough to sustain a knee<br />

injury, early specialist advice is critical to<br />

make the best possible recovery. Many ski<br />

resorts have experienced doctors to assess<br />

and provide initial treatment, but beware<br />

of being coerced into surgery. Immediate<br />

surgical treatments are rarely necessary<br />

following skiing injuries (with the exception<br />

of fractures) and often a simple brace and<br />

crutches will allow time for refl ection over the<br />

different treatment options available once you<br />

have consulted an expert.<br />

The Yorkshire Knee Clinic can help winter<br />

sports enthusiasts return to fi tness and get<br />

back on the slopes quickly following skiing<br />

injuries. The experienced Consultants,<br />

Stuart Calder (Leeds) and Nick London<br />

(Harrogate), supported by dedicated sports<br />

physiotherapists, can treat all serious injuries,<br />

often without the need for surgery. They<br />

For anyone who loves the<br />

flavoursome and honest<br />

style of Portuguese cuisine,<br />

Madeira is like a welcome<br />

culinary offshoot, featuring<br />

many old favourites along<br />

with some local twists and<br />

excellent produce of its own.<br />

Add in the fact that it boasts<br />

a year-round sub-tropical<br />

climate, plus world-class<br />

varieties of fortified wine,<br />

and it’s easy to understand<br />

why this stunning, mountainous<br />

island enchants those<br />

lucky enough to visit.<br />

There’s no better place to<br />

get a sense for the exotic<br />

produce of this green, lush<br />

backwater than at the<br />

Mercado dos Lavradores in<br />

Funchal. It’s an assault<br />

on the senses as fl owers vie<br />

with locally grown oranges,<br />

mangos, passion fruit, guavas,<br />

fi gs and all manner of<br />

colourful tropical fruits and<br />

vegetables, along with the<br />

fi sh and meats that make up<br />

the Madeiran diet. There’s<br />

no mistaking the almost<br />

primeval-looking espada,<br />

the popular bug-eyed black<br />

scabbard fi sh that lives deep<br />

in the waters off Madeira’s<br />

plunging shores.<br />

It’s this mixture of warm<br />

climate, ample sun, ever-<br />

present sea and vertiginously<br />

terraced land that<br />

produces such a wealth of<br />

culinary delights.<br />

Your fi rst introduction to<br />

local fl avours is likely to be<br />

Madeira’s own bread, bolo<br />

do caco, made from wheat<br />

and sweet potato fl our. It’s<br />

best when cooked quickly on<br />

an open fire and served<br />

warm, often with garlicky<br />

butter. Soups, such as the<br />

oniony sopa de tomate,<br />

served with a just poached<br />

egg fl oating atop, are tasty<br />

fi llers, but save room for the<br />

main event, often fish or<br />

meat cooked simply, again<br />

over open coals.<br />

Despite its ubiquitous<br />

presence, espada is a lightly<br />

flavoured fish, typically<br />

served in plump fi llets, that<br />

makes a surprisingly good<br />

It’s an incredibly dense,<br />

(made with sugar cane<br />

Season Party Tips!<br />

Create the perfect Christmas sparkle for your eyes<br />

using Alima pearluster eyeshadows and liners. Start<br />

by covering your whole lid with platinum and then<br />

blend your colour of choice, my recommendation is<br />

amethyst or atlantis, up to your socket line. Finish<br />

with a slick of eyeliner applied to both top and<br />

bottom lashlines, paparazzi is a great colour choice<br />

for this and lashings of mascara. Perfect sparkle!<br />

The key to fantastic looking ruby red lips is in the<br />

application. Make sure your lips are well<br />

moisturised and smooth and choose the right<br />

colour red. If you have cool tones go for a blue<br />

base such as Logona 04, warm tones an orange<br />

base, Logona 05. Use a lip pencil, Logona 01, to<br />

draw around the natural line of your lips and then<br />

gently fill in the rest of your lips with the pencil, it<br />

helps stain your lips. Then using a lip brush<br />

generously apply the lip colour in several coates to<br />

give it staying power. Then use<br />

your lipstick lightly over<br />

where you've used the<br />

brush, this technique<br />

smooths the texture<br />

and appearance.<br />

Finally blot on a tissue<br />

and Voila! You're ready<br />

to party!<br />

PARIS MATCH<br />

FRENCH JEWELLERS LES NÉRÉIDES SAY ‘PFFF!’ TO CONVENTION, COMBINING<br />

THEIR INTERPRETATIONS OF PARISIAN CHIC WITH KOOKY JUNKSHOP CREATIVITY


FASHION<br />

TEXT LUCILLE HOWE<br />

Ugly Betty recently borrowed a quote from Coco Chanel: “You should<br />

always take off the last thing you put on in order not to over-accessorise.”<br />

As long it’s not your dress/trousers, this is sound advice indeed. Unless, of<br />

course, you’ve just gone shopping at Les Néréides…<br />

Hidden like a layer of buttery fondant in the macaroon of La Marais,<br />

Les Néréides jewellers is as sweet an outfi t as you could hope for in Paris. Rue du<br />

Bourg l’Abbé is home to the international concept store and the label’s founders,<br />

Pascale and Enzo Amaddeo. Pascale is, like most French women, classy with regards<br />

to lying about her age, and brushes off the question with a “Pfff!”. But she will<br />

admit that she began designing jewellery 36 years ago. “It is important that my<br />

pieces express an emotion,” she tells me with passion, before adding, with a glint<br />

in her eye, “and that they make you laugh.” An eccentric redhead with the<br />

potential to be a femme fatale, she wears some of her own autumn/winter<br />

collection pieces around her neck with blatant<br />

disregard for Coco Chanel. As she turns over the<br />

purple glass stones of her necklace she shows me how<br />

each gem is individually set and sealed with the Les<br />

Néréides signature – impressive given that the piece is<br />

the same price as steak et poivres and kir royals for<br />

two. Les Néréides must be a godsend for every man<br />

with a cinq-a-sept femme (a fi ve-to-seven o’clock<br />

mistress) and a modest wage.<br />

Audrey, a Christina Ricci lookalike and Pascale’s<br />

girl on the shop fl oor, tells me that men love coming<br />

into the shop. And when the store boasts so many<br />

gorgeous staff, who can blame them?<br />

What’s great about Les Néréides and its N2 diffusion<br />

line is that there is something for every woman,<br />

whichever one of her variable moods she may be in,<br />

from graphic silver-heart pendants, to smiley-face,<br />

acid-house earrings (I ask Pascale if she ever went<br />

“raving”; she says she still does), to a kitsch, naughty<br />

kitten, swinging on a little champagne bottle at the<br />

end of a chain.<br />

This season, Pascale has joined the circus for<br />

a themed collection, which features a black top hat<br />

perched on a ring with a rabbit jumping out of it.<br />

Look inside the big top charm on the necklace and<br />

you can just make out the tiny silver silhouettes of<br />

the ringmaster and an elephant.<br />

The girls in the offi ce have fun. This is the Les<br />

Néréides style. When I visit the shop, Enzo has just<br />

arrived back from the countryside with a crate full of<br />

green plums that are decamped to bowls around the<br />

store. A group of girls hand-stitch display cushions<br />

from a vintage silk scarf that Pascale has donated from<br />

her own wardrobe. Pascale likes to cook pasta for her<br />

favourite customers in the store’s kitchen, and she holds<br />

legendary birthday parties downstairs for each of her<br />

girls at which, Audrey tells me with respect, “Pascale<br />

is always the last to leave the dancefl oor.” When it came<br />

to choosing someone for next season’s look-book,<br />

Pascale wasn’t interested in models. “She has crushes,”<br />

Audrey giggles naughtily. “She met a girl at Fashion<br />

Week last year who she loved and she wanted to use<br />

her. Last year it was one of our interns.”<br />

I can think of a Chanel quote much better suited to<br />

the Les Néréides lovelies: “A girl should be two things:<br />

classy and fabulous.” And they so are.<br />

There’s something for every<br />

woman, from silver-heart<br />

pendants to smiley-face,<br />

acid-house earrings<br />

A NEW BREED OF SNAPPER IS HUNTING FOR THE PERFECT PICTURE ON THE WORLD’S DANCEFLOORS<br />

Rarely a weekend goes by without fi nding that<br />

someone’s posted a dodgy party pic of you on<br />

Facebook… it was 3am, your make-up was round<br />

your knees and now you’re groping for the “de-tag”<br />

option and hoping that honey you just “friend<br />

approved” hasn’t seen it yet. Is a photograph of you<br />

using two beer bottles as a pointy Madonna bra really<br />

going to be your legacy?<br />

As the sun sets on Ibiza and the doors close on<br />

Space, Pacha and Eden for another summer, the lights<br />

are switching on elsewhere. Tel Aviv’s fi rst superclub,<br />

Haoman 17, which has played host to Pauls Oakenfold<br />

and Van Dyk, will be rocking through the winter.<br />

Meanwhile, Prague institution Roxy will still be<br />

going strong. The former cinema and ballroom<br />

located at the legendary Dlouha 33 calls everyone<br />

from Andy C to the Freestylers and Faithless its<br />

friends. Closer to home, Oceana and Tiger Tiger in<br />

Leeds will be fl ying the fl ag for UK clubbing. Needless<br />

to say, there are plenty of opportunities for a knees-up,<br />

and a new group of photographers are scouring<br />

the world’s clubs for the perfect picture of hedonism<br />

– so be ready for it.<br />

EYE OF THE BEHOLDER<br />

Photographer Billa Baldwin bets that you look good<br />

on the dancefl oor. What began as a clubber taking<br />

his camera everywhere soon turned into a career.<br />

Baldwin’s now amassed more than 28,000 images,<br />

and had his pictures published in Vogue. Despite<br />

having been commissioned for the last three years<br />

by the British Fashion Council to take backstage photos<br />

during London Fashion Week, Baldwin still heads<br />

out to document the UK’s nightlife as often as<br />

he can. “When I fi rst started it was really expensive,<br />

I was using about six or seven fi lms every week,” he<br />

says. “It wasn’t until digital that it really started kicking<br />

off. I just took it everywhere.”<br />

An important thing for Baldwin, despite clubbing<br />

having paved the way to a lucrative career, is to be<br />

there as a fan fi rst and a photographer second. “I’m<br />

out clubbing, I can’t do one without the other, but<br />

when I started, the photographs were a progression<br />

of just being out,” he explains. With each night leading<br />

to thousands of potential photos, what triggers<br />

Baldwin’s eye? “These days it’s harder to get the shots,<br />

if people see me at an event they know I’m going to<br />

be taking some pictures. It has to be people having<br />

a good time, I want it to be natural. I want it to be<br />

people having fun.”<br />

TALENT SPOTTING<br />

Baldwin’s at the top of his game, but there’s a network<br />

of eager young photographers documenting the scene<br />

not just in London, but around the UK and the rest<br />

of Europe. Online communities such as www.party<br />

photographers to take fl attering pictures… usually from above for the girls, because<br />

it takes out all the shadows, and from below for the boys so that they look more<br />

student scene in Leeds is bigger than Manchester, which is better for VIP nights<br />

where there may not be a DJ but there will be lots of posing.”<br />

“The biggest events are by The Warehouse Project, which take place in<br />

a multistorey car park under a bridge. You can expect DJs such as the Swedish<br />

House Mafi a and acts including La Roux. There are people of all ages partying<br />

PINK PANTHER<br />

IT WAS THE CELEBRITY STORY OF THE YEAR – A TWISTED TALE OF LOVE GONE SOUR FOR THE PINK<br />

PRINCESS TURNED JUNGLE CAT. JETAWAY LOOKS BACK IN AMAZEMENT AT KATIE AND PETER’S BIG YEAR<br />

It was a match made in TV heaven. Katie Price,<br />

the artist formerly known as Jordan, was a troubled<br />

glamour model whose fame and fortune had<br />

swelled as dramatically as her cleavage. Peter Andre,<br />

meanwhile, was an Australian one-hit wonder who also<br />

had a large chest.<br />

They fell in love in the most unlikely of places – the<br />

Aussie jungle, while fi lming I’m a Celebrity… Get Me<br />

Out of Here! Around the nation’s water coolers, many<br />

of us commented that we’d rather have a witchetty grub<br />

in our mouth than snog either of them. But their touching<br />

displays of affection gradually won us over. Peter<br />

even invented a new word, “insania” – which turned<br />

out to be a pretty accurate description of the next six<br />

years of his life…<br />

THE HAPPY COUPLE<br />

On 10 September 2005, 17 months after leaving the<br />

jungle, Katie and Peter marry at Highclere Castle,<br />

Berkshire. Highlights of the Cinderella-themed ceremony<br />

include her arrival in a pink horse-drawn carriage, tottering<br />

down the aisle to Whitney Houston’s I Have<br />

Nothing (I Have Nothing On would probably have been<br />

more appropriate), his and hers thrones and, for the fi rst<br />

dance, the happy couple’s very own recording of A Whole<br />

New World from the movie Aladdin.<br />

Understandably, there is some concern over the difference<br />

in their wealth. Katie is worth an estimated<br />

£40m, while Peter’s career is pretty much on the skids.<br />

They sign a pre-nuptial agreement on Peter’s insistence.<br />

“Whatever happens,” he says. “I can’t take half of what<br />

she’s got. I don’t want anything from her apart from her<br />

love.” Aaah, romantic innit?<br />

At fi rst some commentators suggest that the whole<br />

marriage is an elaborate con to further their careers but<br />

the happy couple set about proving that publicity means<br />

nothing to them by having their entire lives documented<br />

on a series of fl y-on-the-wall TV shows. Mainly these<br />

programmes consist of Peter looking exasperated while<br />

Katie behaves like a spoiled toddler.<br />

rosy in the marriage. Mind you, every now and then<br />

there are moments of touching affection. And there’s<br />

no denying that Peter is a doting father to their children<br />

Junior Savva Andreas, now 4, Princess Tiaamii, 2, and<br />

to Katie’s son, Harvey, 7.<br />

Throughout the fi rst half of <strong>2009</strong>, there are reports of<br />

friction within the marriage, but Katie and Peter insist<br />

they are rock solid. Later, reports emerge suggesting that<br />

they have not had sex for two years. Katie starts going<br />

out on the town, much to the delight of the paparazzi.<br />

Alarm bells ring. Teetotal Peter has previously said he is<br />

uncomfortable with Katie’s taste for wild nights out. In<br />

his autobiography, he writes: “I trust her when she’s sober,<br />

but I don’t trust her when she’s drinking.”<br />

The fi nal straw is a night out at Flamingos nightclub<br />

in Bristol during which Katie is photographed in the<br />

company of dressage trainer Andrew Gould. Later, in a<br />

TV interview with Piers Morgan, she claims Peter was<br />

madly jealous of her relationship with Gould, which she<br />

insists is entirely platonic.<br />

IT’S OFFICIAL<br />

Even after this furore, both Katie and Peter vigorously<br />

deny persistent rumours of marital discord. They even<br />

claim to be thinking of trying for another baby. But on<br />

13 May a spokesperson ends the speculation, confi rming<br />

that the couple have split.<br />

The statement reads: “Peter Andre and Katie Price are<br />

separating after four-and-a-half years of marriage. They<br />

have both requested that the media respect their families’<br />

privacy at this diffi cult time.” Which could rank as the<br />

funniest joke of <strong>2009</strong>.<br />

In a bizarre twist, around the same time, ITV2 viewers<br />

get to watch uncomfortable footage of the fi nal throes<br />

of the relationship, including one excruciating row in<br />

which Katie calls Peter “an old f***ing singer no one<br />

knows about” while he retaliates by branding her a “stupid,<br />

arrogant cow”.<br />

WHAT KATIE DID VEXED<br />

Katie and Peter fl ee to different corners of the globe – he<br />

to Cyprus, and she to the Maldives and the luxury<br />

£2,800-a-night villa in the Conrad Rangali resort where<br />

the couple spent their honeymoon.<br />

Katie is said to be “pining” for Peter, telling her army<br />

of Twitter followers that she misses him. “I’m still keeping<br />

a dignifi ed silence,” she writes. “I have made no comments,<br />

they are made up. I’m heartbroken. I never wanted<br />

any of this. We all miss Pete.”<br />

I AM WELL<br />

The Sun reports that she is bombarding her estranged<br />

the bedroom again, but she receives no messages in return.<br />

As we know, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.<br />

The dignifi ed silence doesn’t last long.<br />

IBIZA AND UNCOVERED<br />

On 17 June, Katie jets off to Ibiza while Peter heads to<br />

Cyprus with the kids. At the airport, she loudly announces:<br />

“Yee haa, I’m going to have some fun at last. It’s been a<br />

f***ing nightmare but I’m going to have a wicked time.<br />

I am well up for it.”<br />

This proves to be an understatement. Industrial quantities<br />

of champagne, vodka and Red Bull are consumed<br />

as Katie – staying at Es Vive hotel – visits a string of bars<br />

and clubs. Arriving at the Ibiza Rocks Hotel to watch<br />

The Ting Tings, she launches into a tirade at a female fan<br />

who asks for a photograph. Katie snaps: “No, I’m not<br />

having my picture with you. Another thing, I should let<br />

you know that you’re ugly. Really ugly.”<br />

Later, outside Eden nightclub in San Antonio, a welloiled<br />

Katie amuses herself by putting her sailor’s cap on<br />

the heads of other clubbers. But things turn ugly when<br />

she takes offence to something a female clubber says and<br />

screeches: “I’m going to cut you up. Seriously, I am going<br />

to cut you.”<br />

During the remainder of this 24-hour bender she<br />

snogs two blokes and gyrates her body against a pole<br />

while fl ashing off her boobs and G-string. None of this<br />

goes down well with Peter, who apparently was unaware<br />

of Katie’s holiday plans until he reads about the trip on<br />

the internet.<br />

THE MESSY AFTERMATH<br />

The gloves are off by August, when the couple<br />

lock horns on TV – where else? Both<br />

have recorded fl y-on-the-wall shows documenting<br />

the weeks following the break-up.<br />

What Katie Did Next gets a respectable audience of<br />

1.28m, but it is beaten by Peter’s offering, Going It Alone,<br />

which pulls in 1.72m viewers. Round one to Peter!<br />

On 9 September, Katie celebrates her decree nisi (the<br />

offi cial granting of the divorce) with a glass of pink champagne.<br />

Now things start to get really messy. Peter has<br />

offi cially remained single since the split (though Katie<br />

insists he’s been secretly having sex with a string of<br />

women). She, meanwhile, begins a new relationship with<br />

cage-fi ghter Alex Reid.<br />

It emerges that Alex enjoys dressing up as a woman<br />

and has an alter-ego called Roxanne, whom Katie claims<br />

to have had sex with. Peter goes ballistic when their son<br />

Junior accidentally calls Alex “dad”, threatening the new<br />

boyfriend with violence according to Katie’s entry on<br />

Twitter: “Pete said: ‘I’m gonna break your f***ing legs,<br />

watch your back.’ Nice, Pete, in front of kids.”<br />

She later adds: “Alex is calm, a real gentle guy. Stop<br />

believing what you read and realise Pete is not the sweet<br />

guy that he always portrays. His true colours are starting<br />

to come out, thank God.”<br />

On a truly toe-curling episode of The Graham<br />

Norton Show – in which she goes into graphic detail<br />

about her adventurous sex-life with Alex – she claims<br />

that Peter is refusing to speak to her: “He won’t go<br />

into mediation with me, he won’t meet me and he<br />

won’t speak on the phone without hurling abuse.” On<br />

the same show, she claims that Peter had an affair with<br />

his married manager, Claire Powell. The BBC<br />

is forced to remove these comments from the<br />

show for fear of legal action from Powell, who<br />

calls the allegations “complete lies”.<br />

To the country’s collective amazement, Katie<br />

appears on the shortlist for Bounty’s Celebrity<br />

Mum of the Year award.<br />

2010: LET THE GAMES BEGIN<br />

ITV2 has commissioned What Katie Did Next for a<br />

second eight-week series from 14 January, and with<br />

Katie back in the jungle, it seems the now-single girl<br />

has come full circle. “It’s where my fairytale started and<br />

it’s where it ends,” she said. And as she told Philip<br />

Schofi eld and Holly Willoughby on This Morning: “All<br />

I’d like to say to Pete is, forget the media. We’re human<br />

beings, we were together for six years, we know each<br />

other, let’s just sit in a room, let’s talk about the kids and<br />

let’s just be friends.”<br />

www.tripbod.com, which charges £16 to pair you<br />

with a local who helps plan your trip.<br />

His creds: “I’ve worked for a company called<br />

Ciao Bella Tours as the PA to the president,<br />

doing research about various cities throughout<br />

Italy including Rome, Florence, Milan, Venice,<br />

Verona. Guided tours of cities are also part of my<br />

repertoire. I also teach English to 22 students in<br />

my home in Padua.<br />

“Tripbod is great for introducing fi rst timers to<br />

cities such as Venice… I love their enthusiasm to<br />

see what’s around the next corner. It allows me to<br />

visit the city for the fi rst time again. Likewise, the<br />

clients that have been multiple times are always ready<br />

for a new experience that’s draped in local fl avour<br />

– whether it’s local food, drinks, or festivals.”<br />

Overnight Brad got back to us with his responses,<br />

which made up the itinerary, plus a great map, with<br />

notes, which detailed how to get from our apartment<br />

to each of the suggestions.<br />

1Best place for a prosecco – “That’s easy, head off<br />

to Cantina Vecia Carbonera or Bancogiro, these<br />

two places are fi lled with locals every night, they’re<br />

truly Venetian.”<br />

2Best place for live music – “In my opinion,<br />

that’s the Venice Jazz Club. The in-house<br />

quartet contains some of the best performers from<br />

the area who are often joined by musicians from<br />

around the world.


For the best bird’s eye view, head to the<br />

bell tower in Saint Mark’s Square. For a<br />

more panoramic view, and fewer people,<br />

get the vaporetto across to Palazzo Grassi<br />

3Best pizza and pasta in town – “Ae Oche in<br />

Dorsoduro, it’s a little bit on the family-orientated<br />

side, but for Venice it’s going to be the best pizza<br />

that’s not in the same category as ‘frozen’.”<br />

4Best view in Venice – “There are two, depending<br />

on what you want. For the best bird’s-eye view,<br />

head to the Bell Tower in Saint Mark’s Square. For<br />

a more panoramic view (and fewer people), get the<br />

vaporetto across the Grand Canal to Palazzo Grassi.”<br />

5Most romantic place – “Piazza San Marco just<br />

before midnight. If you hear the bells then you’re<br />

with your soul mate... make sure you slow-dance to<br />

the bands that are winding down.”<br />

We say… itinerise this!<br />

With only 48 hours in the city, we couldn’t get<br />

to all of Brad’s suggestions but we reckon he’s on<br />

the money. After a morning walking the city, we<br />

decided it was prosecco o’clock (to be fair, this is any<br />

time from 10am in Italy) and rolled into the Cantina<br />

Vecia Carbonera, a typical Venetian eatery, where all<br />

the tasty snacks are presented at the counter and you<br />

create your own selection on a plate to accompany<br />

your fi rst fi zzy tipple of the day.<br />

We went for the toastie fi lled with ham (off the<br />

bone) and cheese, and a vegetable tortilla. Everything<br />

ranged from 1.50-2.50 euros, which is reasonable for<br />

this city. This recommendation has added value: a<br />

bench where the locals park their walked-taut butts<br />

to gossip and gulp, and a sweet area out back with big<br />

wooden tables, vases full of orchids and a delicatessen<br />

where you can buy the local wine. Time here<br />

shouldn’t be hurried. The joy of prosecco, aside from<br />

it being more palatable than champagne or cava, is it’s<br />

cheap to buy a round – so keep ’em coming.<br />

The Venice Jazz Club would have been a great tip<br />

if it had included the need to book and show up for<br />

the show at 7pm. Team JetAway assumed that the jazz<br />

would be swinging well into the night and, after a half<br />

hour walk from the Rialto, through congregations<br />

of students, kicking around glass bottles in packed<br />

squares, found the joint abandoned and mute at<br />

11.30pm. Pfff! Our jazz hands went limp.<br />

Time to put the romance back into the trip, we got<br />

lost (expect this… enjoy this... in Venice) and then<br />

found ourselves at Piazza San Marco. Unfortunately<br />

we were too late for a last dance (we had seen the<br />

bandstands earlier and if you can get close enough<br />

to one to drown out the other, it is romantic) but it<br />

was amazing to fi nd the entire place, overrun earlier,<br />

now completely empty. Like having the pyramids to<br />

yourself… and more seductive than Casanova.<br />

Itinerary 2<br />

KNOW-IT-ALL: HOTEL CONCIERGE<br />

MAJKA CASTELANI<br />

We found her: at the luxury B&B San Luca (www.<br />

sanluca-bb.com), sandwiched between the Rialto and<br />

Piazza San Marco, and just an appetiser away from<br />

some of Venice’s best trattorias. With fi ve rooms and<br />

two suites, it has been open less than a year, but used<br />

to house the priest of the local church. The original<br />

contract even notes the presence of a ghost!<br />

Her creds: Majka has been the hotel concierge since<br />

San Luca’s launch and travels into the city from her<br />

hometown of Udine. She studied public relations<br />

before embarking on a world trip. “I have travelled<br />

a lot myself – as far as Sydney where I worked at<br />

Cosmopolitan magazine – so I know how precious<br />

your time is on foreign soil.” She speaks Italian,<br />

English and Spanish and has an interest in literature<br />

and fashion. She welcomes visitors from countries<br />

including America, Spain and Australia. “The<br />

French like to go to art galleries and stroll around the<br />

romantic streets but the Americans prefer to indulge<br />

themselves with the delicious food and shop till they<br />

drop in the numerous stores.” The city is touristfriendly<br />

and all the local businesses make sure the<br />

hotels know what they have to offer…<br />

“Stroll through Piazza San Marco and the Doge’s<br />

1 Palace. You can’t really say you’ve been to Venice<br />

if you haven’t seen this. Come to the Piazza in August<br />

and see all the boat parties moor up at the nighttime<br />

celebration to mark the end of the Black Death,<br />

It’s a real event for locals and if you can get invited<br />

onboard you can jump from boat to boat and party<br />

to party.”<br />

“Take a trip to the island of Burano, to get lost<br />

2 among the colourful houses and visit the Museum<br />

and School of Lace Making (which is currently being<br />

renovated but will open again in spring).”<br />

3<br />

“Loosen your belt for the tasting menu at Centrale<br />

Restaurant Lounge (www.centrale-lounge.com)<br />

for glamorous Venetian cuisine in the heart of the<br />

historical centre of Venice.”<br />

“Take a tour of the art galleries including La<br />

4 Biennale, Palazzo Grassi (François Pinault<br />

Collection) and Palazzo Fortuny.”<br />

5The best way to see the city under your own steam<br />

is from a kayak. Rene at www.venicekayak.com<br />

LUCILLE NEGOTIATE CANAL RAGE ON<br />

THE VENICE WATERWAYS<br />

We say… itinerise this!<br />

The half-day kayak trip, starting at the lido and<br />

crossing the lagoon like a real pioneer, was the best<br />

tip-off of the trip. Rene, the guide, is a universe<br />

of information and a calming infl uence in narrow<br />

canals where he takes control to protect you from<br />

any “canal rage”. We learn that 80% of the lagoon<br />

used to be marsh and now it makes up only 9%,<br />

but a German university is working on a project<br />

called Salve to save it (www.salve.it/uk); that there<br />

are 60,000 Venetian residents and a fl ow of 30,000<br />

tourists each day; and that Rene sees lots of scuttling<br />

crabs about and fi sh that like to be fed bread. Getting<br />

in and out the boat from the slippery, algae-fi ed<br />

sides of the canal is tricky but once you’re in it’s a<br />

gentle but invigorating way to see Venice from the<br />

viewpoint of the local tradesmen, and check out the<br />

foundations of the sinking city. Rene says the kayak<br />

is like the bike of Venice: eco-friendly and without<br />

any noise or air pollution. And he’s right.<br />

From the Fondamenta Nuove stop on the north<br />

of the island we took the vaporetto to Murano for<br />

a couple of euros. Queue up early to get a seat in

the open bit at the back, otherwise it’s a scrum for<br />

plastic seating inside. Less tourists, more locals, this<br />

wasn’t the prettiest route but Murano was a pretty<br />

destination. The island is favoured by artists and lace<br />

makers… and Philippe Starck, the greedy designer<br />

who owns not one, but three, properties here. The<br />

colours of the houses look like gelato and follow a<br />

specifi c system – if you want to paint yours, you have<br />

to put in a request to the government who assign<br />

certain pigments to each one. Make plenty of room<br />

in your digital camera card for photos.<br />

After such an active Sunday we were ready for<br />

dinner so we had high expectations for Centrale<br />

Lounge (above) – which exceeded them. The<br />

contemporary, celeb-populated bar and restaurant<br />

uses cool lighting design to carve out the space and<br />

create intimacy. There is a lounge area kitted out<br />

with Italian leather chairs to drink their prosecco<br />

di Valdobbiadene, made locally, or their boutique<br />

Sancin red wine (only 7,000 bottles per harvest). We<br />

put ourselves in the hands of chef Stefano Michano,<br />

who served up a series of taster dishes such as scallops<br />

with champagne foam, and vanilla and black rice<br />

with fi sh and courgette cream. So much better than<br />

your average restaurant; the food was a talking point,<br />

a work of art, and delicious. Check out their website<br />

The big concrete terracing at Akritas Chloraka<br />

(bottom of Cyprus Division 2) is baking hot so<br />

I’m sitting on a stray bit of cardboard. There<br />

are maybe 100 fans dotted around in the area where<br />

my cousin Lewis and I, and thousands of fl ies, have<br />

settled to watch the game against the second-placed<br />

side from Larnaca. Just in front of the children aiming<br />

toilet rolls quite accurately at the halfway line is a guy<br />

hopping about selling tickets. But whether they are<br />

for the match we’re watching (the turnstiles were<br />

unmanned) or for a raffl e is unclear. About the same<br />

number of people are dotted around on the terraces<br />

behind the goal, a bit of concrete that seems to hang<br />

on the hillside. Well, actually, it does hang on the<br />

hillside, as the whole stadium is cut into a massive<br />

drop from what is little more than a village, situated<br />

a few miles from the tourist town of Paphos. The<br />

stadium is rubbish, the football is rubbish and<br />

youngsters from the home side’s youth team are<br />

throwing things at the opposition bigwigs who are<br />

sitting in front of me. But I adore every minute of it<br />

because I am a football lover.<br />

I’m doing my mid-life crisis thing and living in<br />

Cyprus for a few months, running on the beach in<br />

the mornings, working in a bar in the afternoons and<br />

generally loafi ng about. Akritas Chloraka’s “stadium”<br />

is just a short walk up the hill from my local (where<br />

I drink not work). The other ex-pats in the bar can’t<br />

believe I can be bothered to trek up the steep hill in<br />

the ridiculously hot (winter) heat; copies of this<br />

morning’s Mail On Sunday have just arrived and the<br />

air-con is turned up high. They order more beers.<br />

A couple of weeks later I jump in my Jeep and drive<br />

to the capital, Nicosia, to watch Cyprus hold Germany<br />

to a 1-1 draw in a European Championship qualifi er.<br />

It’s become a habit: I get on a plane, I watch football<br />

and visit stadiums. I’ve seen the FIFA Five-a-Side<br />

World Championships in Hong Kong, wangled my<br />

way into a corporate box in Gothenburg while<br />

watching the England under-21s, marvelled at the<br />

mad Boca Juniors fans in Buenos Aires, strolled down<br />

the tunnel at Real Madrid, even managed an interisland<br />

under-18 match while on honeymoon in<br />

Mauritius. Like football? Me?<br />

So you’ll forgive me for believing that the greatest<br />

thing to happen in the travel industry was when<br />

jumping on a plane to Europe became easier than<br />

catching a bus to Huddersfi eld. Passport? Check.<br />

Toothbrush? Check. Football ticket? Check.<br />

Today, when football fans scour the fi xtures for<br />

matches to watch it’s not just the English leagues they<br />

check out – it’s open season on Spain, Italy, France,<br />

Hungary and beyond. Here’s some things I’ve earnt<br />

about European footie and where to soak up the<br />

atmosphere when the game’s over.<br />

THE WORLD’S (SECOND)<br />

RICHEST CLUB<br />

With a revenue of £257.1m in 2007-8, Manchester<br />

United would have been sitting at the top of the pile<br />

in Deloitte’s annual money-making list had the pound<br />

not fallen against euro in that period (Real Madrid<br />

got the top spot). Expect local rivals Manchester City<br />

to leap up from their current position of 20th when<br />

the new list is published early in 2010.<br />

THE BEER SPONSORS<br />

Dutch beer brand Heineken sponsors the UEFA<br />

Champions League so it’d be downright rude not to<br />

show a little support, don’t you think? Luckily for<br />

beer drinkers and football fans, Amsterdam is home<br />

to one of the most attractive sides on the continent.<br />

AFC Ajax, four times European Cup winners, built<br />

their reputation by developing home-grown talent<br />

(including one of the world’s greatest players, Johan<br />

Cruyff) and gave birth to the phrase “total football”,<br />

where players change positions freely during the<br />

game. Sadly for them, a 1995 ruling in the European


Court of Justice, commonly known as the Bosman<br />

Ruling, meant that players out of contract could move<br />

clubs for nothing, so the Ajax of the present can be<br />

summed up by the phrase “young, gifted and leaving”.<br />

Still, console yourself with the fact that the Ajax<br />

players you watch today will be the Barcelona and<br />

Inter Milan stars of tomorrow.<br />

NAUGHTY, NAUGHTY<br />

Oh dear, Milan football, where to start? Inter Milan<br />

(who play in the blue and black kit) and AC Milan<br />

(who play in red and black) both call the legendary<br />

San Siro stadium home, and both have histories<br />

littered with, shall we say, noteworthy events. Clouds<br />

hung over Inter’s European semifi nal wins in 1964<br />

and 1965 when the team were accused of bribing<br />

referees, while just over four decades later AC had<br />

points deducted in a similar scandal. Then there are<br />

the fans: in 2001 riot police had to stop Inter Milan<br />

supporters pushing a motorbike off the second tier of<br />

the stadium, and in 2005 a player was injured with<br />

a flare, the same year racist chanting caused an<br />

Ivory Coast defender to attempt to walk off the pitch.<br />

Some years earlier, the entire AC side walked off<br />

to try to force a replay in a European Cup quarter<br />

fi nal that they were losing to Marseille when some<br />

fl oodlights failed. The match was awarded to Marseille<br />

and AC were banned from competing in Europe for<br />

a whole year.<br />

WHERE’S THE BAR?<br />

It’s certainly not hard to fi nd a bar in Budapest. But<br />

boy will you struggle to fi nd the best ones for a cold,<br />

post-match Dreher Classic. And it’s no wonder,<br />

because the best bars can be found in abandoned<br />

buildings, often move locations and are renowned for<br />

not advertising. You’ll have to ask a local. Or try the<br />

iconic Szimpla (Vll Kertész u 48; 00 36 1 321 5880).<br />

You’ll have less trouble fi nding Stadion Hidegkuti<br />

Nándor, which is just a couple of miles east of the<br />

river Danube and home to MTK Hungária, a club<br />

The fi rst time I went to Barcelona my art-loving<br />

companion made me walk a lap of the city admiring<br />

the infl uence of Gaudi and Miró. Then, in the evening,<br />

we circled the restaurants to fi nd one Picasso used to<br />

frequent. It was mobbed so we ended up eating tacos<br />

in a small Mexican place instead. This is where it truly<br />

hit me what football means in this city. A group of<br />

fans we chatted to made it clear that the club not only<br />

represented their Catalan identity but also that football<br />

was about winning “beautiful”. The Picasso museum<br />

is the second most popular in the city. The fi rst?<br />

Barcelona FC, of course, where art meets football.<br />

BACKDROP FOR SOME OF THE GREATEST MOVIES EVER MADE<br />

TEXT MATT GLASBY<br />

From Carthage’s Roman ruins in the<br />

north to Tozeur’s endless salt fl ats in the<br />

south, Tunisia is alive with history – fi lm<br />

history. It’s here that Luke Skywalker fi rst<br />

stropped off into Tattoine’s (double) sunset,<br />

Indiana Jones wrangled trucks, snakes and Nazis, and<br />

a man called Brian blasphemed his way to a crucifi x<br />

singalong. “You go out into the desert, wend your<br />

way in total isolation, fi nally crawl along and fi nd the<br />

place where you have an angle on everything,” recalls<br />

Canadian director David Cronenberg of his aborted<br />

attempt to film Total Recall in the unforgiving<br />

Saharan sands. “Then your guide says, ‘Yes, in Star<br />

Wars they put the camera over there!’”<br />

HE’S NOT<br />

THE MESSIAH,<br />

HE’S A VERY<br />

NAUGHTY BOY…<br />

As if the irony of lampooning Christianity in<br />

a Muslim country wasn’t enough, in late 1978 the<br />

Monty Python troupe decamped to the Tunisian port<br />

of Monastir to shoot the Bible-baiting Life Of Brian<br />

on sets left over from Franco Zeffi relli’s rather more<br />

reverential Jesus Of Nazareth miniseries. “I had all<br />

these elderly Tunisians telling me, ‘Well, Mr Zeffi relli<br />

wouldn’t have done it like that,’” remembers director<br />

Terry Jones. He certainly wouldn’t.<br />

A seething satire on the insanity of organised<br />

religion, the fi lm follows unwilling iconoclast Brian<br />

(Graham Chapman) from the stable to the cross in<br />

Roman-ruled Jerusalem. Standing in for the Holy<br />

Land, Monastir’s Ribat is a stone citadel built in 797<br />

that still conjures the same sense of dust, bustle and<br />

clandestine history. Stroll through the teeming bazaars<br />

and you’re sure to learn a thing or two about bartering.<br />

Stand on the watchtower, as Brian did, and you<br />

can see from former president Hassan Bourguiba’s<br />

mausoleum right out to the Med, although the crowds<br />

demanding that Pontius Pilate (Michael Palin)<br />

“Welease Woger!” have, thankfully, abated.<br />

Appropriately for a fi lm that rides roughshod over<br />

received wisdom, the Coliseum scenes weren’t fi lmed<br />

at El Jem, the third largest Roman amphitheatre<br />

in the world (after Rome and Capua), but at its more<br />

modest equivalent in Carthage, which was duly<br />

embellished with matte paintings and movie magic.<br />

Still, one glimpse of the majestic remains at either site<br />

puts paid to the question, “What have the Romans<br />

ever done for us?” and, besides, Tunisia is hardly<br />

a stranger to cinematic sleights of hand.<br />

INDIANA, WE ARE SIMPLY PASSING<br />

THROUGH HISTORY. THIS, THIS IS HISTORY!<br />

Whether spicing up stiff-upper-lip sauce-fest<br />

The English Patient or anchoring the derring-do of<br />

Raiders Of The Lost Ark, Tunisia has proved itself<br />

nothing if not adaptable, particularly for those hoping<br />

to recreate Egypt on the cheap. In the former, creepy<br />

count Ralph Fiennes stalks horny posho Kristin Scott<br />

Thomas through the mêlée of an open-air market<br />

(actually Sfax), asking: “Did you see the Pyramids?”<br />

in his pinched, ever-punchable tenor. “Er, no mate,<br />

they’re 2,000 kilometres away,” she should, but doesn’t,<br />

reply. In the latter, Indy (Harrison Ford) and chums<br />

toast “Cairo, city of the living”, while looking out<br />

over the beautiful white roofs of Tunisia’s Kairouan.<br />

Local experts attribute these cinematic switcheroos<br />

to Tunisia’s geographical variety. “You can fi nd green<br />

European-style locations fi ve hours drive from the<br />

waterless desert,” says Taieb Jellouli of CTV Services<br />

fi lm production. “In the early days of Hollywood,<br />

this is one of the reasons the fi lm industry appreciated<br />

California – the variety of scenery over a small area<br />

and the favourable climate.”<br />

It’s not always plain LA sailing though. During<br />

the suitably action-packed Raiders shoot, Ford was<br />

paying a cinematic pilgrimage to the breath-taking<br />

known as Star Wars Canyon because of its prominent<br />

role in a certain sci-fi blockbuster.<br />

A LONG TIME<br />

GALAXY FAR,<br />

For the truly dedicated fi lm afi cionado, Tunisia<br />

means only one thing: Star Wars. “When I was<br />

searching in 1977 for somewhere to fi lm the fi rst one,<br />

I found Tunisia the ideal place: beautiful countryside,<br />

unique architecture and a very high level of technical<br />

sophistication,” explains writer/director George<br />

Lucas, who would return again for the increasingly<br />

mercenary prequels and appropriate the name of<br />

a local town, Tataouine, for his hero’s desert home.<br />

First among fan sites is the Hotel Sidi Driss in the<br />

southeastern town of Matmata where, to escape the<br />

punishing heat, the local Berber people carved out<br />

troglodyte dwellings. Hewn into the earth, the hotel<br />

consists of fi ve, for want of a better word, pits, the last<br />

of which served as Luke Skywalker’s childhood<br />

residence. Although you can’t sleep in the exact spot<br />

Luke would have (it’s now a kitchen), set dressing<br />

from the fi lms remains, and the bar has been cheekily<br />

(and incorrectly) renamed the Mos Eisly Cantina<br />

to fool lesser geeks into thinking later scenes were<br />

shot there too.<br />

Because of the ever-shifting sands of the desert,<br />

fi nding the exact locations sometimes requires Jedilevel<br />

skills. The exteriors of the building, where<br />

moonscapes of the Chott el Jerid salt fl ats. Rebuilt for<br />

2000’s The Phantom Menace, a distinctive igloo-like<br />

spot. Self-styled Star Wars “Pioneer” Mark Dermul<br />

(www.markdermul.be), who’s led expeditions to the<br />

motherland since 2001, strongly recommends using<br />

a guide to explore this and the more outré sets (try<br />

Ghilane Travel Services, www.gts.douz.free.fr), but<br />

insists that following in Luke Skywalker’s footprints<br />

still gives him goosebumps. “We stayed there until<br />

sunset and played some Star Wars music from an iPod<br />

in the background,” he recalls. “Nothing has ever<br />

been able to match that magical moment.”<br />

How to…<br />

What would we do without social networking?<br />

Some actual work, probably. When it comes<br />

to modern technology, nothing is more<br />

successful – and creates as much division – as<br />

the act of harnessing the apex of 4,000 years of<br />

accumulated technological advances in order to tell<br />

the world what your fi ve favourite biscuits are, or how<br />

much you miss the genius of Michael Jackson/Stephen<br />

Gately/Keith Floyd. For some people, it’s as much<br />

a part of their daily routine as eating and drinking<br />

(there are already over 160 Facebook addiction groups<br />

on Facebook. That’s how addictive Facebook is). For<br />

others, it’s another example of the general nonviscosity<br />

of social bonding in modern society. Put it<br />

this way: if text messages and emails were perfect for<br />

people who didn’t want to talk to their mates, Twitter<br />

is for people who can’t even be bothered to do that.<br />

According to Jack Dorsey, the inventor of Twitter,<br />

the definition of the name is “a short burst of<br />

inconsequential information” – and if he’s saying that,<br />

why should anyone else bother with it?<br />

TEXT ALAN NEEDHAM | ILLUSTRATION HENRY OBASI<br />

Here’s why. When used properly, Twitter and Facebook<br />

are capable of far more than just plumbing you into<br />

a pipeline of never-ending trivia. If you’re constantly on<br />

the move, they’re invaluable resources for staying in touch<br />

with your loved ones, plus they can raise your online<br />

profi le to make you look dead important. All you have<br />

to do is fi lter in the right people, keep out the riff-raff,<br />

get shot of undesirables the minute they start playing up<br />

and – most important of all – lie your rear off in the most<br />

creative ways possible.<br />

Jet2.com Jet2.com 65


FORMULATE A PLAN FOR YOUR ONLINE<br />

PROFILE, AND STICK TO IT<br />

Remember, Facebook was originally a networking<br />

tool for work purposes. Great news if you’re selfemployed<br />

and need stay in touch with like-minded<br />

people; not so great if you make a living picking<br />

misshapen Noodle Doodles from a conveyor belt. So<br />

you need to decide whether you’re using Facebook<br />

for work or play – even though as soon as other people<br />

see you on there they’re going to hammer you with<br />

friend requests anyway.<br />

As for Twitter, well, it was originally created for<br />

trivial purposes, but was soon hijacked for nefarious<br />

means by politicians. The high-water mark for Twitter<br />

was the 2008 US Election when Barack Obama used<br />

it constantly, while Republicans in Connecticut set<br />

up fake Twitter accounts for 33 local Democrat bigwigs<br />

and got up to all manner of tomfoolery. Tsk. Find<br />

something you feel you specialise in, be it an activity<br />

or an area of the world, and bang on relentlessly about<br />

it. For example, the Twittersphere is rammed with<br />

travel tweeters, from offi cial tourist boards (such as<br />

@visitholland and @arizonatourism), to solid advice<br />

and tips (such as @seatguru – how to nab the best<br />

seats on planes), to the outright random (such as<br />

@stoppedclocks, which aims to document every<br />

public clock in the UK that doesn’t work any more).<br />

HAVE A CONVERSATION – FOR ABOUT<br />

THREE HOURS AT THE BARE MINIMUM –<br />

WITH YOUR PARTNER ABOUT YOUR<br />

RELATIONSHIP STATUS<br />

We now live in a world where we fi nd out about other<br />

people’s marriages, divorces, pregnancies and split-ups<br />

via a few dozen characters and a thumbnail gif of<br />

a broken heart. You might think social networking<br />

is a convenient way of letting the world know about<br />

what’s going on with your life, but a sizable chunk of<br />

that world would still rather be told about certain<br />

things face to face – y’know, as if they were a friend,<br />

as opposed to an address on a mailing list. Particularly<br />

the person you have just dumped after changing your<br />

profi le status from ‘in a relationship’ to ‘single’.<br />

66JetAway<br />

GET HOOKED UP TO FAMOUS PEOPLE, AND<br />

ACT AS IF YOU KNOW THEM<br />

This is dead easy to do if you’re on Twitter – there<br />

are entire magazines available that do nothing but list<br />

the account details of celebs. Obviously, said celebs<br />

don’t give a toss how many people subscribe to their<br />

accounts. For example, Hugh Hefner has 75,000<br />

people on his Twitter friend list, but do you honestly<br />

think he sits there thinking: “Hmmm, should I roll<br />

about on a massive bed with some blonde quintuplets,<br />

or should I talk to some people I don’t know?”<br />

However, don’t let that deter you. Make sure to<br />

tack on @(name of celebrity here) in your tweets, no<br />

matter how mundane, to make you look as if you and<br />

they are in the same boat. Example: “@barackobama<br />

and I both think that dark chocolate Digestives are<br />

better with tea.” At the very least, get linked up to<br />

Stephen Fry – he’ll take anyone on, and takes<br />

Twittering so seriously that there’s a decent chance<br />

he might even talk to you. His embracing of social<br />

networking is so all-consuming that when he<br />

threatened to leave Twitter after a row with someone<br />

it became headline news, and brought on the ire of<br />

people such as antiques expert Martin Miller. “The<br />

internet has the effect of drawing children in and<br />

locking them psychologically in a type of foetal<br />

deadlock where nothing is linear, everything is lateral<br />

HUGH HEFNER<br />

TWITTER FRIEND LIST


and globular,” he said in a press release. Unfortunately,<br />

even he fell into the same trap by going on to say,<br />

“I’m with Vivienne Westwood on this one…”<br />

THINK VERY CAREFULLY ABOUT LINKING<br />

UP WITH PEOPLE YOU KNEW AT SCHOOL<br />

The temptation to virtually “reacquaint yourself” with<br />

that boy who looked awfully drooly in that red<br />

Harrington with a UB40 transfer on the back, or that<br />

girl who filled out a school uniform as if she was<br />

smuggling a bouncy castle, is irresistible, but the urge<br />

has to be fought against at all costs. If you can’t or won’t,<br />

don’t be surprised if you are faced with images of said<br />

girl spilling out of the same school uniform in Flares,<br />

or said boy looking as if he has been comprehensively<br />

beaten with the obesity stick.<br />

Not only that, but there’s another downside to<br />

adding your schoolmates – the fact that most of them<br />

can’t let go of the past. You could be having a very<br />

illuminating discussion with your new chums about,<br />

say, the objectifi cation of women in the “Rate A<br />

Hottie” box to the side of your profi le, only for it to<br />

be interrupted by someone you haven’t seen since last<br />

century butting in with “don’t no bout th@, m8 – u<br />

usd 2 sel me nudy bks @ skul LOL”.<br />

HONE AND POLISH YOUR FRIEND LIST<br />

TO A BLINDING SHEEN<br />

Look at it this way: if you were hosting an enormous<br />

dinner party, would you invite absolutely everyone<br />

you knew? Of course not. There’d be arguments and<br />

fi ghts and someone’s eye would get taken out with<br />

a fl ying sausage roll. So cull at will, for any reason<br />

whatsoever – the pettier the better. For example,<br />

here’s a shortlist of misdemeanours that have lead to<br />

various acquaintances being expelled from my<br />

hallowed circle of friendship…<br />

Using the word “chillax” in status updates.<br />

Repeating the same joke about Michael Jackson on<br />

four occasions.<br />

Persistently talking about The X Factor, as if it were<br />

actually important in any way.<br />

Bombarding me with invites for events at his pub,<br />

down to and including the opening of a new brazier<br />

in the beer garden.<br />

Updating their status in online poker games every<br />

two minutes.<br />

networking – by appearing to be accessible to the<br />

general public while shoving them as far away as<br />

How to…<br />

BRITNEY SPEARS RECENTLY<br />

possible – it’s celebs, and a depressingly sizeable<br />

amount of copywriters are currently eking out a living<br />

as “ghost tweeters”. Britney Spears recently took out<br />

a job advert for someone to handle her Facebook and<br />

Twitter accounts, while Kanye West has two people<br />

writing his blog for him. If, like them, you can’t be<br />

bothered to fi ddle about with your BlackBerry in the<br />

back of a Hummer for all of half<br />

a minute every day, there are plenty of consultancies<br />

and freelancers desperate to take money from you –<br />

but be prepared to pay anything from £20 an hour<br />

to hundreds of pounds for a full revamp. However,<br />

as Shaquille O’Neal pointed out (possibly on Twitter),<br />

“It’s 140 characters… if you need a ghostwriter for<br />

that, I feel sorry for you.” If you need to know which<br />

celeb is faking it, try www.tweetexorcist.com, a site<br />

which specialises, rather opportunistically, in outing<br />

ghostwritten Twitter accounts.<br />

BE PREPARED FOR EVERY SKELETON IN YOUR<br />

FRIENDS’ CLOSETS TO TUMBLE OUT<br />

As Shakespeare himself said: “There’s many a slip<br />

twixt keyboard and fi ngertip.” It’s frightening how<br />

quickly people forget that the whole point of social<br />

networking is to let everybody see almost everything<br />

you write, upload and link to. For example,<br />

thanks to Facebook, I now know that one of my<br />

best mates – a massive, hairy, thrash metal fan – is<br />

very keen on groups where other men put up<br />

photos of themselves wearing stockings and<br />

suspenders. I had another friend who had a<br />

penchant for groups entitled “White Girls Should<br />

Date White Men” (notice the usage of the word<br />

“had”), and I was also fortunate enough to catch<br />

part of an incriminating Wall conversation between<br />

two work colleagues in which they were being<br />

most uncharitable about their boss’s wife.<br />

Unfortunately, so did said boss. Oops.<br />

THE FIRE AND ROCK ISLAND<br />

Why Lanza’ rules: Lanzarote is one island that is hot,<br />

hot, hot. Not only is it just the smallest of hop, skip<br />

and jumps off the coast of sizzling West Africa (or<br />

127km to be exact), meaning it’s toasty all year round,<br />

but its incredible lunar landscapes are the result of<br />

tonnes and tonnes of volcanic activity. In fact, so awesome<br />

are the ’scapes that September saw fashion house<br />

Sisley use the island as a backdrop for its new mail-order<br />

website. So it’s a hotspot in more ways than one.<br />

The highlight of Lanzarote’s spectacular geography<br />

is the Montañas del Fuego (fi re mountains) region of<br />

Timanfaya National Park, which was created 300 or<br />

so years ago when more than 100 volcanoes formed<br />

rapidly over a 50km sq area, devastating everything<br />

in their path. Here, volcanic activity remains just<br />

under the surface – literally – with the park running<br />

demonstrations to show how, just a few metres below<br />

your feet, temperatures of between 400ºC and 600ºC<br />

still rage to this day.<br />

But the volcanoes keep on giving. As well as the<br />

lunar landscapes and the “fi re island” national park,<br />

Lanzarote sits atop a huge cave system, created by – yup<br />

– volcanic activity. Not only is there the world’s<br />

longest volcanic cave to get your noodle around (the<br />

Atlantida Tunnel, coming in it at nearly 7km), but<br />

there’s also the Jameos del Agua. A series of caves with<br />

collapsed roofs that have been turned into an auditorium,<br />

a pool, restaurants and gardens, the one-ofa-kind<br />

Jameos has been dubbed “the most beautiful<br />

nightclub in the world” by the famous artist and<br />

architect who developed them, César Manrique.<br />

Give your holiday the royal treatment: Isango<br />

runs several great tours showing off landscapes that are<br />

truly unique to the Canaries. For those that want to<br />

give their holiday some fireworks, the Southern<br />

Lanzarote Nature Tour comes highly recommended.<br />

CAN’T TAKE THE HEAT?<br />

Don’t worry if stunning lunar<br />

landscapes and volcano-based<br />

fun ain’t ya thing – there’s plenty<br />

more to do. Especially if you’re<br />

into watersports. Yep, if you want<br />

to get rad, man, Lanza’s the place,<br />

with surfi ng, windsurfi ng,<br />

kitesurfi ng and kiteboarding all<br />

huge on the island. Or if all that is<br />

waaaay too energetic for you,<br />

then how about some spa action?<br />

Spa enthusiasts who know that it<br />

takes more than a tepid Jacuzzi<br />

and a dank steam room to make<br />

a spa will love the one at the<br />

Hotel Beatriz on Costa Teguise,<br />

a Roman-themed thallasotherapy<br />

centre with 23 separate water<br />

treatments. Failing that, there’s<br />

always the beach, babe.<br />

If you want to bake by day and burn the<br />

Tenerife<br />

THE SPLIT-PERSONALITY ISLAND<br />

Why the ’Rife rules: Tenerife, the king of the<br />

Canaries, is pure gold for those can’t decide what to do<br />

with their holiday. Detox or retox? Sun and sand or<br />

offbeat adventure? Ah, decisions, decisions…<br />

Of course, with its 67km of beaches and smoking<br />

nightlife, the island is best known for its classic beach<br />

’n’ clubbing combo. If you want to bake by day and<br />

burn the dancefl oor up by night then the ’Rife is<br />

without doubt the place for you. Head to Playa de Las<br />

Americas, the epicentre of the clubbing scene, to shake<br />

your tail feather to some funky fl oor fi llers, get sticky<br />

at a foam party, or blow your whistle to a huge range<br />

of superstar DJs.<br />

But that’s not all this spectacular island has to offer,<br />

oh no. If you peel yourself away from the clubs and off<br />

the beaches, you’ll discover something so different it’ll<br />

blow you away – the interior of Tenerife is so beautiful<br />

that nearly half of the island is protected by the Canary<br />

Islands Network for Naturally Protected Areas<br />

72JetAway<br />

conservation group.<br />

As well as rocking the singularly huge World<br />

Heritage-listed Teide volcano (the third tallest on the<br />

planet, no less), Tenerife offers a stunning diversity of<br />

microclimates. Away from the bustle of the coast,<br />

nature reigns supreme. Here, pine forests, snow-capped<br />

volcanic peaks, semi-deserts, cliffs, massifs, valleys,<br />

ravines and gorges rule, so grab a decent pair of<br />

walking shoes, get to the Parque Nacional del Teide,<br />

choose one of the 21 marked trails and then kiss that<br />

hangover goodbye!<br />

Give your holiday the royal treatment: Isango<br />

runs trips to Mount Teide, meaning you can go from<br />

being the king or queen of sun-lounging, cocktailquaffi<br />

ng, and dancefl oor-burning to being a nature<br />

lover in one easy step. www.isango.com<br />

NEW<br />

DESTINATION!<br />

Gran Canaria<br />

THE WHOLE-WORLD-IN-ONE ISLAND<br />

Why Gran’ rules: Called “the miniature continent”,<br />

this modest island is no one-trick-pony. From the<br />

charming “Little Venice” village of Puerto Mogan to<br />

the vast, romantic beauty of the Saharan Dunes of<br />

Maspalomas, via the Wild West rock formations of the<br />

Parque Rural del Nublo, the alpine pine forests of<br />

Tamadaba, the paradisiacal La Aldea beach, and the<br />

verdant Doramas Jungle, you could go round the world<br />

in one week on Unesco-protected Gran Canaria.<br />

Enough, in other words, to keep those getting a bit<br />

fi dgety on their sun loungers busy.<br />

Of course, with this one-off island, hiring a car and<br />

driving around with your jaw on the fl oor would be<br />

entertainment enough. But why do just that when you<br />

74JetAway<br />

experience it up close and personal? Make like<br />

Lawrence of Arabia and trek the 400-hectare stretch<br />

of the Maspalomas dunes on foot or atop a camel, head<br />

to the aeroclub at Tarajalillo on the south coast and get<br />

a bird’s eye view of the island with a scenic fl ight, go<br />

horse riding across a national park, try diving off<br />

Puerto de Mogan to explore the shipwrecks and caves<br />

(or check out the marine reserve at Playa de El Cabrón<br />

on the eastern side), or simply go day-tripping on<br />

a catamaran and pootle around the coast.<br />

Give your holiday the royal treatment: Don’t<br />

worry if you can’t decide what you’d like to do – you<br />

can do it all! Isango operates a wide variety of tours,<br />

from helicopter rides to catamaran trips. Our favourite?<br />

The Adventure Tour, a full-day trip that will see you<br />

exploring the island’s amazing interior on a Jeep safari<br />

and camel ride. www.isango.com<br />

OK, you can stop polishing<br />

your halo. You’ve done the<br />

walking, the riding and the diving,<br />

now you want to hit the town –<br />

hard. Those looking for<br />

a good retox session will be<br />

pleased to discover that the<br />

nightlife of Gran Canaria is as<br />

diverse as its landscape. There<br />

are nightclubs, foam parties,<br />

karaoke, casinos and cabarets,<br />

not to mention bars for cocktails,<br />

sports and the appreciation of all<br />

one liveliest gay scenes in Europe,<br />

1. PLAY GOLF<br />

Alicante is rapidly gaining<br />

a reputation as a golfing<br />

mecca, with two excellent<br />

18-hole courses: El Plantío<br />

and Alicante Golf, which was<br />

designed by the legendary<br />

Seve Ballesteros.<br />

2. HIT THE HEIGHTS<br />

Climb up to the top of the<br />

medieval castle of Santa<br />

Bárbara, which overlooks<br />

the city. It’s 166 metres high,<br />

but fear not – there’s a<br />

handy lift carved into the<br />

middle of the mountain.<br />

3. TAKE A STROLL<br />

Alicante is famed for its<br />

that were laid in 1957 using<br />

a whopping 6,500,000 tiles.<br />

AN HOUR AWAY...<br />

Guadalest, or the “Eagle’s<br />

Nest”. This incredible village,<br />

perched on top of a mountain,<br />

is one of Spain’s most<br />

popular tourist attractions.<br />

Built by the Moors in the 12th<br />

century, it still has around<br />

200 inhabitants today.<br />

MOST FAMOUS<br />

EXPORT: TURRON<br />

1. GET OVER IT<br />

While you’re here you can’t<br />

miss taking a walk across<br />

the Charles Bridge. You’ve<br />

seen its baroque statues in<br />

lots of movies and pop promos,<br />

so now’s your chance<br />

to take a stroll across one<br />

of the most romantic bridges<br />

in the world.<br />

2. GO FOR A COFFEE<br />

This is the heart of Bohemia,<br />

where sipping coffee, eating<br />

cake and jabbering on for<br />

entire afternoons was<br />

invented. The Czech capital<br />

boasts some fabulous oldworld<br />

coffee houses, the<br />

grandest of which is<br />

undoubtedly Café Imperial<br />

(www.cafeimperial.cz).<br />

3. VISIT A MUSEUM<br />

Describing itself as a “fully<br />

immersive experience” –<br />

there’s even an interrogation<br />

room, should you feel<br />

the urge to confess – the<br />

Museum of Communism is<br />

a blast from the past (www.<br />

muzeumkomunismu.cz).<br />

AN HOUR AWAY...<br />

Around 80 miles west of<br />

Prague, discover the pictur-<br />

hot springs.<br />

MOST FAMOUS<br />

EXPORT: BEER<br />

DECEMBER – JANUARY<br />

Over The Fence<br />

Ski-loving ex-Londoner Helen Lavender and globe-trotting local lass<br />

Melanie Marullaz share the upsides of life on the slopes of Morzine<br />

84JetAway<br />

NEW GIRL<br />

NAME: HELEN<br />

AGE: 34<br />

NATIONALITY: BRITISH<br />

WHERE DO YOU LIVE AND<br />

WHAT YOU DO?<br />

I live in the lively ski resort<br />

of Morzine in the French<br />

Alps. I fi rst moved here in<br />

December 2002 with my<br />

husband, when we decided<br />

to set up a ski and snowboarding<br />

company providing<br />

cool, super-stylish holidays.<br />

Previously we’d both worked<br />

nine-to-fi ve jobs in London,<br />

but after working for a ski<br />

season it inspired us to<br />

make a career change, combining<br />

our passion for mountain<br />

sports with our business,<br />

sales and marketing skills.<br />

Now I look after all of the<br />

bookings, PR and marketing<br />

for our company, www.<br />

rudechalets.com.<br />

WERE PEOPLE SUPPORTIVE<br />

OF YOUR MOVE?<br />

Yes! My family and friends<br />

were really excited about<br />

our new business venture.<br />

They knew how much I loved<br />

my mountain sports and<br />

realised that building a business<br />

in the mountains would<br />

be the perfect career and<br />

lifestyle choice for me.<br />

IN WHAT WAYS HAS YOUR<br />

LIFE CHANGED SINCE YOU<br />

MOVED TO FRANCE?<br />

I enjoyed living in the UK, but<br />

it would be hard to leave<br />

Morzine, as I love it here.<br />

I work harder now than I’ve<br />

ever worked in my life, but<br />

I never dread going to work<br />

in the morning and I love the<br />

challenge that each day<br />

brings. Being in charge of<br />

my own time means I can<br />

take advantage of sunny<br />

days, fresh snow and lastminute<br />

travel deals, and<br />

thanks to modern technology<br />

I have a mobile offi ce –<br />

this year I’ve run the<br />

business from a surf beach<br />

near Biarritz, the jungles of<br />

Costa Rica and a tent at the<br />

Glastonbury festival!<br />

HOW DO YOU LIKE TO<br />

SPEND YOUR SPARE TIME?<br />

In the winter I’m snowboarding<br />

and exploring new ski<br />

areas, enjoying long lunches<br />

in the sunshine and fantastic<br />

powder days with a refreshing<br />

après-ski beer. The rest<br />

of the year I love surfi ng on<br />

the Atlantic coast, swimming<br />

in Morzine’s beautiful<br />

Olympic-sized pool, hiking,<br />

going to music festivals and<br />

hanging out in London with<br />

my family and friends.<br />

WHAT ARE MORZINE’S<br />

BEST-KEPT SECRETS?<br />

The Happy Valley off-piste<br />

area of the Portes du Soleil<br />

is a secret powder stash<br />

with loads of natural jumps,<br />

drops and little tree-lined<br />

gullies. It’s so much fun to go<br />

riding there, and at the end<br />

of the Prodains home run<br />

from Avoriaz there is<br />

a lovely little bar called La<br />

Kinkerne, run by an old lady<br />

called Mart. The sunny terrace<br />

has stunning mountain<br />

views and Mart makes<br />

a cracking vin chaud and<br />

serves the best Savoyade<br />

food I’ve tasted, from


cheese fondue and tartifl<br />

ette to locally caught fi l e t<br />

de perche and sumptuous<br />

pepper steaks.<br />

HOW ARE THE LOCALS?<br />

The locals in Morzine are<br />

laidback, friendly and welcoming.<br />

We have some<br />

really good French friends<br />

who are very generous and<br />

always welcome us into their<br />

homes for an aperitif and<br />

a fresh fruit tart.<br />

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE<br />

LOCAL MUST-DOS?<br />

You must explore the<br />

diverse ski area of Morzine-<br />

Avoriaz, and in summer take<br />

a nerve-racking mountain<br />

trek in Roque d’Enfer to<br />

enjoy fantastic views of the<br />

Morzine valley. Eat a tartifl<br />

ette – an amazingly tasty<br />

cheesy Savoyade potato pie<br />

– and drink a Mutzig beer<br />

from the legendary Bar<br />

Robinson, a Morzine aprèsski<br />

institution!<br />

LOCAL GIRL<br />

NAME: MELANIE<br />

AGE: 33<br />

NATIONALITY: FRENCH<br />

WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST<br />

ABOUT THIS AREA?<br />

I grew up in the mountains<br />

and spent my time skiing,<br />

swimming and building tree<br />

houses. I lived in Paris for<br />

about 10 years, but then<br />

came back with my husband<br />

to raise our kids and give<br />

them a chance to ski, swim<br />

and build tree houses like<br />

I did. It’s like having the sea<br />

at the foot of the mountains<br />

– 10 minutes one way, and<br />

you can take a refreshing<br />

swim in clear waters then<br />

enjoy a sunset meal overlooking<br />

Switzerland; 30 minutes<br />

the other direction and<br />

you can climb the mountains,<br />

pick blueberries and enjoy<br />

the freedom and space...<br />

and ski when the snow<br />

comes, of course!<br />

WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT<br />

LOCAL LIFE?<br />

People like to share, especially<br />

in the villages. They<br />

leave fruit and vegetables<br />

from their gardens on your<br />

doorstep and invite you in<br />

for a drink when you walk<br />

by. I’ve lived in London and<br />

loved it, but I missed going<br />

to the market, talking to the<br />

fi shmonger, the butcher or<br />

the fl orist, and hearing them<br />

boast about the freshness<br />

of their products. I love the<br />

DIY approach of things here,<br />

like repairing your car with<br />

your neighbour, helping<br />

them to put up a wall, and<br />

making your own walnut oil<br />

or redcurrant wine.<br />

‘Try the Happy Valley off-piste area<br />

of the Portes du Soleil – a secret<br />

powder stash with loads of natural<br />

jumps, drops and tree-lined gullies’<br />

WHAT ARE THE AREA’S<br />

BEST-KEPT SECRETS?<br />

In summer, Lydie’s traditional<br />

beignets de pomme<br />

de terre (potato dumplings),<br />

chicken casserole and salad<br />

at La Cascade de Nyon, or<br />

Martine’s homemade pies at<br />

the l’Auberge le Vanant at<br />

the end of La Vallée de la<br />

Manche. In winter, Le Petit<br />

Resto at the bottom of Le<br />

Pleney is a really cool place<br />

for lunch, where kids can<br />

play in the snow while you<br />

enjoy Sophie’s to-die-for<br />

tiramisu.<br />

WHAT’S THE ULTIMATE<br />

MORZINE SOUVENIR?<br />

A grolle! It’s a kind of wooden<br />

coffeepot, round, with four<br />

to eight holes that you drink<br />

from. You use it after a meal<br />

and put coffee, sugar, pieces<br />

of orange and schnapps in<br />

it, then pass it around the<br />

table. But it should never<br />

touch the table before it’s<br />

empty, as it’s bad luck!<br />

Flat Flurry<br />

In France<br />

French property developer<br />

MGM is all set to build 400<br />

new leaseback ski apartments<br />

in four locations – Val<br />

Cenis, Flaine, Alpe d’Huez<br />

and Tignes – in the Haute-<br />

Maurienne region close to<br />

the Italian border.<br />

The business confi rmed<br />

that there has been<br />

increased demand for ski<br />

properties in the French<br />

Alps over the past six<br />

months, largely thanks to<br />

last season’s excellent snow<br />

conditions. Full details of the<br />

four new projects have not<br />

yet been fi nalised, but MGM<br />

confi rms that the Val Cenis<br />

properties will range from<br />

“affordable” ski apartments<br />

to a four-star residence de<br />

tourisme boasting an indoor<br />

pool, fitness suite, gym,<br />

sauna, Jacuzzi and steam<br />

rooms as well as a beauty<br />

centre offering a range of<br />

massages and treatments.<br />

BUSINESS AND PROPERTY<br />

Suspense In<br />

Salzburg<br />

A brand new 140-metre-long<br />

suspension bridge is due to<br />

open near the mountain<br />

resort of Bad Gastein. Lift<br />

operator Gasteiner Bergbahnen<br />

AG has revealed<br />

that the pedestrian bridge<br />

will open on 8 December.<br />

The bridge will be the<br />

highest of its kind in Europe,<br />

and will sit 2,300 metres<br />

above sea level and a whopping<br />

28 metres above the<br />

ground. Crossing the<br />

Stubnerkogel Valley, the<br />

bridge will be supported<br />

with steel cables to ensure<br />

it survives winds of up to<br />

200 kilometres an hour. Not<br />

recommended for those<br />

who dislike heights!<br />

Swiss On A Roll<br />

Despite the economic doom<br />

and gloom, it seems that<br />

owners of ski chalets in<br />

Switzerland have nothing to<br />

be down about. According<br />

to Savills, ski chalets in the<br />

Swiss Alps have increased<br />

in value by up to 20% over<br />

the past year thanks to<br />

growing demand for luxury<br />

property in the country.<br />

Apparently Villars in Vaud<br />

and the Verbier and Four<br />

Valleys resorts in Valais<br />

have been experiencing the<br />

most interest. The high<br />

appreciation rates are due<br />

to the fact that very few nonresident<br />

purchase permits<br />

are issued each year, and<br />

property owners must own<br />

their homes for fi ve years<br />

before they can sell.<br />

most wanted<br />

Subject:// Gordon Gibb<br />

Threat:// This fresh-faced<br />

theme-park tycoon knows how to<br />

mix business with pleasure<br />

Stats & Facts://<br />

Gordon Gibb’s introduction to the business world<br />

can best be described as a baptism of fi re. Following<br />

his father’s sudden death, the 18 year old was<br />

catapulted into the position of general manager<br />

at family-owned leisure park Flamingo Land in<br />

Malton, North Yorkshire. The popular tourist<br />

attraction, which includes a theme park and zoo,<br />

“felt a bit like a rudderless ship in the early days<br />

without Dad”, he remembers.<br />

Despite his father’s absence, the young Scot<br />

quickly settled into his lofty position. Under his<br />

management the park’s visitor numbers grew year<br />

on year throughout the 1990s, and turnover has<br />

more than doubled over the past ten years. Gibb<br />

became CEO of Flamingo Land in 1997, which is<br />

now the UK’s third most popular theme park.<br />

88JetAway<br />

In August 2002, Gibb became the Football<br />

League’s youngest ever chairman, taking control<br />

of struggling Bradford City aged just 26<br />

and once again following in his father’s footsteps<br />

– the late Robert Gibb had been chairman of<br />

Scottish side Hamilton Academical.<br />

While at Bradford, Gordon reduced the ailing<br />

club’s annual wage bill from £10m to £2m. He<br />

also lured former Manchester United and England<br />

legend Bryan Robson to become manager of the<br />

Bantams, After putting the club on a stable business<br />

footing, a disagreement with fellow investor<br />

Julian Rhodes saw Gibb resign as chairman just<br />

two years later. He has no regrets about getting<br />

involved with the beautiful game, however,<br />

describing it as “extremely hard work, very high<br />

pressure but immensely exciting”.<br />

Gibb’s main focus remains his 375-acre family<br />

heirloom. His long-term vision for Flamingo<br />

Land is “to grow it into a nationally recognised<br />

holiday destination as well as a theme park”. The<br />

family is also behind a major conservation project<br />

in Tanzania, which he hopes to expand as his<br />

business enjoys ongoing success.<br />

Gibb is currently looking for commercial ties to<br />

his homeland, Scotland, as well. “I head there as<br />

often as possible, and I would love to have a business<br />

north of the border,” he says. To this end, he<br />

approached Glasgow City Council about building<br />

a large viewing wheel, similar to the London Eye,<br />

on Buchanan Street a few years ago, but the proposal<br />

fell on deaf ears.<br />

All of which hasn’t stopped those cogs from<br />

whirring in Gibb’s highly trained business brain.<br />

His motivation? Maintaining the legacy of the<br />

man he calls his “inspiration as a businessman and<br />

as a human being”.<br />

SAFETY ONBOARD<br />

RESPONSIBLE FLYING WITH JET2.COM<br />

Safety & Comfort<br />

Most of the following guidelines are mandatory under<br />

Civil Aviation Authority Regulations to make your fl ight<br />

safe, comfortable and enjoyable<br />

96JetAway<br />

SAFETY ONBOARD<br />

Knowing what to do in the unlikely event of an emergency could<br />

make all the difference to you and your family. The safety<br />

information card in your seat pocket and the cabin crew’s safety<br />

briefi ng give you vital information on the location of exits and<br />

emergency equipment. As this can vary from one airline to another<br />

it is important to pay attention to the safety briefi ng and read the<br />

safety card each time you fl y. Our crew are specially trained to<br />

ensure your safety and security at all times. It is an offence to<br />

refuse to obey any lawful command of the captain or cabin crew.<br />

Our primary concern is YOUR safety at all times.<br />

MOBILE PHONES<br />

To prevent interference to the aircraft communication and<br />

control systems the use of mobile phones or any other<br />

wireless communication devices is restricted onboard.<br />

Mobiles must not be used for internet access, text messaging<br />

or voice calls while onboard the aircraft. If your device is<br />

fi tted with a “fl ight mode” or something similar you should<br />

switch it to this before the aircraft doors are closed to<br />

prevent any accidental transmission or reception.<br />

SEATBELTS<br />

Seatbelts are there to protect you from injury and you are<br />

recommended to keep your belt fastened throughout the fl ight,<br />

and must do so whenever the seatbelt sign is switched on (during<br />

taxi, take-off, landing and turbulence). You should always adjust<br />

the seatbelt so that it is tight but comfortable with the buckle the<br />

right way around so that it can be easily released. Infants travelling<br />

on a passenger’s lap will require an infant seatbelt, which our<br />

cabin crew will be happy to fi t for you.<br />

SMOKING<br />

Smoking is NOT PERMITTED on any of our fl ights, and for<br />

the safety of all our passengers the toilet compartments<br />

are fi tted with highly sensitive smoke detectors. Violation of<br />

this law may lead to prosecution and a substantial fi ne.<br />

ALCOHOL<br />

Please bear in mind that high altitude increases the physical<br />

effects of alcohol, so moderate consumption is recommended.<br />

It is illegal to be intoxicated onboard an aircraft. The consumption<br />

of any alcoholic beverage other than those supplied from the<br />

in-fl ight bar is not permitted and the crew are authorised to<br />

remove alcohol from passengers drinking from their own supplies.<br />

PASSENGER BEHAVIOUR<br />

Jet2.com expects our passengers to behave in a responsible<br />

manner and we will not tolerate unacceptable behaviour. This<br />

includes foul language and any other behaviour that reduces other<br />

passengers’ enjoyment of the fl ight and causes them, or our staff,<br />

any degree of distress, discomfort or unnecessary inconvenience.<br />

We reserve the right to ban passengers from future fl ights if their<br />

behaviour is a threat to the safety of our passengers or crew.<br />

HAND LUGGAGE<br />

One small piece of hand luggage is allowed per person, providing<br />

its weight is less than 10kg and it is no larger than 50cm x 38cm x<br />

26cm including wheels and handles. Any piece of baggage that does<br />

not meet these requirements will be placed in the hold and the<br />

relevant fee will be charged. Any other excess hand luggage will<br />

be placed in the hold. Light or soft articles should be stowed in the<br />

overhead luggage compartments, heavier items under seats. Items<br />

lying loose on empty seats or obstructing the aisles or emergency<br />

exits are dangerous and you will be asked to remove them.<br />

ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT<br />

Once the aircraft is at cruising altitude and the captain has<br />

turned off the “Fasten Seat Belt” sign, you are free to use<br />

laptops, CD players, MP3 players, computer games and most<br />

other electronic items. The use of electronic equipment of<br />

any kind is not permitted during taxi, take-off and landing.<br />

COMFORT<br />

Changes in the cabin air pressure may cause some slight<br />

discomfort in your ears. You can relieve this by swallowing<br />

hard, yawning or holding your nose while gently breathing<br />

out with your mouth closed. Flying also causes your body to<br />

dehydrate so you are advised to have something to drink that is<br />

not alcoholic. For your further comfort, please also refer to the<br />

recommended exercises on the opposite page of this magazine.<br />

IN-FLIGHT SERVICE<br />

On your fl ight we will be offering you a comprehensive choice<br />

of hot and cold drinks as well as a selection of delicious snacks,<br />

including sandwiches and confectionery. Full details of our<br />

onboard products can be found at the back of this magazine.<br />

We kindly ask all passengers to help keep the aircraft<br />

tidy by not placing rubbish in the seat pockets or on the<br />

fl oor. Our cabin crew will be collecting rubbish throughout<br />

the fl ight, so please help them to keep the aircraft tidy.


Stretch Onboard<br />

Short fl ights to continental European destinations are less likely<br />

to lead to a risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) than long-haul<br />

fl ights. Nevertheless, it’s good to stretch out. It’s not easy to<br />

walk around onboard, so for your own comfort and relaxation,<br />

why not try some of these seated exercises?<br />

KNEE RAISE<br />

With your hands clasped<br />

together, pull your left<br />

knee up as close as<br />

possible to your chest<br />

1<br />

Remember that extreme<br />

dehydration can increase the<br />

risk of DVT, so drink plenty of<br />

water and minimise your alcohol, tea and<br />

coffee consumption during the fl ight.<br />

and hold for a count of<br />

eight, then return to a sitting<br />

position. Relax. Do the same<br />

with your right knee. Then<br />

FEET<br />

A Flex your foot at the ankle and<br />

stretch out as far as you can.<br />

Bend your toes forward and<br />

back. Slowly rotate your foot<br />

using a circular motion clockwise,<br />

then counter-clockwise. Relax.<br />

Repeat with the right foot.<br />

B With your feet on the tips<br />

with both knees. Repeat<br />

four times. Relax. Bend<br />

forward and gently massage<br />

both calf muscles.<br />

of your toes, raise and lower<br />

your legs. Relax. Repeat<br />

several times.<br />

C Clench and unclench your<br />

toes. Relax. Repeat several<br />

times.<br />

D Stretch your toes. Relax.<br />

Repeat several times.<br />

THREE THINGS TO BEAR IN MIND ON YOUR TRAVEL<br />

2<br />

You will arrive at your destination<br />

feeling much better if you sit<br />

correctly, with your weight<br />

balanced evenly on both buttocks and<br />

without crossing your legs.<br />

SAFETY ONBOARD<br />

RESPONSIBLE FLYING WITH JET2.COM<br />

ANKLE ROTATION<br />

With your feet slightly raised<br />

off the fl oor, rotate your ankles<br />

10 times towards each other<br />

and then 10 times away from<br />

each other.<br />

SHOULDER LOOSENER<br />

Hunch your shoulders together,<br />

drop, repeat. Rotate your<br />

shoulders one at a time with<br />

a gentle circular motion, fi rst<br />

forwards, then backwards.<br />

HEAD AND SHOULDERS<br />

Sitting well back in your seat,<br />

in a comfortable position with<br />

your back and shoulders well<br />

supported, turn your head to the<br />

right as far as you can, then slowly<br />

raise and lower your chin three<br />

times. Relax. Repeat, turning your<br />

head to the left this time. Repeat.<br />

SHOULDER STRETCH<br />

Grasp your left shoulder with<br />

your right hand, then place your<br />

left hand behind your right elbow.<br />

Gently press your elbow toward<br />

your shoulder. Hold the stretch<br />

for 15 seconds and repeat on the<br />

other side.<br />

3<br />

Try deep-breathing exercises to relax. Sit back<br />

in your seat in a comfortable position, close<br />

your eyes and take a deep breath. Hold<br />

it for a while, then exhale and say the word “relax”.<br />

Repeat four or fi ve times.<br />
