It’s a Ball at<br />

Europa Park<br />

Germany’s largest theme resort, a former military<br />

base, is still going strong after 92 years of thrills<br />

and intends to double its size.<br />

Past celebrity visitors include Pricilla Presley,<br />

Boris Becker, Vanessa Mae, Helmut Kohl and even<br />

Sir Cliff Richard. Soon the England 2006 World Cup<br />

Squad will be following them as they have booked<br />

a day for the players to escape from footie<br />

pressures and unwind.<br />

One attraction that may grab their attention is a<br />

roller coaster built inside a 43 metre high, 16,000<br />

Savvy Travellers Choose<br />

Long Haul<br />

During the summer holidays savvy travellers will be looking for a<br />

way to make their holiday cash stretch a little further. According to<br />

The Royal Bank of Scotland, travelling long haul this year may just<br />

be the answer. Holidaymakers to Europe will see that the Pound has<br />

weakened against the Euro over the last 12 months. Instead,<br />

travellers hoping to make their travel money stretch further, may<br />

wish to broaden their horizons and head to more exotic destinations.<br />

Douglas Gowan, Head of Travel Money for The Royal Bank of<br />

Scotland comments: “During the last 12 months, fluctuations in<br />

exchange rates mean that some preferred holiday destinations no<br />

longer offer the value for money they once did. However, whilst<br />

some rates have fallen, many long haul destinations continue to offer<br />

great or improved value for money and travelling further afield may<br />

prove more cost effective for your holiday spending.”<br />
