the final word<br />
the quirky side of travel<br />
The rich snow no bounds<br />
Ski Independence has lifted the lid on<br />
luxury skiing, revealing how the rich<br />
and famous can spend £56,000 on the<br />
slopes in just seven days at Courchevel<br />
1850 - the favoured destination for David<br />
and Victoria Beckham and the Duke and<br />
Duchess of Cambridge.<br />
A sample holiday itinerary includes: A<br />
£25,000 seven-night stay at the five-star<br />
Hotel L’Apogée, caviar facials at the inhotel<br />
spa and a £12,000 shopping spree.<br />
There's also an adrenaline-inducing<br />
activities package including helicopter<br />
trips and sledding, worth over £12,000,<br />
on-demand limousine services and<br />
helicopter taxis. Guests don’t have to lift<br />
a finger, and hotel staff even offer to help<br />
place their ski boots on.<br />

Tap happy<br />
<strong>Travel</strong> booking site Globehunters has<br />
revealed a list of countries where you<br />
can’t drink tap water and it's not short -<br />
there are 187! You'll need to go bottled<br />
everywhere in Africa, Asia - except Japan<br />
and South Korea - and Latin America -<br />
bar Chile and Costa Rica. Surprising bad<br />
water spots are Cyprus, the Maldives<br />
and Fiji - but that pricy Fiji Water is ok!<br />

Champagne is so 2018<br />
Who needs Europe anyway? Well...<br />
at least we don't need to rely on<br />
Champagne to christen our ships!<br />
Saga's new vessel Spirit of Discovery<br />
is to be christened with a Jeroboam<br />
(four bottles in one) of its very ownlabel<br />
English sparkling wine instead of<br />
the usual French sparkling stuff, at her<br />
christening in the Port of Dover on July<br />
5 this year. It will also be served on<br />
board the ship. saga.co.uk<br />
