If you are planning a visit to the Taj Mahal in India and you are an information freak like me, you will read every Taj Mahal travel blog you can get your hands on.
Because you like to be prepared.
Or at least your husband does.
But unfortunately, every Taj Mahal blog or guide that you find seems to be filled with heaps of negative stuff. Giving you warnings about how your trip to this world wonder may be a traumatic experience and leave you mentally scarred forever.

Taking the best train journey in Sri Lanka, seeing Elephants up close and climbing Adam’s Peak – trekking along the sides of temperate rain forests (this was one of the many things to do in Ella that I never actually thought I’d do!)
But these things aside, there were other things about this unique travel destination, Sri Lanka that surprised me.

When you arrive in Ft Lauderdale and you look out from your airconditioned hotel room window and see the aqua water twinkling in the sunshine, playing host to a range of water vehicles, you know.
You know you have to get out there and play.
And the Ft Lauderdale, Florida water taxi will be your affordable host for the day!
