Norfolk is the beautiful county which is home to King’s Lynn, once named Bishops Lynn until Henry VIII renamed it for himself. Lynn is a word from medieval English, and it is used to describe a tidal pool, which is the Oust at Kings Lynn, so this is actually both a port and a market town.

Religion played a large role in populating towns in medieval times and this is the case with Kings Lynn which once belonged to the Bishop De Losinga. An abbey was erected by Benedictine Monks and the town grew around this from 1095. This bishop also bestowed market rights on the town and the annual fair is still held today, starting on St. Valentines Day. Weekly markets are also still a feature of Kings Lynn.

Hip Hotels, Nice PriceMit seinen quadratischen, attraktiven Fotobildbänden über außergewöhnliche Designhotels hat sich Herbert Ypma in kurzer Zeit einen Namen gemacht. Jetzt ist unter dem erfolgreichen Hip-Hotel-Label ein vierter Band erschienen, der besonders ansprechende und darüber hinaus sogar erschwingliche Hotels vorstellt. Hip Hotels. Nice Price nennt sich das schöne Werk, das all jenen eine Freude sein dürfte, die durchaus nicht unübliche Preise von 600 Mark und mehr pro Nacht einfach zu viel des Guten finden.

Schön schlafen: ja -- aber warum muss das immer so teuer sein? Muss es eben nicht, behauptet Ypma und tritt sogleich den Beweis an. Eine Kasbah in der Sahara, eine alte Schwammfabrik auf einer griechischen Insel, ein Pub im australischen Busch, ein Mogulgarten im indischen Rajasthan, ein Kraftwerk in Hamburg oder liebevoll restaurierte Holzhütten in Norwegen -- viel häufiger als erwartet prägen ambitionierte Hotelbesitzer eine einzigartige Atmosphäre, die Kultur und Gastfreundschaft zu einem Ambiente der ganz besonderen Art vereint. Außergewöhnlicher Stil muss eben doch nicht zwingend mit überhöhten Preisen einhergehen.

Mehr als 500 farbenfrohe, ästhetische Fotos wecken die Sehnsucht nach fremden Ländern, knisternden Laken, tiefblauen Swimming-Pools und verschwiegenen Häusern, die Wärme und Zuneigung ausströmen. In den Begleittexten werden Geschichten erzählt, die so bunt und vielfältig sind wie die Besitzer der edlen Herbergen. Wie schön, dass man das Entdecken dieser Hoteljuwelen ab sofort nicht mehr dem Zufall überlassen muss. Ein Buch zum Träumen und Pläneschmieden! --Dorothea Fröhlich

The coastal city of Swansea Neath – Port Talbot, Wales (in actuality, Swansea refers also to the county, and Neath Port Talbot is more properly a county borough) is part of the historic Vale of Glamorgan. It has a current population — when all areas considered part of Swansea are added in — of around 271,000 people, though most would say that it actually has 171,000 or so in its urban area.

It is easy to become somewhat confused about what is and isn’t Swansea, Swansea Neath or Swansea, Neath Port Talbot and just what area is sitting in what Welsh county, county borough or wider urban area within a unitary authority in Wales. What’s not so hard, though, is to appreciate the area for all that it offers in terms of tourist and sightseeing opportunities.
