In my ongoing quest to make this the best newsletter you'll ever have the honour to receive, I've changed the format of this section a bit.

Each month while doing "internet research" (if my boss sees this -- it's work related, honest), I get told about the most popular and visited travel websites of the moment, and I'm going to share them with you...

What time is it around the world?
Do you find yourself frantically trying to work out what time it is in Tashkent or Vladivostok? Be frantic no more and use this rather nice little website instead:

Which are the best seats on the plane?
Is it just me, or are plane seats getting smaller? And what makes it worse, as you're packed in with your knees up round your ears, one seat in front will be a (noisy) four foot child by the emergency door with double leg room. Well, get the inside knowledge on the best seats to book using this website:

The World's Most Dangerous Road
I have first-hand experience of this road in Bolivia as I've mountain biked down it and come back up it on a bus -- I can honestly say, hand on heart, it was one of the scariest experiences I've ever had (aside from have a gun pointed at me by Mexican police -- but that's a different story). Note: the pictures 1 to 10 are actually in China, so you can ignore them (but they're still scary):

The World's Most Unusual Hotels
When you're a global adventurer, such as we are, normal hotels hold no excitement anymore. We're constantly looking to push the boundaries and experience the new. So, if balancing on top of a pole like an Indian holy man, or staying in bat cave are more your idea of a great hotel, check out this website! (Note: I made those examples up -- in fact, the website might seem a little tame now):
