WELCOME!
A number of you have asked that we introduce a "Travel
Section" for the gay traveller. So this section is yours! If you have visited anywhere listed, let us know your
comments and they will be published. An establishment might not be
listed - so let us know the details!
No travel section would be complete without photographs.
So pages in this section do have photos. But we keep them small so you
won't be waiting ages for downloads!
Please email
any additions, suggestions, reviews, corrections etc.
