JOIN HURTIGRUTEN - IN SEARCH OF THE NORTHERN LIGHTS

Since human kind first experienced the natural phenomenon of the Aurora Borealis, we have been spellbound by their extraordinary beauty as they shimmer against the inky backdrop of a starry night sky. These celestial displays of greens, yellows and reds that dance like a sheet blowing in the wind have, over time, inspired artists and poets, aroused myths and legends.

There is no better way to experience the Northern Lights than by sailing through the sheltered coastal waters, on board a ship from the Hurtigruten fleet with the Aurora Borealis set against a dark sky, free from artificial light. As we sail through the Arctic twilight, we become one with the peaceful atmosphere that descends us. Clusters of houses glow like embers along the coast, small towns become cosy refuges as we pull into harbour to welcome new passengers on board, and the backdrop of snow-clad mountains reflect the polar light to bathe us in eerie shades.

Nature offers some of the greatest opportunities to see wildlife along Norwegian shores, and there is an exciting range of winter activities available, both on land and on board our ships. Opportunities include spotting animated pods of Orca, snuggling up warm in an ice hotel, being led by huskies on an unforgettable dog-sledge safari, snowmobiling across frozen lands, or venturing through ice caves in the realm of the polar bear.

Voyage with us to the heart of Arctic Norway, on a selection of short breaks and adventures that offer a true winter experience in search of the mystical Northern Lights. Call Select World Travel on 01684 577007 or e-mail enquiries@selectworldtravel for more details

SELECT WORLD TRAVEL AND TAPESTRY 91

About Tapestry 91
When Nick Wrightman first conceived Tapestry Holidays, back in 1991, his plan was a simple one, "My mother is my fiercest critic, so I thought if I could arrange holidays that my mother would love, everyone else would love them too." Still the owner and Managing Director, Nick certainly succeeded in his aim (and his mother still loves Tapestry's holidays). Over the past 15 years Tapestry has gained an untouchable reputation as a specialist tour operator offering holidays to Turkey, Greece and Croatia, with small tailor made programmes to Morocco and Oman. Regularly appearing at the top of national surveys for guest satisfaction - including an unprecedented three years voted Best Tour Operator in the Telegraph Travel Awards - Nick and the rest of the Tapestry Team are all extremely proud that their holidays are so well liked.Select World Travel are proud to be one of Tapestry Holidays best selling Travel Agents

The aim with Tapestry91 is to take the initial concept that has proved so successful and update it for today's travel environment - after all, a lot has changed since Tapestry started! Taking the best of the existing tailor made programmes, with a few well-researched additions, Tapestry91 puts the emphasis on personal service, combined with the knowledge and experience gained over the past fifteen years as one of the UK's premier tour operators.

Tapestry91's portfolio covers exclusive, sophisticated, off-the-beaten track and unusual locations in Crete, Athens, Oman, Morocco, Dubrovnik, Istanbul, Cappadocia and Star Clipper Cruises. We feature hotels and villas in picturesque, unspoilt or chic locations, together with city breaks, guided tours and bespoke, tailor made holidays.

Much care and attention is given not just to the choice of destinations, but to the individual properties too. Luxurious, prestigious or quirky; our properties are hand picked with the greatest of care to ensure our guests experience only the very best. No matter what is desired - a designer villa with stunning views and five star service, a traditional sailing ship, a boutique hotel next to Istanbul's historic sites, or a six-star luxury hotel on a white sand Indian Ocean Beach with every whim catered for - you may be assured that Tapestry91's holidays are the perfect choice for the more discerning traveller.

TROPICAL DEPRESSION MARKS THE START OF THE PACIFIC HURRICANE SEASON

Tropical Depression One-E forms south-southwest of the Mexican port of Acapulco, marking the first storm of the 2006 Pacific hurricane season.

The 2006 Pacific hurricane season is an ongoing event in the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation. It officially began May 15, 2006 in the eastern Pacific, designated as the area east of 140°W, and will begin on June 1, 2006 in the central Pacific, which is between the International Date Line and 140°W. The season will last until November 30, 2006.

2006 storm names
The following names will be used for named storms that form in the northeast Pacific in 2006. This is the same list that was used in the 2000 season. Storms that form in the central Pacific are given names from a sequential list; if any are used, they will be mentioned separately.

The 2006 Atlantic hurricane season will be an ongoing event in the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation. It will officially start June 1, 2006, and last until November 30, 2006. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic basin. However, should a system form and receive a number from the NHC before then, it will count as part of the 2006 season.

2006 storm names
The following names will be used for named storms that form in the North Atlantic in 2006. The names not retired from this list will be used again in the 2012 season. The list is the same as the 2000 season's list except for Kirk, which replaced Keith. Names that have not been assigned are marked in gray.

Pre-season forecasts
On December 5, 2005, Dr. Gray's team issued its first extended-range forecast for the 2006 season, predicting a well above-average season (17 named storms, 9 hurricanes, 5 of Category 3 or higher).[1]

Similar to the 2005 season, the team predicted a high potential for at least one major hurricane to directly impact the United States: the forecast indicates an 81% chance of at least one major hurricane striking the U.S. mainland (including a 64% chance of at least one major hurricane strike on the East Coast of the United States including the Florida peninsula, and a 47% chance of at least one major hurricane strike on the Gulf Coast of the United States from the Florida Panhandle westward). In addition, the potential for major hurricane activity in the Caribbean was above average. A few months later, on April 4, 2006, Dr. Gray issued another forecast that reaffirmed the forecast previously made in December.[4]

On May 22, 2006, NOAA released their forecasts for the 2006 season. They predict 13 to 16 named storms, with 8 to 10 becoming hurricanes, and 4 to 6 becoming major hurricanes.

Kommeno Apartments – Kommeno - Corfu

Perched on a hilltop, these traditional apartments climb to the top in groups of two and three.

They are a good size and have whitewashed walls, small kitchenette, simple shower/WC and balcony or terrace with sea view. While the apartments provide pleasant holiday accommodation, what makes the Kommeno so appealing are the large pool and bar at the crown of the hill.

The views are exceptional, over Corfu Town and the marina, to mainland Greece and Albania. To one side of the pool there is an enclosed bar (great for poor weather, or as an escape from the hot weather) with an outside terrace, with the best views of all. The pool area is private to Kommeno guests during the day, but open to visitors after 6pm, creating a pleasant evening atmosphere.

The closest taverna is a short walk down the hill (about 300 metres) with a mini-market a twenty minute walk away. The local beach is about ten minutes’ walk away and provides a pleasant alternative to the Kommeno’s lovely pool. When somewhere busier appeals, Corfu Town is only twelve kilometres.

Kommeno has a gorgeous setting that is bound to impress.
