CASTLE ROMANCE
Dromoland Castle, Newmarket-On-Fergus, County Clare, Ireland
One of the most famous baronial castles in Ireland, Dromoland is located on 365 acres of its own estate. A 16th century castle with 21st Century values, it is taking key steps to reduce its carbon footprint. Electricity is sourced from a supplier that has an environmental impact of 488.10g of CO2 emissions per kWh, this is 12% lower than the average for Ireland of 549.1g per kWh. Energy efficient lighting is used throughout the castle, equating to a saving of 44 tonnes of CO2 emissions. The hotel is replacing all of its refrigeration units in the
main castle kitchen with highly insulated units. And a wood chip burner has been installed to reduce the amount of oil used for heating and hot water. The use of carbon neutral woodchip instead of oil will reduce their carbon footprint by approximately 500 tones per annum.
Enjoy two nights accommodation in a Deluxe Bedroom with full Irish breakfast on both mornings including dinner for two on one evening of your choice in the Earl of Thomond Restaurant.
Price: £715 per room, per night.

HONEYMOON Hot in Chile 12352 views
For adventure-seekers, a honeymoon in Chile could be just the ticket. Combine the dry and dramatic experience of the Atacama Desert with spectacular skiing terrain and the World Snowboarding Championships at Valle Nevado on this unique itinerary from luxury adventure travel company Excedo.
‘Extreme Chile’ is a thrilling tour, experiencing the stunning landscapes and diversity of a land of contrasts first hand. Designed for those who enjoy adventure but insist on sleeping in style - well it is your honeymoon.
On arrival, guests check in to the exquisitely-appointed Ritz Carlton in Santiago and are immediately indulged with a luxury ‘Bath Menu’ and a mouth-watering meal at the restaurant which boasts a cellar of over a thousand Chilean wines. It’s then on to the fabulous new
desert hotel and spa, Alto Atacama, for four nights of luxurious living whilst exploring the awe-inspiring Atacama Desert with its endless sands, magnificent dunes, salt basins and volcanoes. Climb around the Valley of the Moon but stand well back from El Tatio Geysers, ride horseback across the arid landscapes whilst admiring the bright pink flamingos flying over the salt lakes. The Atacama is one of the most remote places on earth but also the most fascinating. 
Leaving the hot desert and scorching temperatures behind, its time to travel from north to south, dust off the skis and hit the slopes as four nights at the beautiful Chilean resort of Valle Nevado await. The largest ski resort in the southern hemisphere, Valle Nevado offers first class runs and ideal conditions as standard hence why this is the chosen destination for the annual Snowboarding World Cup.
Excedo’s unique itinerary also includes wine tasting at the exclusive Clos Apalta Lodge in the Colchagua Valley and concludes with some time out in Valparaiso (aka the Venice of South America).
Go there: Excedo’s 14-day ‘Extreme Chile’ tour departs on 15 September 2008 and costs £4,100 per person. It includes accommodation on a bed and breakfast basis, return flights from Heathrow to Santiago with Iberia and all internal flights, on the ground transfers and tours as detailed in the itinerary.
