What's new

I have a couple of interesting new clients. Five Star Greece offers exclusive villa rentals in Greece - so exclusive, in fact, that they aren't actually featured on the public-facing website. You need to get an invite. A bit of a challenge for SEO, then!

The other is Selective Asia, which specialises in Vietnam trips and luxury tours of Cambodia. It's got a great looking website, but it needs to be a bit more competitive against some well-funded players. Looking forward to that one.

Cruise offer

eWaterways has some great river cruise deals, but it also sells coastal cruises, expedition cruises and themed cruises. Even naturist cruises. In fact, if you can do it on a small boat, then eWaterways can probably find it for you. This cruise on a Turkish gulet is a particularly good deal.

Have I been had?

I hate April Fools Day. Half the stories in the media are barely believable any day of the year. Now we have to wade through a load of utter bollocks posing as humour. But here's a curious one. Darren Cronian of Travel Rants announced on Twitter: "For the record the Daily Mail has acquired Travel Rants".

What?! This would of course be ridiculous except that Darren had previously said his highly-respected blog was up for sale. And he didn't reply to numerous Tweets asking if it was a joke. Could he have been using April Fools Day to bury some good / bad news?
