Portland Dorset UK

My first trip as a technical inspector.

January 2008

The vessel I was going to visit was alongside at Portland (Dorset) United Kingdom.
I took the plane to London (Heathrow) and I pre ordered a taxi from Portland.
It is much cheaper and more comfortable. London Taxi takes around 400-450 pound, and the pre ordered Taxi from portland costed me 160 pound.
I used Nicky's Taxis at: nickystonetaxi@yahoo.ca.com
Also the London Taxi is not the most comfortable cars in the world, but Nicky's Taxi had normal comfortable cars, and that is what you want for a 2-3 hour car trip.

I was thinking to go to a hotel called Highland Hotel, but after asking in the Taxi, he recomended Hotel Rembrandt in the middle of centrum.
It was a positive experience. The hotel lobby was maybe not the best, but the rooms and the atmosphere was just great. With free internett (WiFi), and on the hotel it was also a big swimming pool, for the guests to use for fre, and a great gym and health club.
It was a lot of locals using the pool/gym, so it was always someone there.
I highly recomend this Hotel for business travelers, both for the location, and the accomodation.

When my job was done, I took the same Taxi back to London, and flew back home.
