When you buy a house, it's safe to assume you'd like a look round the neighbourhood before you make your purchase. So why not follow the same principle when it comes to booking your stag or hen weekend? Whether it's Brighton, Bratislava or Barcelona that's currently getting the nod, let the jaw-droppingly impressive Google Earth show you precisely what's what. As well as what's where.
Surprise yourself by discovering just how close Tallinn is to the beach, follow a stretch Limo from Las Vegas airport all the way down the main strip or simply measure the distance between Edinburgh's train station and your hotel - it's all at your disposal and takes only a few simple clicks to download.... Plus, my cost-conscious stag & hen organisers, it's TOTALLY FREE.
For a chance to wander round the globe looking up the noses of Egyptian camels, plotting your next assault on the north face of the Eiger or spying on courting couples in the backs of German cars, sample the best interactive facility since the Atari by clicking the following link:
Be warned, however - Google Earth is utterly addictive, removing all doubts on exactly where places like Vilnius, Benalmadena and Wroclaw are whilst satisfying those harmless Peeping Tom/Pam urges from a safe satellite distance!
The world just got smaller with the aid of Last Night Of Freedom and Google Earth.
Honestly, what will they think of next?
