GET ON BOARD
Gibraltar’s first five-star accommodation
opens for business this month. Except,
technically, it’s not on dry land… The
gigantic, seven story, floating superyacht
from Sunborn Gibraltar will be permanently
moored in the Ocean Village Marina. Costing a whopping £130
million (€158m) to build, this super-slick boat comes with all manner
of extravagances, including, we imagine, sea views as standard.

QUAFF WITH CAUTION
Oktoberfest is so last season (literally).
Our springtime boozefest of choice is
its lesser-known, but far more potent
brother, Starkbierzeit – ‘strong beer fest’
– where brewers showcase only their
most lethal grog (minimum 7.5%).
Prost!
