Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

In your 48 hours guide to Valletta, you mention the Maltese Information Office in the Auberge d'Italie for help. Please don't bother. We went there hoping for assistance when we visited in March. Not only were we ignored while the two staff chatted, we were then dismissed with a generic map we already had. Research Valletta yourselves!

Mid-century mirage in Palm Springs
Palm Springs is great and well worth a visit. It is sleepy and there isn't much going on, but it has charm and the architecture is wonderful.

Walk of the month: Outer Hebrides
In the late 1980s, Rhenigidale had a single phone. The line was powered by batteries, with a notice giving strict instructions to keep calls short to avoid running the batteries down. Wonderfully remote.

48 hours in Copenhagen
"Almost at the easternmost point of Denmark"? Copenhagen is around 100 miles to the west of the easternmost point of Denmark (the Baltic archipelago of Ertholmene). Perhaps the author considers Leicester to be "almost at the easternmost point" of the UK?

Center Parcs comes to Woburn Forest
Nowhere near as good as Forest Holidays, which is way less commercial – just simple luxury cabins with hot tubs in the woods.

Excursion advice for Med cruises
We have also cruised extensively in the Mediterranean and agree that the excursions can add quite a lot to the cost of the holiday. We have taken to doing it ourselves wherever possible and have created a website to help other cruisers know how to visit the main attractions at Mediterranean ports.
