Visiting Edinburgh In Festival Season

(Tue Jul 13th, 2010, by Isla Campbell)

The Edinburgh International Festival, and other associated festivals taking place each August covering the entire spectrum of the arts, is a major draw for cultural tourists to Scotland's capital. With thousands of shows taking place throughout the day and night at venues across the city, Edinburgh becomes a haven for theatre, comedy and music lovers in the month of August - making it an ideal time to stop putting off trips to the city and experience the best Edinburgh has to offer beyond the Fringe. The capital of Scotland since 1437, Edinburgh is home to many of the country's most prestigious attractions - from historic Edinburgh Castle, which is still Scotland's most visited tourist destination, to modern attractions such as Our Dynamic Earth and Deep Sea World that aim to provide an insightful and entertaining experience for all the family. Many of Edinburgh's top attractions can be easily reached within the city centre, making sightseeing holidays a convenient option. Those visiting for the Edinburgh Festival can also find many of the largest dedicated venues within easy reach of these attractions, from the Assembly Rooms on centrally-located George Street to the Festival Theatre along the Bridges. Popular events such as the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo are hallmarks of the festival season, bringing performance styles from across the world into special events taking place right next to Edinburgh Castle. Those visiting at the climax of the festival can also see the sky come to life with dazzling fireworks displays, which can be the perfect send-off for Edinburgh flight. While it's true that the festival spirit takes over the city for the month of August, that doesn't mean it isn't business as usual for Edinburgh's popular year-round offerings. As a major international city, visitors can expect to find all manner of restaurants wherever they are staying in the city, as well as numerous shopping opportunities along Princes Street and in the St James Quarter. Hotel bookings are usually much more competitive during the month, however visitors should still find plenty of choice when looking for rooms suited to their budgets. Those who prefer a quieter and more reflective experience away from the vibrant street performances and crowds of the Royal Mile can also take a short trip out of the city centre to explore the 70 acres of Edinburgh's Botanic Gardens, a perfect way to enjoy the British summertime in one of the UK's greenest cities.

(Tue Jul 13th, 2010, by Karen Thompson)

Kingston is the capital and cosmopolitan centre of not just Jamaica but the whole of Caribbean. The city, over the years has withstood disasters such as earthquakes, epidemics and fires and like the phoenix has risen from the ashes lively, vibrant and stronger than ever. It was here in Kingston that pirates once ran wild; however today it is arts and culture that reign supreme.

There is much that you can do and see in Kingston. To deviate a bit from the topic, it is also worth a mention that if you are visiting the island you can make all the difference to your trip by staying in jamica villas and cottages, ideally located in garden settings near the Caribbean Sea and offering you your own home away from home on the island.

Coming back to the activities you can do on the island, here are some options you can consider. You can start by visiting Hope Road and going by the number of attractions here, it could well be called Attractions Road.

If you are travelling with kids and want to indulge in some activities that are meant for adults, you could do well by staying in Jamaica villas and cottages that specifically cater to families. Take the case of Silver sand villas, a secure community of villas and cottages located on the beautiful north coast. The villas encompass a private beach and offer amongst others childcare facilities. Also, if you wish to relax and remain indoors there are enough amenities to keep you occupied.

Goulburn is a great base to explore the Southern Highlands of Australia

(Wed Jul 14th, 2010, by Sidney Morgan)

Goulburn was founded in the early 1800's and soon became Australia's first settled city. Now with a population of 24,000 it is one of the largest cities also. Goulburn serves as the hub for the local agriculture.

The Hume Highway which connects Sydney with Canberra and Melbourne serves as the access point to Goulburn also. If you choose to drive from Sydney you travel time will be approximately two and a half hours. From Canberra it is about an hour.

Goulburn was the southern most stop for the railway for approximately six years in the 1800's. Now however the railway continues further south, you will find though that it still operates today and is a viable way of travel through the Southern Highlands of Australia.

If this is the mode of transportation you choose make your reservations in advance to ensure space.

Located in the bottom of a valley the climate is much different than other cities in the area. The wind conditions can cause it to become quite chilly so dress in layers. The local temperature in the summer is anywhere from 10-40 degrees C (50-104F) and -5 -18 degrees C (23-64F) in the winter.

The concrete structure known as the Big merino stands 15m (49ft) tall and represents the towns dedication to local farming. The Big Merino is home to a gift shop and lookout point, however, the lookout is currently closed for safety reasons. Why the observance to the sheep? Merino is the most common breed in Australia.

Australia is home to many blues musicians, some of which are honored by a sculpture display outside of the information centre. Other sites which you may want to include in your itinerary are St. Saviours' Cathedral, antique shopping, the Goulburn Court House and the historic Waterworks Museum.

Two of the highlight events are the Australian Blues Music Festival, held in mid February and Lilac Festival which is hosted in early October. Both of these festivals offer a variety of activities. The Lilac Festival will offer parades, markets and floral displays.

Step out away from town a little and head to Morton National Park. This park offers breathtaking walking trails and a chance to get away from the busy city streets. If you are feeling a little more adventurous make your way to Wombeyan Caves. Although these caves can be accessed with a two wheel drive, the trek will be a little more bumpy as the roads are not quality. Choosing to brave the roads will not disappoint you as the caves present amazing photographic opportunities.

Goulburn brewery will allow you to chance to purchase some of the local beer while you see some of Goulburns fascinating architecture.

Italian holidays for everyone

(Wed Jul 14th, 2010, by Ron Jackson)

The warm culture of Italy has something to offer everyone but with so much to choose from it can be hard to know where to start. Read on for some great ideas of where to go and what to get out of this beautiful European destination no matter what time of year you decide to go.

Singles looking for adventure will be spoilt for choice when it comes to exploring Italy, with its choice of lively city breaks, historical tours and unspoilt beaches. Take an escorted holiday to three or four typical Italian cities and be guided to the best spots before being left to explore uninterrupted; you never know, you might even find love in Venice, Lake Garda or underneath Juliet's balcony in Verona.

Newlyweds will be looking for time away from the crowds so look for those holidays that are tailored specifically to honeymooners. If you can, avoid the big cities during August which can come to a standstill as Italian folk shut up shop and head for sun, sea and sand with the extended family. Instead head for the Amalfi coast, Sorrento or the gorgeous island of Sardinia where if you do your research and book with a reputable holiday company, you'll be able to find a little corner of paradise to yourselves.

Couples looking for an Italian break with a mixture of guided tours to the most unspoilt of sceneries and time by themselves to explore the Italian lakes, mountains and exquisite food should look into Capri, the Amalfi Coast and Pompeii. All three have fascinating histories and architecture for those who are interested and simply stunning crystal clear waters, coastlines and charming restaurants for those who just want to unwind and relax, bathed in Mediterranean warmth and Italian charisma.

Families with young children will not be short of things to do in Italy, especially during the school holidays but book early to avoid the high prices and consider Lake Garda as your destination. Lake Garda has risen in popularity over the last few years mainly because it has it all, from great weather and fresh authentic food all year round to endless outdoor activities from cycling and windsurfing to hiking and kayaking. You'll have as much fun kicking back in the café culture as you will do trying out a new activity with the kids.

Culture vultures will enjoy the rich history of a classic tour of Italy, taking in the ancient architecture of Rome, the incredible story behind the city of Pompeii and the religious turmoil experienced in Cassini and Assisi. History will be brought to life by experienced and knowledgeable guides who instead of boring you with endless facts will set battle scenes, paint classic masterpieces and leave you to explore rugged coastlines and lush greenery at your own pace.

(Wed Jul 14th, 2010, by Linden Gray)

Looking to explore through the incredible culture of Mexico? Nothing can beat the cultural city of Toluca. Canadian wanderers interested in knowing the culture of the city never miss out on visiting the fascinating museums. You must be surprised to know that it is the second city in the whole of Mexico, if you consider the number of historical sites and museums. Architecture in the city is another thing that creates point of interest in the travelers visiting Toluca. While driving through beautiful alleys of the city, you will come across spectacular buildings featuring neoclassical architecture. While exploring through the city, you would find that Toluca is one of the best cities to stroll around and enjoy the vacation of your life in discos, bars, recreational areas, markets, hotels and museums.

According to the Mexican travel experts, you should not rely on your US or Canadian auto policies. Why? Mexican authorities do not honor foreign policies and you should have quality Maxico car insurance to get rid of any issues in which you can be detained if you get into an auto accident. Buying Maxico auto insurance at the border costs extra, and many insurers are not rated and do not provide the broadest coverage.

The city of Toluca is home to several national parks. One of the most famous and easily accessible parks is Sierra Morelos Park, which is located just four kilometers towards the northwest of the city. Canadian wanderers visit the park especially to spend a day in the richness of eucalyptus forest and pine trees. The park also features outdoor grills, rustic kiosks and tables placed by the lagoon where you can enjoy delicious meal while having fun with camping in the forest. Bosencheve National Park is another notable national park located in the outskirts of the city and acts as the most important water basins for Toluca. If you love hiking, this is the place you should never compromise on. The natural beauty is worth exploring while walking by the lagoon in the forest.

Museums are the backbone of the attractions in the city of Toluca. If you are interested in exploring through arts, you should visit Fine Art Museum and explore through paintings and sculptures that carry a great importance for the history and culture of the city. Other museums that are known for their paintings exhibitions are the Jose Maria Velasco and Felipe Gutierrez museums. History and Anthropology Museum is among the top choices of Canadian history lovers as the museums showcases an incredible collection of more than 7000 pieces.

The Exquisite Experience Of Bundaberg, Australia

(Wed Jul 14th, 2010, by Sidney Morgan)

Found on the banks of the Burnett River, Bundaberg city provides a lot of things to do for both tourists and its local people. Situated in Queensland and just 239 miles away from Brisbane, the city lies around 9.3 miles inland from the coastline. Mostly known as Bundy to the locals, the city is perhaps best known for exquisite beaches and oceanfront hotels and resorts.

This city has also been famous because of tourist spots like the Mon Repos Turtle Rookery and the Bundaberg Rum Distillery. Head over to the beaches, free from stingers, or maybe take a trip to the Bundaberg Barrel. Of course, who can every forget about the Great Barrier Reef? If you love driving around, you can also grab your 4WD and explore the eight National Parks.

Bundy, as the locals may call it, is found in the central part of the Wide Bay-Burnett. The combination of its name is said to originate from the Kabi Original term for 'important man' and the German term for 'mountain.' The city is also known as the Gateway to the Great Barrier Reef, since it is located in the southern part of the reef. It is also quite near to two important islands: Lady Elliot and Lady Musgrave.

Don't be surprised if you see flying foxes around the day fanning throughout the city - they are simply looking for food. They live in the northern part of the river Burnett, around the bridges of Don Talon and Burnett. They leave at dusk, and they search during the day.

Tourists also find the Mystery Craters quite interesting, as these holes are said to be unknowingly and mysteriously filled with water. But of course, nothing beats the city's reputation for its beaches. The golden beach of Moore Park spans 20 kilometers, offering lots of places to bathe and sunbathe. As always, there are also other beaches all throughout the city, such as the Kellys Beach which gets filled up during the summer months.

Classified to have subtropical climate, the city has gentle winters and hot summers. The yearly rainfall is around 1141 millimeters. Typically, its beaches are its quite exquisite tourist spots for both Australians and other foreigners. Because of such temperatures, it is always pleasurable to be beside the ocean or the river.

The city is serviced with an airport, with regular flights to the capital, Brisbane, and to the Lady Elliot Island. Besides these flights, people can always take buses to other parts of the country. Its airport is found next to the Central Queensland University, although its main campus can be found in the city of North Rockhampton, also in Queensland.

It is considered as sister cities with Settsu City in Japan, and the Nanning City in China. The sugar industry is also well-established in the city, with both milling and refining of sugar present.
