If you want to explore one of the great National Parks of Australia but have limited time or don’t have a car, then head for Katoomba. Katoomba is certainly no secret to residents of Sydney. When Sydneysiders feel the need to escape from the summer heat or the traffic and pollution of the city, they hop on a train and go to Katoomba. There really is no need to drive, because everything you want is at your doorstep in Katoomba.

The air is always cooler and fresher in Katoomba. You will feel a sense of cooling refreshment waft over you as soon as you get there, thanks to the higher elevation (a kilometer or 2500 ft above sea level) and the breezes that blow through the fragrant gum trees. A 2 minute walk from the platform and you are in downtown Katoomba and can take your pick of wonderful places to enjoy a cappuccino or a full meal at a sidewalk café. By the time you’re finished, you will be ready to discover why the landscape around Katoomba is among the most photographed in all of Australia.

Take a quick bus or taxi ride straight down the main road in town until you get to the point where you have to stop. You will then be at the edge of a vertical cliff over 550 feet (160+ meters) deep. Echo Point is the main lookout in town and a great place to start your exploration of the Blue Mountains. Go ahead and take a picture of the Three Sisters while you’re there. Although tens of thousands of photographs of these three peaks have been taken over the years, each one is somehow unique.

If you like hiking (or bushwalking, as we say in Australia), you’re going to love Katoomba. It could be said that Katoomba is the bushwalking capital of the country and has been for over a century and a half. From Echo Point, you can take the Giant Staircase to the base of the cliffs. The Federal Pass trail is one of the most popular trails in Australia if not the world, yet never feels overcrowded and is always immaculately maintained. The view up the cliffs from below is as breathtaking as it is from above, but from down here, you don’t hear any sounds other than those that are made by nature.

If it’s adventure you’re looking for, then head back into town and arrange to take a rock climbing or abseiling lesson. These lessons are taught by experts and every safety precaution is taken. Although your instructor convinced you there was little or no real danger involved, it will be hard to convince yourself when you’re hanging from the end of a rope hundreds of feet from the ground! If the wide, well-groomed trails are a little too luxurious for you and you want to plunge into the depths, then take a guided canyoning tour and get a rarely beheld close-up view of untouched wilderness.

Katoomba is so close to Sydney, you can do a lot in a single day. You’ve had such a great time, it would be a shame not to check into a Katoomba accommodation and stay for a night or two. You haven’t yet seen Blackheath or Mt Victoria or taken a ride on the Scenic Railway, to name just a few of the attractions in and around Katoomba. Make the most of the time you’ve got. When you need to return to the city, you can be back in Sydney in a flash.

The Flinders Ranges of South Australia are truly awe inspiring. That may be an overused word, but it is the only one worthy of them. In order to appreciate them fully, you have to step a little bit out of your comfort zone and take a hike away from the main road, but you don’t have to go far. As soon as you get away from the last signs of civilization (easy to do), you feel you are living in the aboriginal Dreamtime. Raw, jagged and yet hauntingly beautiful – this is the Flinders Ranges.

Launceston Tasmania might be Tasmania’s second city in size following Hobart, but it is anything but mediocre.

The Great Ocean Road is one of the world’s most beautiful drives and is one that should be savored slowly in order to be appreciated completely. Even though it is possible to travel its 150 mile length from Torquay to Allansford in a day, it would be tragic to do so. A much better plan is to spent at least one night at each of two or three strategic locations along the way.

No Tunisia travel advice is complete without the Amphitheatre of El Jem. Also spelt ‘El Djem’, it is the largest amphitheatre in North Africa and an UNESCO World Heritage Site. This amphitheatre held up to 35,000 spectators. Dating from the 3rd century, the ruined amphitheatre offers a quality of construction comparable with the Roman Coliseum. Animals, prisoners and gladiators, awaiting battle, were housed in the underground passageways.

The old city, or Medina of Tunis, is a group of intact historic buildings which preserve the connection between architecture, art, sculpture and urban planning typical of their period. The leaf motifs and colors of the roadside doors record Islamic symbolism and Tunisian lifestyles. The white, green and red coat of arms celebrates the Hafsid dynasty, the city’s rulers for 300 years. The symbolic, geometric designs above the doors are made with different sized nails. The Medina of Tunis was designated a World Heritage Site in 1979.

In the Medina of Sousse you can feel the atmosphere of ancient Tunisia. Once you have entered the Medina by its southerly gate, you can discover the delights of its ‘souq’ or covered bazaars. You could also visit the museum (Dar Essid) which gives a good impression of upper-class traditional Tunisian life. The rooftop cafe affords great views across the city. The Great Mosque radiates peace, due to its rather severe Aghlabite style.

From the 12th to the 16th century Tunis was considered one of the greatest cities in the Arabic world. So it is no surprise that the Medina became a World Heritage Site in 1979. You’ll need flat shoes, because there’s a lot to explore. If you love history, architecture and sculpture, there are 700 monuments in the old city: palaces, mosques, mausoleums, ‘madrasas’ (Islamic schools) and fountains The doors are uniquely decorated with colourful, symbols and other designs are fashioned from nails.

Kerkouane was an important Punic city. Its Necropolis (large burial site, from the Greek meaning ‘city of the dead’) was discovered in 1929 by a local schoolteacher who sold much of the treasure and jewellery he found. The network of vaults, four tomb-chambers and the surrounding area which make up the Necropolis lie northwest of the town of Kerkouane. Many other precious artefacts have been unearthed, including a set of rare perfume flasks. A sarcophagus cover representing Astarte, protectress of the dead, was another rare find. This UNESCO World Heritage site (1985) was declared as this is the only surviving example of a Phoenicio-Punic city.

Second only in importance to Mecca and Medina, Kairouan is considered to be the fourth most sacred city of Islam. In Kairouan you can find the Mosque of Uqba and the city is known as the Cultural Capital of Islam and it has indeed been a key place for the study of the Koran since the city was founded in the 7th century.

Conservation inspired the creation of Ichkeul National Park. This wetland offers an astonishing diversity of ecosystems. The park is home to many birds, 400 plants species, as well as animals and fish. Ducks such as shovellers, pochards and widgeons share the terrain with buffalo, wild boar and otters.

The site of Dougga/Thugga, situated in North West Tunisia, records more than 17 centuries in the ruins of a complete city. The site integrates several cultural styles: Numidian, Punic, Hellenistic and Roman, reflected in both public and private buildings: temples (dedicated to the Roman gods), a circus, baths, a theatre, a market, fountains, shops and houses.

Cheap villas holidays are the best way to vacation in exotic holiday spots as they suit even modest budgets. And they cannot get more exotic than the ‘sunshine state’ of Florida and the lovely beach resort of Kefalonia which although in different parts of the world boast the same sunny days and lovely beaches with miles of golden sands and azure waters.

There are many options to choose from cheap Florida villas and villas in Kefalonia as both are world renowned popular beach vacation spots although each place has its other own distinctive attractions to pull in the crowds. Florida has the famous Disneyworld in Orlando and which pulls in crowds especially family crowds like nothing else. With its four theme parks and two water parks it is the main attraction of Florida and families can benefit from huge cost-savings by opting to stay in cheap Florida villas during their visit here.

Fantastic rates can be availed for villa holidays whether you wish to stay close to Disneyland or to the beaches. Despite their reasonable rates, villa holidays are not short on luxuries and every amenity is thoughtfully provided for to make the ay for the guests as comfortable as possible. Right from swimming pools and private jacuzzis to all the mod cons including satellite television and air conditioning most of these villas have all this and more.

Some may even offer gyms and sauna rooms as well as recreation rooms for guests to while away an afternoon or evening and a kitchenette whether fully-equipped or with just a microwave is usually part of the facilities. Villa stays make the optimum sense in terms of savings as well as comfort especially when with small children as their normal meals can be whipped up in the kitchenette even in the middle of the night if required.

With its mild climate and lovely beaches Kefalonia in Greece is a magnet for holiday makers. While in Kefalonia, staying at a villa instead of the regular hotel makes for a far more pleasant holiday experience as a villa stay can be a ‘home-away-from-home’.With the best amenities on offer, villas in Kefalonia give you the freedom to relax and feel at home while enjoying your private space from the moment you step into the villa. You can choose from a villa next to the sea or you may opt for a villa further inland and experience local village life more fully.

Most of these villas come with air conditioning to keep you comfortable during the hot, sweltering summer days and also boast of satellite television, washing machines and kitchenette either fully-equipped or with onlya microwave. However the kitchen may be equipped it is certainly handy for a quick meal if sometimes you do not feel like sampling local cuisine.There may be tiny or sprawling gardens for you to have an after-dinner stroll.

Self-catering cheap villa holidays makes perfect sense to vacation with ease whether you are with family or are looking for some privacy.

Holidays are meant to relax and have fun. At the same time, they can also be adventurous and unique. Trekking, camping, mountain climbing, and boating are considered adventurous holidaying by many. Boating holidays not only is adventurous, but also relaxing.

Sail Away

In order to go on boating holidays, there is absolutely no need to own a boat. All that requires is to identify a good company that hires out boats by the hour or day and rent one. Companies like Norfolk Boards are perfect for this. Norfolk Boards boat hire is easy and reasonably priced. They have a variety of boats to choose from. This includes cruisers and day boats. The company also provides cottages near the lake or river front for vacationers. The cruisers are equipped with state-of-the-art facilities like comfortable berths, television and DVD player, plug points, electrical supply, and well-equipped toilets with shower. There is also enough headroom and a proper kitchen filled with all the necessary items to cook a decent meal. Other than the cruisers, smaller boats can be hired for a day or two if a person only wants to go into the waters for fishing or exploring and does not prefer to stay on the water. In such cases, one can stay in the many cottages that are available on the water front. Here, one can enjoy the water as well as live in the comfort of land.

Things to Stock

While venturing on a boating holiday it is wise to keep a few things handy. First of all, take proper clothing, which includes hats, waterproof stuff, and swimwear. Pack a torch. It may come in handy while going on an adventure in the woods in the evening or when there is a power outage. If maps of the river and the canals are available, then get them and take them with you. It is very important for proper navigation and to get you to the right destinations. Take plenty of water and canned food on board. It is also a good idea to carry along a sunscreen lotion and bug repellents. A digital camera could be packed if you are in the mood to photograph the trip to be posted on a website or to be added to a scrap book.

A boating holiday does not mean just spending time on the water. People can spend the day fishing or riding bicycles in the countryside. They can go for walks along the riverside or even go exploring. There are castles, countryside, villages, and towns that can be explored on a boat. The possibilities are endless. The boat can be docked at a small part and people can go shopping, sightseeing, or dining in the village or town. If exploration and adventure is not the aim, then one can let the boat drift and sun bathe on the deck or just fish in the calm waters. It can be rightly said that the Norfolk Boards holidays are the right way to relax and have fun on a boat.

Of course, any traveler would want to take in the grandeur of every destination while the sun is still up and shining. However, what if this great city is San Francisco, a peninsula city bounded by natural limitations? How does one get to deal with the calls of a road trip day?

Never buy a used car without test-driving it first. That’s probably a no-brainer—but exactly how do you test-drive a used car? What considerations should you take, what questions should you ask, and what criteria should you use to make an evaluation? The answers to these questions may not be quite as intuitive, yet they are every bit as important to answer before you begin considering your used automobile purchase.

The most crucial thing to keep in mind might seem, once again, like an obvious point, but it is nevertheless important: When test-driving a vehicle, you are the customer, and it is your preference that counts. When test-driving with a salesperson, always remember that you set the agenda and your concerns are the ones that ultimately matter. Don’t let the salesperson decide how you are going to evaluate your prospective automobile!

When embarking on a test drive, you might consider going alone—or with your spouse, if he or she is making the decision with you. Bringing the whole family along might prove to be a distraction from what is truly the goal of the test-drive—and that, naturally, is an honest assessment of the vehicle’s comfort and performance.

You might also consider doing a quick evaluation of the car’s comfort before you even head off the lot. Jumping in and out of the car a few times will give you a feel for how comfortable it will be in terms of its height and its distance off the ground; obviously, no one wants a car that is uncomfortable for them to enter or exit. Also try fiddling with the controls, testing the heat and air, even giving the car a good sniff to make sure there aren’t any deep-set odors from the prior owner. Be aware of how accessible the controls are from your position in the driver’s seat.

Once you’re on the road, try mixing it up. Don’t just stick to smooth, well-paved roads; see how it performs on bumpy surfaces. Evaluate how well the car merges on highways, how easy it is for you to make out street signs, and so forth. Make sure you use the brakes enough to get a feel for how they respond, and make sure to pay attention to the responsiveness of the steering.

You might also try testing the alignment—in a safe, quiet area, of course. Briefly take your hand off the wheel and see if the car has a tendency to veer in a particular direction. Try this on different surfaces if you can.

And in the end, remember, once again, that you are the customer—and the customer is always right. Just because you test a vehicle does not mean you have any obligation to purchase it; if any of the above tests fail to satisfy you, you have every right to just walk away. Do not allow the dealer to pressure you into making any hasty choices with your money; there are plenty of fish in the sea, so to speak, and you will find another car to buy just as surely as the dealer will find another customer!

How to Keep Your Used Car Running Like New

One of the main concerns that people have when purchasing a used car is whether or not it is mechanically dependable. While of course most consumers want their cars to look great, the real purpose of having a vehicle in the first place is to have access to a reliable source of transportation. Used cars may be older than their newer counterparts, but they have the potential to run just as well.

The Australian Outback is more than just the area around Uluru or Ayers Rock… in fact, by one definition it is most of the country. Because much of the continent is so dry, most of the population in Australia lives along the east coast…. with a fair number of people also living along the southern coast and the west coast.

All the rest of the country… the part that is less populated… is considered the Australian Outback. OK — If you’re planning a trip to Australia, and you want to see some of the Outback, you don’t want this big generalized definition. You want to know where to go and what to see.

This will come as no surprise, but what you want to see first is the iconic symbol of The Red Center… That big monolithic rock we mentioned right at the beginning…. It’s known to many as Ayers Rock, but it’s proper name among the Aboriginal native population is Uluru.

Uluru is where we went, so that’s what we’ll tell you about.

You could drive to Ayers Rock, then you’d really get a taste for the Australian Outback. It’s a long way from anywhere…. 280 miles (462) from Alice Springs, and Alice Springs is pretty much in “the middle of nowhere”… or the middle of the Outback, or in the Red Center, as you please.

We think the way to go is the way we went. Fly in. You can join a tour or travel independently. We rented a car… that’s often our first choice. Rental cars are expensive around Uluru, but so are tours. You are pretty much limited to one or the other. The roads you will be driving on are two lane, and many of them are dirt roads, but all are well maintained. Remember, you will be driving on the left.

There is a surprising range of accommodations for staying near Ayers Rock…. All of these are all located in Yulara which is a township/resort that is about 5 miles (8 km) from the entrance to the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. (And about 11 miles or 18 km from Uluru itself.) The accommodations range from five star hotels to hostels to a camp ground.

There are a variety of restaurants and snack bars and a small grocery store. Within this resort area, you can walk or take a free shuttle bus to get around. You might want to stay in one hotel, but eat at another… That’s easy.

You should plan to spend two or three nights to see even this small section of the Australian Outback. You can hike around Uluru, and you want to see it at various times of the day. It really is an awe inspiring sight. We did not climb Ayers Rock out of respect for the Aboriginal People’s wishes. They consider it sacred, and they ask you not to.

You will also want time to visit Kata Tjuta (which used to be known as the Olgas). You can drive out to see them, but to really appreciate them, you should allow time for a hike. We loved the hike we took, though we do have to admit we didn’t plan it as well as we could have… we went in the middle of the day when it was HOT. Take plenty of water.

You would need to allow weeks and weeks to explore all of the Australian Outback, but you can get a great taste for how beautiful it is by just visiting the Red Center around Ayers Rock.

This is a very different type of paradise, as compared to other world-famous island holiday destinations. Seychelles is a 115 island archipelago northeast of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean, 932 miles from the African continent.

For starters, visitors need to have a confirmed hotel booking when they arrive. It’s not considered good form to simply fly in and go backpacking around without a place to stay. Secondly, only some of the islands have facilities for visitors such as hotels and resorts.

The main tourist hotspots with all kinds of facilities for visitors are the islands of Mahe, Praslin and La Digue. What they do have in plenty are some truly sublime beaches, and a host of activities and things to do for visitors on the waterfront, in the water and out at sea. This includes fishing/boat charters and scuba diving, both of which are extremely popular here.

The capital city of Victoria is on Mahe, which put together with the other main Granitic Inner Islands of Praslin and La Digue, just about makes up the country’s entire population. Victoria is famous for its nightlife, dining, shopping and other urban experiences for tourists. It also has many fine hotels.

Resorts are a lot more spread out all over the islands. The three main islands mentioned above obviously have a large number of resorts. For those who prefer an isolated getaway, many of the islands here are completely uninhabited with no human presence except for one resort, a dock and a private airstrip for small planes to transport resort staff and guests.

It is also better to have a specific boat charter plan ready for deep sea fishing, marine tours, sailing and other such activities. For instance, one choice could be a catamaran that can easily take 15 to 20 people out to sea for a day or half-day trip. Other than deep sea and big game fishing, passengers can enjoy island hopping, swim with sea turtles, go snorkeling and do some bird watching.

Some live-in charter boats offer a stay right over famed scuba diving spots. Seychelles has one of the world’s best dive areas, with plenty of coral reefs, crystal clear waters and all kinds of exotic marine life. Not to mention interesting and historic ship-wreck dive spots. Resorts near the dive spots make it easy with dive shops for gear rental and diving lessons.

Praslin, La Digue and Mahe are the obvious choices for the ordinary traveler who wants to experience scuba diving, considering the well developed facilities near the dive spots at these islands. For adventurers seeking bigger thrills, the islands farther out like Denis Island offer spectacularly deep underwater cliffs. Either way, the best time to enjoy scuba diving here with maximum visibility is either April & May or Oct & Nov.

Summing up all this knowledge into a paragraph of Seychelles travel advice, the most important thing is to plan for everything. Book accommodations beforehand and create a very specific itinerary. The two most important things to do here, other than the beaches, are scuba diving and fishing/ boat charters.

Panama City Vacation Rentals

Posted: Mar 14, 2011 |Comments: 0

]]>

Vacation rentals can be enjoyed by anyone. But what are the advantages of renting a vacation home for your trip? Is a hotel better? We hope to answer these questions for you as you consider being a part of the vacation-rental world.

Price. When vacation time rolls around, you’re going to need a place to stay. Hotels are always an option, and usually the first thing people think of. But vacation rentals can be considerably cheaper than a hotel, especially during spring break times. This is the time that hotels make their major money, and they typically raise their rates. This can be a major advantage of vacation rentals, especially if you plan on staying more than a week or two. At a hotel, the nightly rate – over the course of three weeks – can produce some lofty numbers.

Location. Comparing a vacation rental to a hotel is once again important when it comes to the location of your stay. Most hotels are located right in the thick of things, with convenience in mind for the traveler. Many tourists come into town without a vehicle to take them around the town. For those desiring a different experience, however, a vacation rental might be the better choice. Many rentals are seated inside communities, and offer a more private stay. This can be perfect for romantic getaways or vacations that are intended to be relaxing. Many of them are tucked away and offer relaxing, down-time atmospheres as opposed to being right in the middle of the city.

Service. Instead of a corporation making the decisions for you, vacation rentals can offer private ownership. That sort of service and intimacy can be immensely important to your enjoyment.

Landscape and Immersion. When you’re on your vacation, one of the things that can add to your experience is feeling like you’re actually living in your choice of environment. Rather than having a parking lot outside your window, you will be staying in a home or condo that has a yard. It will feel like it’s your own and you belong there.

Hotels are certainly not a bad thing, and for weekend stays might even occasionally be the better option. But if you plan on staying somewhere for an extended period of time, vacation rentals seem to be the wise choice. This philosophy applies to those looking for rest and relaxation, as a home is exponentially more relaxing than many hotels.

The town of Guadix sits in the Province of Granada in southern Spain. Guadix is located around 50km to the east of Granada. It is a small town with approximately 25,000 inhabitants. For visitors to Andalucía and wanting to experience something out of the ordinary, Guadix is well worth a visit as nearly half of it’s residents live underground in traditional Spanish cave houses.

There is so much more to Guadix that meets the eye. Literally speaking. Most of Guadix is actually underground and is only partially revealed by the white chimneys which appear everywhere at ground level. The chimneys seem to bear silent witness to a seemingly endless underground World.

Guadix is one of the few remaining towns in Spain where people still live in caves. Surrounded by soft limestone rock, which has enabled easy excavation, people have built some real palaces underground. The houses are said to be ideal for the climatic conditions, staying cool in the long, hot summers and warm in the winters.

Brief history of Guadix

The name Guadix, came from the Moors who gave this old Roman camp the poetic name of Guadh-Haix, which translates as the “river of life”. Guadix acted as staging post between eastern and western Andalucia. The mythical settlement of Acci (home to the accitanos tribe) is thought to have been very close to modern-day Guadix. As with so many villages and towns in this area, Guadix was at its peak during the Arab period, from which its fortress (alcazaba) survives. The majority of Guadix’s buildings are from the 17C and 18C.

Barrio de las Cuevas – the cave district

The cave district is situated in the highest part of Gaudix amid a landscape of streams, gullies and small brown hills. The caves are built on different levels, so that those dwellings hollowed into the side of the hills often have their entrance on top of the roof of another cave. Solitary caves can occasionally be seen in an isolated location, occupying a single hillside.

How to get there

Guadix falls on the route between Granada and Almeria. Following the A-92 motorway direction Guadix/Almeria/Murcia after 45kms you come to the Guadix exit (clearly signposted) – exit 294. There are also daily, direct buses that run from Granada. Guadix is also serviced by a train station. There are four daily trains from Granada to Almeria

If you prefer to drive, there are plenty of companies offering Malaga airport car hire direct from Malaga airport.

Where to Stay

For places to stay in the Malaga area, including holiday rentals in Andalusia please visit the Campaya website
