Biking Vacations Over Beach Holidays

February 2nd, 2009
Anna Stenning asked:


The first time I had decided to go mountain biking was, believe it or not, at the tender age of 23 years old! It is unfortunately true that during my childhood I had missed the fun and joys of riding a bike down the streets and even more thrilling doing the paper round! Furthermore, I had never experienced the joys of going on mountain biking holidays with my family, more so because no member in my family (with the exception of one or two) could ride a bike!

Now, this is not to say that I had a deprived upbringing. Far from it, I was simply always afraid of doing something that will risk breaking or injuring my limbs - thus my family opted for safer sports such as golf, badminton and (contrary to fears) swimming! However, this never did stop me from learning to ride a bike, and then fifteen years later actually begin to ride a bike - all in an attempt to prepare myself for the dreaded first timers’ mountain biking holidays experience.

Until a few years ago, I did not know that such a holiday existed. In fact, other than skiing, snowboarding, bungee jumping and skydiving, I was not aware of any mountain biking holidays in France - nor was I aware of the mountain biking championships held every year. Clearly, mountain bikers’ right now are probably thinking I had not yet lived until I have at least been involved in one biking holiday!

However, I did learn that places like Les Gets (France), riding the Andes (Chile and Argentina), Cuba and even as far as Ethiopia accommodated space for mountain biking. An adventure like this seems too good to be true for avid biking fans; many would place this on the same par as bungee jumping or skydiving. This is the thrill junkies dream, but also a sightseer’s experience of a lifetime. This is certainly something I am looking forward to experiencing.

Holidays in places like Ethiopia for some people, may conjure up an image of an impoverished country with dusty plains and bumpy rough roads. Far from this misconception lies a colourful history, friendly people full of pride in their country and living in a country, which has some of the highest plateau peaks in the continent. As well as the 6500m of descent, there is still an awful lot of climbing and the odd rocky road tracks and mountain trails to keep you busy.

The French Alps is famous for all it sporting versatility, more specifically skiing. However, when the snow melts down and the sun beams through it is a relaxing yet stimulating mountain biking haven. The high mountain peaks caters for bikers of all levels, from avid professional mountain bike enthusiasts to first time free riders. There are chalets nearby that accommodate for people of all ages and these offer French and English speaking guides to provide people with a tour of the land.

For those looking to relax on the beach Spain, try taking a trip to the Marina Alta Mountains in Valencia whereby people can spend a week following the winding trails whilst enjoying the beautiful scenery beside them. These mountain tracks were originally carved out for donkeys and over the years, these side trails became over grown. However, this mountain trail is almost hidden from tourists; thus making this an uninterrupted riding experience.

People planning a holiday should consider the prospects of mountain bike holidays, this is not something that should be approached hesitantly but more for the joy of experiencing something new. Not to mention a cheaper and ideal way to keep fit whilst enjoying a relaxing holiday abroad. Holidays does not need to involve copious amounts of alcohol and beaches; the option for taking part in something is thought to be uplifting, stimulating and even refreshing.

The Country Versus The City; What Is Best For A Holiday?

January 31st, 2009
Thomas Pretty asked:


When most of us holiday it is too easy to stay in the major tourist destinations taking in the sights and sounds; however it is essential that as holidaymakers we should take the time to sample the culture. This is why it is advisable to get the most from a country to head to rural localities, by doing this you can sample the country way of life. Staying in a rural hotel is also cheaper than staying in the city meaning that your trip will be more affordable, allowing you to spend money on the finer things in life like eating and drinking out.

In most cases cities will contain far more attractions and points of interest. However, holidaymakers should consider whether they want to spend their entire vacation cooped up in a city hotel surrounded by the hustle and bustle? A far more preferable and relaxing holiday can be had in the country, allowing tourists to sample the true culture of the nation, away from tourist hotspots. The countryside normally has its own culture, completely distinct from that of a city. While cities are places of business and trade, the countryside often lives to a slower way of life, ensuring relaxation and rejuvenation.

Cities are often filled with modern, purpose built hotels that while being comfortable hold no real charm or character. In the country it is normally possible to find the opposite, for instance in England there are many fine aged inns that simply ooze history and are a far more interesting place to stay. These modern hotels could be anywhere in the world, a hotel with heritage however is a good representation of the national identity, as well as being a great base to explore, enjoy excellent national cuisine and of course become familiar with local residents.

This is not purely true in England but is evident all over the world, whether this is Brittany, Tuscany or even Bavaria; there are always locally run hotels that provide the guest with exemplary accommodation and a friendly service. Tuscany is an especial case in point where a country hotel is more advisable than a city variant. The major city within Tuscany, Florence is such a tourist hotspot that during peak times the city’s population almost triples, this is despite the fact that the majority of residents up sticks during these months. In this case it is advisable to do as the locals do and head into the countryside to avoid the crowds.

Those heading on a romantic break should strongly consider staying in a rural hotel. While city breaks can be romantic, they can also be stressful; the countryside on the other hand is pleasurable and relaxing, meaning that both members of the couple can enjoy spending time together. It is even possible to find a hotel that specialises in romantic trips, offering services such as breakfast in bed and champagne on arrival. These small touches really can make a holiday special, increasing the romance immensely.

Personally, although I may be considered a country boy at heart, the countryside is a far preferable destination anyway. The swathes of lush green fields and stunning scenery only heightens the pleasure of a trip, while getting away from the smog and noise of a city is an added benefit. This is not purely true in England but is prevalent all over the world, being out in the localities delivers a different kind of experience. Whilst this has not been intended as a rant against the city and modernity it has hoped to highlight the benefits of the countryside, I am in no way disregarding the importance of cities as holiday destinations, just arguing that staying in rural areas brings a wholesome and enjoyable travel experience.

Travel to St Johns for a Relaxing Holiday in Canada

January 26th, 2009
Anurag Ahluwalia asked:


ST Johns

Situated on the Avalon Peninsula’s eastern fringe is Canada’s oldest city - St Johns. Well known throughout the world for its historical fishing industry St Johns is now a thriving metropolitan area with fishing, gas and oil industries at the front of its economic growth.

St Johns history dates as far back as 1947 when the first sailor John Cabot arrived into its Harbour. John Cabot was also known as John the Baptist as he sailed into the city to preach to those who would listen to his Hebrew prophets. The city was given its name by fisherman who believed that St Johns resembled a fishing town in Portugal. The climate in St Johns is notoriously known as the snowiest in Canada although its winters are relatively milder compared to other parts of Canada.

Sightseeing

The history of St Johns is present in many of gothic style cathedrals and monuments scattered throughout Newfoundland & Labrador. There are many interesting ones to visit including The Anglican Cathedral of St John the Baptist which was built in 1847 and Christ Church built in 1842. For an insight into St Johns Past take the family to Newfoundland Museum, The Railway Coastal Museum and the Provincial museum.

Should the kids find the museums a little boring there are plenty educational and entertaining places of interest to keep them happy - one place not to miss is the Newfoundland Science Centre and the Johnson Geo Centre that informs visitors about the planet and the future - it also has some special exhibits.

St Johns has a lovely coastline and with that in mind organised boat trips into the Atlantic are possible - where you can spot whales, dolphins and puffins.

Dining Out & Nightlife

Being a harbour city St Johns has more than its fair share of Sea Food restaurants with the specialty being crab, prawn and lobster dishes. If you are not keen on sea food Paella then don’t despair there are hundreds to be found throughout the city - whether it be a romantic dinner for two, pizza place to take the kids or a restaurant that has entertainment while you dine, you certainly wont be disappointed with the choice.

Nightlife in St Johns isn’t sleepy, there are themed bars, and plenty sports bars where you can watch the game, have a beer and feast on clam chowder. There is a predominant Irish influence to be found in St Johns so expect to find plenty traditional themed bars selling Guinness.

Travelling to St Johns

St Johns International Airport is where you will arrive into from the UK. Cheap flights through flyglobespan.com are available departing most UK airports with one or two stopovers at either Toronto or Edmonton. Flying time to St Johns varies depending on flight changes but is in the region of around 11 hours.

To enter Canada as a holidaymaker you are required to hold a current valid Passport and complete a visa waiver form. For some citizens born outside the UK may be required to have a medical check-up before being allowed entry into Canada.

Villa Accommodations Make a Tenerife Holiday More Exciting

January 24th, 2009
Roger Munns asked:


Are you planning an exotic and relaxing holiday in Tenerife this year? There is good news for those of you who are…

Forty new villas have been built to meet the needs and desires of those planning to visit the 2,053 square kilometer island in 2008. Check out some of the fabulous amenities and perks available at the new villas.

The villas are part of a five-star hotel in Tenerife, so the accommodations are top notch. They have their own points of entrance, so you do not have to go through the hotel to get to the villas. This lends to greater privacy for guests. Travellers, however, still get to enjoy all of the activities at the main hotel and can be escorted to bars, restaurants and attractions on buggies provided by the hotel and villas.

Each villa hosts its own Jacuzzi and private pool. Each also has a private terrace that is garnished with tropical plants. There are one or two room villas, depending on your occupancy needs. The decor in each villa is kept neutral to provide the ultimate relaxation experience possible. Holiday travelers have access to room service 24 hours a day. When not spending time in your villa, it is only a short distance to the sandy white beaches, which are major attractions in Tenerife.

Villas have become quite popular among holiday travelers to Tenerife and other places around the world - villas are more private than hotel rooms and still allow guests to enjoy all the same activities provided by five-star hotels, such as spas, galleries and restaurants. This makes a villa a prime choice for accommodations.

It is true that villas generally cost more than hotel room prices, but to some it is a small sacrifice when weighed with the option of having more space to lounge around in and a more secluded environment. Villas are especially popular among young couples and/or newlyweds.

Villas traditionally offer more amenities than a traditional hotel room. For instance, some will have small kitchens that are fully stocked, perfect for a quiet evening in your room. Villas also offer an option for additional televisions and/or DVD players. In essence, villas try hard to replicate a home away from home to make your holiday a memorable occasion.

When holidaying as a family, villas just make more sense because of the spacious room they offer. It’s hard to get everyone up and out the door in cramped quarters. And, if it happens to rain one day, who wants to be stuck in a small space with not much to do? Villas give your family options that hotel rooms simply cannot. Bring along some games in case of bad weather, but that does not happen very often in Tenerife, where the sun shines over 300 days a year!

Holiday Season Stress: Lack Of Time

January 23rd, 2009
Jason Johns asked:


One of the biggest problems any of us face during the holiday seasons is a lack of time. There is simply so much to do – parties, family time, shopping, cooking, watching your television shows and so much more.

How can you possibly fit it all in and get it all done without getting stressed?

If you are prepared and have planned for the holiday season, then you will find you have much more free time available. You will know what it is you need to do and when it has to be done by. With all the demands and pressures upon you, you almost have to plan your holiday seasons with military precision to avoid undue stress.

If you have planned and prepared, then you will be able to complete your entire gift shopping early. This makes you feel really good as buying gifts in the crowded stores is a big source of stress.

You can reduce your stress further by shopping online and not even going out to the stores! Then all your gifts are delivered to your door and you can do your shopping at a time that is convenient for you, even if it is the middle of the night!

During holiday seasons you are going to be inundated with invitations to events and gatherings. You do not need to attend all of them. Attend the ones you want to go to and turn down the rest.

Make sure you take some time for yourself. Running around from party to party can be very stressful. Take some time out for yourself and for your family and you will feel much less stressed. Many people feel guilty at taking time for themselves, but it is really important if you want to avoid stress and be more relaxed.

Holiday seasons can be more stressful for some people than others – mothers and wives often find they have more stress because they are expected to cook, clean and entertain. If you share the jobs around the house then you will be less stressed, the jobs will be done quicker, and you will find more time to relax and enjoy yourself too.

Managing your time becomes particularly important during the holiday seasons when so many demands are put upon you. Learn to reduce your stress through careful planning and thought and you will find the holiday seasons become much more enjoyable again.

A Peaceful And Relaxing Holiday In Hua Hin

January 21st, 2009
Wolfgang Jaegel asked:


The oldest beach resort in the country, Hua Hin is one of the seven districts of Prachuap Khiri Khan Province, and is located on the western coast of the Gulf of Thailand. Located about 90 km from the provincial capital and about 250 kilometers south of the capital city - Bangkok, Hua Hin is within a thin strip of land alongside the Thai peninsula, bordering Chumphon on the southern side and Phetchaburi on the northern side.

Once a typical sleepy fishing village, Hua Hin has now been evolved into an excellent resort town of elites. However, Hua Hin is not a destination for those looking for vibrant city life and intoxicating nightlife. With its beautiful sandy beaches, sparkling clear water, and serene atmosphere, Hua Hin is an excellent destination for those travelers, who love walking along the quaint streets, enjoying the picturesque views of the surroundings, and savoring sumptuous sea food specialties.

Formerly known as Ban Samoe Rieng, Hua Hin’s history of transformation into a world class beach resort dates back to 1920s, when a railway station was built here as a part of the Southern Railroad during the reign of King Rama VI. Later, the King Rama VII built a summer palace, which in turn attracted many royals from the capital city.

Apart from these, a series of royal residences were constructed here, all of which led to the transformation of Hua Hin to the country’s first beachside resort. Al though, it has now become one of the most sophisticate beach resorts of the country, the destination retains its charm and tranquility.

Attractions in Hua Hin range from gorgeous beaches and ancient shrines to incredible palaces and parks. Some of the most popular beaches in the area are Cha-am Beach, which is a serene area with facilities for activities like Thai massage, horse riding, and jet skiing.

Hua Hin Beach, stretching about seven kilometers from the town area to Khan Takiab; Suan Son Beach that is fringed with numerous pine trees; and Khao Takiab, whose area is much famed for a temple complex with a statue of the Lord Buddha. All of these beaches provide opportunities for a variety of recreational as well as adventure water sports activities.

When comes to sights and attractions, Hua Hin boasts of a multitude of interesting destinations. Of which most popular are:

Klai Kangwon Palace : Built in 1927 by King Rama VII for his Queen Rampai Phanee, this is a European style palace which still serves as the summer residence of royal family.

Maruekhathaiyawan Palace : A seaside summer palace built during the early 1920s by King Rama VI, Maruekhathaiyawan is truly an architectural splendor, with a great number of verandas and enclosed boardwalks built with golden teak taken from the demolished Hat Chao Samran Palace.

Panee Butterfly Farm : Nearby Klai Kangwon Palace is Panee Butterfly farm, with a large variety of butterflies, birds, and orchid plantations. This is a great place for kids.

Hua Hin Railway Station: Even if you have come via some other means to this resort town, don’t forget to take a tour to Hua Hin Railway Station, the first of its kind in the country.

Kaeng Krachan National Park : Sprawling over an area of about 3000 square kilometers, this is the country’s largest national park. Among the specialties found here are bears, deer, dusky langurs, gibbons, tigers, and wild elephants.

Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park: This amazing marine park is home to a plenty of wildlife such as Asian antelopes and barking deer, apart from a great number of resident as well as migratory birds.

Other not to miss destinations in Hua Hin are Phra Nakhon Khiri Historical Park and Khan Luang Cave, which is a stupendous place that is much famed for its Buddha image enshrined within the cave.

With these scores of attractions and aplenty of options to enjoy a range of activities, Hua Hin Phuket draws vacationers from every nook and corner of the world. Hence, Hua Hin has accommodation choices to suit every budget and taste.

For those who can spend extravagantly for their vacation, some excellent options are available in the form of hotels and resorts coupled with high-end facilities and amenities. For those looking for privacy, one of the best options would be to go for accommodation choices such as rental villas inclusive of superb accommodation, transportation facilities, dining options, and maid servants.

January 13th, 2009
Anirban Bhattacharya asked:


 

Botswana is a great safari destination for all the tourists visiting South Africa. Botswana safari allows its visitors a memorable safari environment and a great opportunity to explore the world in the lap of Mother Nature. It has been very well known for its fascinating deserts, wetlands, savannahs, the paradisiacal Okavango Delta and is bordered by Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

The Okavango Delta is like a home for bird watchers, thousands of species of birds, fish, reptiles, predators and mammals. It’s the Kalahari Desert which makes Botswana safari an amazing experience for every visitor here.

Safari attractions in Botswana:-

The Okavango Delta – As described this is the home for many birds, fishes reptiles etc. and is spread in around 15,540 sq-kilometres.

 

Savute Game Reserve – It is one of the world’s most beautiful game reserves and a famous destination among animal lovers. If you want to know how elephants line up for water, lions remain clutched together and how they feed themselves then this place provides you with an excellent opportunity to see these things altogether.

 

The Tuli Block- It is best known for its eye-catching landscapes and different topography as this place lies to the south eastern corner, most of the wild animals can be seen here.

 

Chobe National Park – It is located near the well-known Chobe River and large concentration of elephants can be found here roaming with their families.

 

Fascinating culture of the people living there can be seen which greatly helps us to understand them better.

 

There are various lodges available for the visitors at a reasonable price one can surely afford. Usually rooms are in the form of tents which are meant for those people who are seeking a stay in between the wild animals. There are special rooms for those couples who seek privacy and are known as “honeymoon suits”. The colour of the walls makes the room spacious and shiny which is far better than ones expectations. There are bedside tables and wall mounted reading lights which create a perfect ambience for a person to relax.

 

You can enjoy the sitting in the stylish and furnished bar with a cocktail or any drink of your choice.
