Altea, Spain is a small town in the Costa Blanca and is located roughly nine miles north of Benidorm, a popular Costa Blanca city. Altea is one of the few villages in the region that has maintained the atmosphere of a fishing village, creating a tourist area without sacrificing its natural beauty. This small village offers its visitor an atmosphere much more peaceful and quiet than the larger cities. The mountains surrounding the village keep the climate comfortable in the summer months as well as the winter months when the mountains help protect the village from cold winds.
Most visitors to the village fly into the Alicante airport located about an hours drive from the town. There are buses and trains available at the airport to take you to the village, or you can rent a car from one of the car hire companies at the airport. With real estate growing in Altea, you will find many new hotels and apartments in which you can stay.
Altea is the perfect destination for a quiet, relaxing vacation in one of the most beautifully landscaped areas in the Costa Blanca region. Many writers and painters come to the village for its tranquility and beautiful surroundings. The length of stay varies, but most visiting writers and painters stay in the area surrounding the old church, Nuestra Senora Del Conseulo. This church was built in 1910 and has a beautiful Mediterranean style design with its hand-painted tiles and blue dome roof. In fact, the church’s roof is a landmark in the area.
Walking tours are the best way to experience Altea and are available in the town or the surrounding mountains. You can take a private tour or a guided tour of the trails around the village. If you enjoy nature, the mountain walking tours are a great way to enjoy the beautiful surroundings in a tranquil environment.

The market is near the harbor area.

The beautiful climate in the area is great for golfing, especially with the comfortable summers and mild winters. Finally, for some nightlife or more popular tourist attractions, you can take a trip to the nearby city of Benidorm where you will find vibrant nightlife, theme parks and water parks. You can travel to Benidorm by car or by train.

A Prince Edward Island vacation is not a vacation at all without succumbing to the succulence offered up by a maritime lobster feed unlike any you’re likely to find anywhere else.

A Prince Edward Island vacation is not a vacation at all without succumbing to the succulence offered up by a maritime lobster feed unlike any you’re likely to find anywhere else.
Lobster is not so much a part of Prince Edward Island life as it is a fact of Prince Edward Island life and a visit to the gentle island without a lobster feast would be like a visit to the island without giving in to a round of golf. Or visiting the island and not walking along the miles and miles and miles of endless sandy beaches in shades of white, champagne, pink and of red. Or of visiting the island without taking in the many festivals that imbue it with its unique character, charm and of course, it’s culture.
There are two lobster fishing seasons on Prince Edward Island; one in the spring and the other occurring in the fall. Lobsters from the island are available year round, however, because they are kept in holding pens or pounds, (traditionally large, fenced areas of the ocean) or in more recent years, thanks to rapid the advancements made by technology, lobsters can be penned in huge dry-land holding facilities, in fact pioneered in Atlantic Canada. In the end, it means the lobster served to you is always as fresh as it is refreshing to the palate.
The American lobster or as it’s known by its scientific name, Homarus Americanus, can most often be found on the Atlantic coast where it is also known as the northern, Atlantic or Maine lobster. The colder waters of Canada are the more common lobster areas although they can be found as far south as North Carolina.
While a much vaunted delicacy today, in decades past, that hasn’t always been the case. In fact, the lobster was once considered very common and farmers of Prince Edward Island would often spread lobsters on their fields for fertilizer. Perhaps that’s one of the reasons Prince Edward Island potatoes have come to have the storied reputation and taste they do.
A live lobster is usually greenish-brown in appearance and color, although occasionally they have been known turn up in blue, partly white, yellow or bright red. These color variations are the result of a genetic defect in the lobster shell pigments and are very rare. In fact, for a blue lobster, the chances are one in a million. For a yellow lobster; one in 30 million.
The sight of a red lobster is considerably more common and can be found all over the island. This is, of course, due to the fact that it’s been cooked and served with butter. It is here, on the gentle island that the potato and lobster together are once again a familiar sight, preferably served piping hot in your newfound and favorite Prince Edward Island restaurant at the water’s edge or along the boardwalk.
This summer, savor the succulence of a Prince Edward Island lobster, and all the tradition that comes with it. Bon appetit!

Sometimes it is hard to make it until the summertime vacation, isn’t it? You can choose to take some short vacations to help relieve some of the stress, so that you can better make it to the long summer vacation. It will cost less to take a quick holiday, too. What are some options for short holidays that you can consider to help make the time between vacations go faster.
What about having a quick holiday in your own town? There are most likely some activities that you have never even visited. You may know that they are available, but you just don’t visit. You can visit these attractions and pretend to be a tourist in your own hometown.
You can take a long weekend of three days to rest and relax from the hard work that you have been doing at work. If you have some extra money that you can spend, you can get a motel room that offers an indoor pool. This is especially fun if there is snow and ice on the ground. A motel with a continental breakfast will save you a little more money, because you will not have to buy breakfast.
If you are on a tight budget, then relax at home. Turn off the phone, leave the computer alone, and only use your cell phone for emergencies or turn it off altogether. You can spend time at home catching up on movies that you have missed, eating popcorn, and relaxing.
Historical homes or museums could be a source of activity if you so choose. You are sure to find something new to visit if you simply do a little research. Whether you have a museum in your own town or one nearby, you are sure to have a relaxing and informative time visiting.
Do you have parks that you have not explored in your city? Some of them may have free events that they offer, including movies and more. If you enjoy hiking or biking, you may find some trails to explore with your family. Check your local paper to see what activities are planned around and in your city at the parks and at other locations. Check your local arts association as well, because many times they offer free events that you can attend.
Look for things to visit that are within just an hour of two of your home. Taking short vacations are a great way to get away from the stress of life without a huge expense. You can pack a picnic and take a quick holiday any weekend that you choose. You can leave in the morning and then come back at night after you enjoy an attraction. Short holidays are a way to make that time between vacations seem shorter so that you can reduce your stress levels.
Taking short vacations of three days or less can be a great time for you and for your family. You only need to research the options that are around you and plan a fun quick holiday for you and for your family. They will appreciate it and so will your stress level!

The French are known world-wide as being extremely passionate about the French film industry, a central point of Frances economy and culture. Ask virtually anyone walking through the streets of France about their opinions on film, their favorite movies, and the last time they watched a film, and you will quickly get to meet a range of interesting people and find yourself deep in French conversation. For this reason, knowing a few words and being able to talk a little about film in French is a great tool as this is a good opportunity to practice your French speaking with native speakers.
For starters you need to know the basics. Below are a few words you will commonly use when discussing your film interests. The soundings of many of these French words also give a reasonable English description.
actors: comediens
actresses: comediennes
adventure: adventure
animated films: dessins animes
best film: meilleur film
best screenplay: meilleur scenario
Cannes film festival: le festival de Cannes
Cesars: the Cesars (French version of the Oscars)
crime: policier
comedy: comedie
director: le metteur en scene (literally-a putter in stage)
Golden Palm: La Palme d'Or (honorable prize at the Cannes film festival)
movie: le film
movie theater: le cinema
A Quick French MOvie Phrase
- "Et maintenant, le moment que nous attendons tous: le Cesar du meilleur metteur en scene."
- And now, the moment we have all been waiting for: the Oscar for the best director....
As mentioned earlier, the cultural and language trends are often very similar between the French and English. this make it reasonably simply to learn the language, the transition or conversion from English to French is really quite intuitive. In regards to the above French sentence, if I told you that 'maintenant' is 'now' in French, it would be easy to understand what was being said.
Below are some more French sentences about film. Read the French sentence first, see if you understand what is going on and being said, then see if you were correct with the English translation.
-"Avez-vous vu (voo) le dernier (dare nee ay) film de Spike Jones?"
- Have you seen the last Spike Jones film?
- "Oui, j'ai beaucoup aime le scenario, mais pas la mise en scene."
- Yes, I really liked the screenplay, but not the direction.
- "Est'ce que le film passe en VO ou en VF?"
- Is the film in the original language version or dubbed into French? (VO is an abreviation for Version Originale and VF is Version Francaise.)
- "Heureusement (uhr uz mehn), en VF. Je ne comprends (com prahn) pas Anglais tres bien."
- Happily, dubbed into French. I don't understand English very well.
You may notice that the first two conversations are in the past tense. In France it's actually more common to converse in the past tense than present or future, the past tense is used more so than in most other languages. If you look to the French verb tenses lesson on my learn French site, you will see that the past tense is also the most basic, easy to learn conversation tense. Just take the parts of the verb 'avoir' and use it with the past participle to form the past tense.
Although forming the past participle for French verbs is done differenty for each verb, if you are using "regular" verbs, the ending will remain consistent.
"er" verbs: remove "er" from the infinitive and add "e"
"ir" verbs: remove "ir" from the infinitive and add "i"
"re" verbs: remove "re" from the infinitive and add "u"
Parler(speak): parle
Remplir(fill): rempli
Entendre (hear): entendu
Go back to the second conversation we covered, "Oui, j'ai beaucoup aime le scenario". See how the verb "aimer" (to like) is an "er" verb, here we removed the "er" and added "e", so it became "j'ai aime le scenario".
Of course, since we liked it very much, we have to insert "beaucoup" to the middle. (In the case of the "er" verbs, however, both the infinitive and the past participle end up sounding similar, despite the fact that the spelling is different. In this case, an 'ay' sound is acheived by the 'er' and 'e' endings.
See if you can take the following short sentences and create the past tense using 'ir' and 're' verbs.
"J'ai rempli le verre." I filled the glass. "Il a entendu sa mere." He heard his mother.

The French are known world-wide as being extremely passionate about the French film industry, a central point of Frances economy and culture. Ask virtually anyone walking through the streets of France about their opinions on film, their favorite movies, and the last time they watched a film, and you will quickly get to meet a range of interesting people and find yourself deep in French conversation. For this reason, knowing a few words and being able to talk a little about film in French is a great tool as this is a good opportunity to practice your French speaking with native speakers.
For starters you need to know the basics. Below are a few words you will commonly use when discussing your film interests. The soundings of many of these French words also give a reasonable English description.
actors: comediens
actresses: comediennes
adventure: adventure
animated films: dessins animes
best film: meilleur film
best screenplay: meilleur scenario
Cannes film festival: le festival de Cannes
Cesars: the Cesars (French version of the Oscars)
crime: policier
comedy: comedie
director: le metteur en scene (literally-a putter in stage)
Golden Palm: La Palme d'Or (honorable prize at the Cannes film festival)
movie: le film
movie theater: le cinema
A Quick French MOvie Phrase
- "Et maintenant, le moment que nous attendons tous: le Cesar du meilleur metteur en scene."
- And now, the moment we have all been waiting for: the Oscar for the best director....
As mentioned earlier, the cultural and language trends are often very similar between the French and English. this make it reasonably simply to learn the language, the transition or conversion from English to French is really quite intuitive. In regards to the above French sentence, if I told you that 'maintenant' is 'now' in French, it would be easy to understand what was being said.
Below are some more French sentences about film. Read the French sentence first, see if you understand what is going on and being said, then see if you were correct with the English translation.
-"Avez-vous vu (voo) le dernier (dare nee ay) film de Spike Jones?"
- Have you seen the last Spike Jones film?
- "Oui, j'ai beaucoup aime le scenario, mais pas la mise en scene."
- Yes, I really liked the screenplay, but not the direction.
- "Est'ce que le film passe en VO ou en VF?"
- Is the film in the original language version or dubbed into French? (VO is an abreviation for Version Originale and VF is Version Francaise.)
- "Heureusement (uhr uz mehn), en VF. Je ne comprends (com prahn) pas Anglais tres bien."
- Happily, dubbed into French. I don't understand English very well.
You may notice that the first two conversations are in the past tense. In France it's actually more common to converse in the past tense than present or future, the past tense is used more so than in most other languages. If you look to the French verb tenses lesson on my learn French site, you will see that the past tense is also the most basic, easy to learn conversation tense. Just take the parts of the verb 'avoir' and use it with the past participle to form the past tense.
Although forming the past participle for French verbs is done differenty for each verb, if you are using "regular" verbs, the ending will remain consistent.
"er" verbs: remove "er" from the infinitive and add "e"
"ir" verbs: remove "ir" from the infinitive and add "i"
"re" verbs: remove "re" from the infinitive and add "u"
Parler(speak): parle
Remplir(fill): rempli
Entendre (hear): entendu
Go back to the second conversation we covered, "Oui, j'ai beaucoup aime le scenario". See how the verb "aimer" (to like) is an "er" verb, here we removed the "er" and added "e", so it became "j'ai aime le scenario".
Of course, since we liked it very much, we have to insert "beaucoup" to the middle. (In the case of the "er" verbs, however, both the infinitive and the past participle end up sounding similar, despite the fact that the spelling is different. In this case, an 'ay' sound is acheived by the 'er' and 'e' endings.
See if you can take the following short sentences and create the past tense using 'ir' and 're' verbs.
"J'ai rempli le verre." I filled the glass. "Il a entendu sa mere." He heard his mother.

Private charter jets often offer amenities that are not found on public airlines. Although it may sound expensive to charter a private jet, there are many benefits that outweigh the cost. Commercial airlines cannot compare to the benefits of private charter jets, especially if you fly frequently.
Often, after only one private charter flight, passengers are hooked. They decide that private jets are now their preferred mode of transportation. You can locate a private charter jet through local business charters or through a charter broker who is qualified.
Since the price of private charter jets has become more affordable, they have also become more popular. Whether you are booking a private charter jet for business associates, friends or family, there is no better way to commemorate a special occasion.
Generally, commercial airlines have a set number of routes with only one or two connecting cities or countries. Private charter jets have greater flexibility in their routes. If done correctly, private charter jets have the ability to offer less expensive tickets because they operate differently than commercial airlines. Since, when chartering private jets, the entire airplane is booked from the airlines, they are able to offer a discount.
Private charter jets are great for group travel or even for those who want a more private flying encounter. At times, travel firms will incorporate overnight stays at some of the most luxurious hotels. They may also include programs for touring and sightseeing.
Private charter jets are generally more reliable than other ways of getting inexpensive tickets. Often, the closer to the flying date it gets, the cheaper it becomes to book. In order to make their money, the private charter company wants to sell as many tickets as possible. They offer you the ability to fly when and where you want to. All the while, giving you the security and privacy not found on commercial airlines.

Cruising is a unique experience that packages everything you want from a vacation and more. Alaska, on the other hand, is the ultimate destination for adventure and exploring the unknown, such as glaciers; therefore, a Princess cruise to Alaska is a must do on anyone’s list who enjoys adventure and luxury alike.
Alaska: The Final Frontier
Alaska has everything that is beautiful and pristine such as the glaciers that take your breath away with their beauty, breeching whales, the salmon swimming upstream that you can simply reach out and touch, the bears and moose who make their appearance when you least expect as well as its native hospitable people who are more than happy to chat and let you in on Alaskan tradition and traits.
Taking a seven day Princess cruise to Alaska will deliver the whole package: a day in four out of the five towns of interest such as Juneau, which is also the capital of Alaska, Ketchikan, Skagway, Haines and/or Seaward as well as couple of days at sea so you can enjoy the scenic Alaska through the Inside Passage or in Glacier Bay.
Cruising On Princess Cruises Ships
Princess Cruises is an established cruise liner with a vast number of ships in its fleet; every summer Princess Cruises ensures that at least 2 – 3 of their ships are cruising the Alaskan waters. All Princess cruises to Alaska are five star category and usually carry between 800 to 2000 passengers depending on the size of the ship.

But, a Princess cruise to Alaska offers much more than just dinning and accommodation; everyday on board there are different times of activities going on for those who stay on board and every evening besides the fine dining you will be entertained with exceptional Broadway shows.
A Vacation Like No Other
A Princess cruise to Alaska will definitely turn out to be more than you hoped for; you unpack once and yet see a number of towns; experience the wild nature and beauty of Alaska and yet every evening enjoy five star fine dining and Broadway shows, a quiet piano bar evening if you are not in the mood to watch a show or even a five course dinner served in the comfort of your cabin.
A Princess cruise to Alaska is a vacation like no other which will make you want to come back as soon as you possibly can. There are cruise consultants on board the ship who will only be too happy to help you plan your next Alaskan vacation as well as offer you their best prices.

Alaska: The Final Frontier
Alaska has everything that is beautiful and pristine such as the glaciers that take your breath away with their beauty, breeching whales, the salmon swimming upstream that you can simply reach out and touch, the bears and moose who make their appearance when you least expect as well as its native hospitable people who are more than happy to chat and let you in on Alaskan tradition and traits.

To gain a full understanding of America’s struggle through infancy and keeping the threads of the nation together during the Civil War, Atlanta is a mandatory travel destination. The entire city was at one point or another an actual battleground for many pivotal moments during the Civil War. The Union Invasion into Atlanta in 1864 is even the center story of the famous 1939 film, Gone with the Wind. Find your airfare to Atlanta today and immerse yourself in the city’s tumultuous centuries and even find some good ol’ southern hospitality.
Most major assets in Atlanta were destroyed during the Union siege of the city and when Union General Sherman finally gained control, he ordered the city to be burned to the ground on November 11, 1864, save some churches and hospitals. Thus Atlanta began again, leading the southeast in industry at the end of the 19th century and racial equality during the Civil Rights movement.
A Large Obsession in Atlanta
A new beginning in Atlanta meant open space for large public works and a sense of hometown pride that has been glorified by many art displays and projects. Book your airfare to Atlanta and begin your journey through history at the Atlanta Cyclorama and Civil War Museum, which is home to the world’s largest painting, “The Battle of Atlanta.” The painting is in diorama form with a revolving audience viewing platform.
If you leave the museum hungry, head on over to The Varsity, the first location of the chain and the world’s largest drive-in restaurant. Then, make your way to the Georgia Aquarium, which is - you guessed it – the world’s largest aquarium. Eight million gallons of water and 100,000 living specimens hold this elaborate marine wonderland heads above the rest. If you’re ready to see Atlanta’s outlying surroundings, take a drive to Stone Mountain to see the largest piece of exposed granite slab in the world carved into the busts of Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. For a taste of southern musical culture, make sure you travel to Atlanta during the Atlanta Jazz Festival, which happens to be the largest free jazz festival in the United States.
Capture Contemporary Atlanta
Atlanta is littered with modern cultural sights and post-modern design. Take a visit to the unique World of Coca Cola museum where the soda company’s incredibly successful marketing strategy is revealed during a journey through the 20th century. You can see the legend of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s civil rights organizing and campaigning at the King Center, where his tomb rests in the center of a reflecting pool. For an evening out, visit the Woodruff Arts Center and choose among symphony, ballet, theater or its expansive are collection.
Atlanta is one of the most easily accessible destinations in the United States, hosting the headquarters or major hubs of most major airlines at its airport. America’s heritage and legends await; what are you waiting for?

When the time has finally arrived to take off for your cruise, this may be a bit of a different experience from other types of trips you would need. Here are some of the things you can expect as you kick off the enjoyment of your cruise package.
While you may be used to self catering, it’s time to get used to pampering. That is what is going to happen as you begin your cruise voyage. As soon as you arrive at the cruise terminal you will notice this. Instead of you being forced to drag your luggage all over the place, it usually is taken from you by porters for the cruise line. You may have to be a little patient so they can get to you, since a lot of passengers are usually arriving for their holiday at the same time and the terminal can be a very busy place. Just as you would at the airport, give yourself a lot of extra time to get to the cruise terminal and checked in.
When the porters get to you, they are going to quickly whisk your luggage away and put it on a luggage cart. While you may be a little worried it will not get on the ship, never fear. While airlines can lose luggage from time to time on flight transfers, the cruise line is the one taking care of your bags from start to finish, and the only place they are going is onto your ship. They will magically appear in your stateroom later in the day. It will take a while for them to sort all the luggage out once you get onboard, so be patient. If you want quicker service, it never hurts to tip the porter well, a $5 minimum tip is recommended.
Once your luggage is gone, you have to head into the terminal. This part of the process will remind you of being at the airport, because you will have to go through all the same security x-ray and metal detecting machines as you would at the airport, so once again, be patient. Just be responsible, and respectable and this will go well. Make sure you do not have any taboo items, such as alcohol. Most cruise lines do not allow you to bring alcohol aboard with you. This rule is not for a safety reason as much as it is likely so they can sell their alcohol, but you have to follow their rules.
Once you make it past security, you will be given a number and letter and sent into the Embarkation Lounge until the ship is ready for you. This is a great opportunity to start to meet other people who are going to be on the cruise with you. Many of them have likely sailed before and may be able to answer questions regarding what to expect on your cruising holiday.
Once aboard, find your stateroom, get to know the ship, and if you’re at a loss for where you are or where you’re going, you’re likely to find a staff member somewhere nearby to point you in the right direction.

Almost everyone have their own ideal vacation spot. This usually considered as the perfect place where the worries and toils of survival can be forgotten momentarily. And two natural elements that often characterize this ideal vacation spot are the sun and the ocean.
There must be something about the sea that makes people flock to it. But humans we know are very unique. So for some reasons, other people would rather go for a vacation spot that offer peace and serenity, and perhaps a change of scenery. This for me is what a Savanna vacation represents. The city is replete with historical monuments and other facilities for a relaxing holiday.
For those who have never been to Savanna, you may want to consider it as your next vacation spot. It is certainly a beautiful city; with a pronounced serenity you can't fail to notice as I did the first time I visited the place.
I heard about this classic city as an ideal vacation spot from my brother. I went online and did further research on my own to have a good grasp of this holiday spot. I discovered the city seems to have all that is required for a serene retreat or better still a romantic weekend.
Though Savanna vacation might be an unpopular choice for many holiday fun seekers, it certainly sounds fine to me.
I never really had any chance for a honeymoon when I got married, so I decided that a trip to Savanna will be a perfect romantic getaway. The Internet will provide all the information you want about this majestic city. If historical buildings and architecture fascinates you, then Savanna vacation is tailor made for you.
There are also many exotic dining and shopping districts, and of course captivating sights that attracts many people to the city. The location of the city on the waterfront also provides tourists the opportunity to ride on fairy boats, or take leisure strolls down the coast. An ideal holiday spot don't come better that this.
Because Savanna was once a prosperous place, there is an erroneous belief that the natives don't care about new folks coming in; nothing can be farther fro the truth. Those seeking a serene getaway or romantic weekend can testify to how they were welcomed with open arms.
The natives are nice people. The huge resource of the Internet can provide numerous websites that discussed ideal Savanna vacations. These sites will usually list the interesting places to visit and the desirable things to do. For those searching for that special romantic getaway with their wives or partners, Savanna vacation it's got to be.

Often referred to as “America’s Birthplace,” Philadelphia has been the center of progressive beliefs and democratic principles since the first settlement of the city was founded by the now famous Quaker, William Penn. Naming the settlement “The City of Brotherly Love,” William Penn hoped to protect individual freedoms and promote religious tolerance in stark contrast with what many colonists had escaped under British rule.
William Penn’s visions were realized when the Declaration of Independence was signed in Independence Hall, and after years of bloody and hostile clashes with the British Army during the American Revolution when the United States Constitution was first drafted in the same hall. Travel through time in Independence National Historic Park (Old City) where the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall and Constitution Hall are all concentrated. You can view the Constitution and Declaration of Independence in Constitution Hall and take a walk through the many Revolution-era buildings that have been restored and preserved. Travel to Philadelphia, once the capital of the United States, and see for yourself the remnants of revolutionary battles and the emergence of a new, independent nation.
Hoagies, Movies and Masterpieces
A simple walk through the streets of central Philadelphia will reveal the nation’s largest collection of public art amidst ample park space and well-planned, easily navigated streets. Stroll along West Market Street near City Hall and through LOVE Park, taking in the fantastic murals and sculptures along the way. For a more traditional experience, visit the masterpieces of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the steps of which were made famous by Sylvester Stallone in Rocky. For the most unique museum experience, visit the Mutter Museum, originally open to medical students and featuring a wide array of formaldehyde-filled cadavers and skeletal displays, along with some little known facts about the nation’s medical history.
Philadelphia is also known for its many famous architectural feats and noteworthy buildings. The City Hall, completed in 1900, is the world’s tallest load-bearing masonry structure. Another Historic Landmark, the Philadelphia Savings Fund Society building is considered to be America’s first International Modernist skyscraper and also home of the first ever savings bank in the United States. On a smaller scale, Philadelphia is known for the homes of Benjamin Franklin and Edgar Allen Poe.
Find airfare to Philadelphia around the first Friday of the month to enjoy the galleries and sights in Old City for free until late in the evening. When you have had enough of museums, stop into a pub or restaurant for an original Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich and some Italian ice for a true taste of Philadelphia. You will probably even want to order a few extra sandwiches for the flight home!

Ponte Vecchio is probably the most worldwide celebrated bridge in Florence: the modern architectural structure we can see today consisting of three stone arches, and followed in 1565 to a old wooden bridge built in the ancient Roman times. The first wooden building dates back to 972 and was smashed by a flood in Florence in 1117. The most beautiful architectural part is surely an opening midway of the bridge that offers a stunning view of the river Arno and its shoreline (The shore it’s pretty visible, because there’s not a lot of water in the river!).
The Bridge
Ponte Vecchio is Europe's oldest wholly-stone segmental arch bridge. There are three arches, the main arch of 30 meters, and the side ones of 27. The Medici family, in 1953, prohibited butchers from selling in Ponte Vecchio, thus enforcing the bridge dignity; the butchers were rapidly replaced by gold merchants.
The Shops and the Vasarian Corridor
Today, the bridge stages numerous jewellery shops trading antiquities and gold and silver selections. Above the shops runs the Vasary Corridor, a long passage built in 1565 for order of Cosimo I De' Medici Duke of Florence, which crosses the suspension bridge and link the Uffizi Gallery and Palazzo Pitti.
Ponte Vecchio, during World War II, has been the only Florence Bridge not destroyed by the Nazis during the retreat in the August of 1944; but the Arno flood, the one of 1966, severely damaged the bridge and the jewellery shops.
Ponte Vecchio is really the most evocative route you can take in Florence historical centre: probably one of the most romantic bridges in the entire world. The legend tells that if you lock a padlock and then you throw the key in the water, lovers can reach immortal love! I don’t know if it’s true, but it’s really impressive…

Such was the joy of a vacation to a place called Los Roques Venezuela. It is almost like a Pacific atoll, except it is at the bottom end of the Caribbean Sea, some 80 miles north of Caracas, and easily reached by plane, where you land on Gran Roque, which is where we stayed in a Posada.

Imagine the scene, a man & a woman stranded on a desert island with the sun beating down, and you did it on purpose!!
Such was the joy of a vacation to a place called Los Roques Venezuela. It is almost like a Pacific atoll, except it is at the bottom end of the Caribbean Sea, some 80 miles north of Caracas, and easily reached by plane, where you land on Gran Roque, which is where we stayed in a Posada.
For the uninitiated a Posada is a converted house or cottage, which takes paying guests in varying degrees of luxury at a corresponding price.
My wife and I chose the Posada Natura Viva, a very Italian Mediterranean Posada, right next to the beach. We chose it because of recommendation that we pick an Italian owned Posada as opposed to a locally owned one.
I have however diverted from the purpose of this account which is of course a Man & Woman stranded on a Desert Island with the sun beating down on us. In truth it was arranged by the aforementioned Posada Natura Viva, and so far as the sun beating down, they also supplied us with beach umbrellas, table and chairs, gazebos and beach towels.
Just close your eyes, and imagine a tiny spit of an island no more than 50 paces wide, one hundred paces long, in fact smaller than my garden at home. Imagine warm clear turquoise water, where you could sit in it like it was a bath, and drink a cool beer, feeling it was your own private island
I suspect they are some of the most important things to take if you are to be stranded on a desert island, even if was only for a day!! I should add the Posada also supplied a packed lunch, thermos with cool drinks, even if we did have to bring our own beers!!
Anyway this I suspect is what the Caribbean was like before us tourists arrived in our thousands.
It was fortunate we remembered our sunblock and high factor sun creams because apart from the shade that was supplied for us, there is none at all.
This has to be one of the most beautiful places on this earth, in fact it’s almost like a dream, why not go and see it for yourself, and become the Man & Woman stranded on a Desert Island for a day!!

A Kenya Safari Holiday taking in the Masai Mara, and wanting to see as much wildlife as possible, must include the top class Bateleur Camp at Kichwa Tembo, and here is why it should be a compulsory part of your luxury African safari.
Firstly if you are taking a Kenya Safari Holiday, then you must want to see the Great Migration between June and October, and the Bateleur Camp overlooks the sweeping Masai Mara plains, where during the migration you can witness the massive passing throngs of animals.
Bateleur camp has been deliberately designed to give the feel of the Kenya Safaris of the 20's and 30's and the nine tented suites in each of the two camps certainly do that.
The suites sit in a lush forest kept moist by the river, and are classically elegant with polished wooden floors, ensuite bathrooms with glass walled showers, twin hand basins and a separate flushing toilet.
Each tent has a private verandah, and most importantly it overlooks the vastness of the Masai Mara, and the plentiful game. Add to this a personal butler to cater to your every whim, and it is easy to see how your Kenya safari holiday in the Masai Mara becomes a top luxury African Safari!!
When we come to the public areas of the Camp, the sitting area is full of antiques and artifacts, and you can eat indoors or outdoors. Your butler will be only too happy if you want to eat on your verandah, or even a candlelit dinner under the African sky. The food by the way is quite superb, three great meals every day with wine and cocktails included. In addition no children to disturb your tranquility!!
The great thing about Bateleur is the situation overlooking the plains of the Masai Mara, so the activities will be geared to some extent to the time of year, dominated by the great migration. You will go on morning, and afternoon game drives, always with a qualified guide in your own open safari vehicle, so no having to stand to view. The game drives are included in your daily rate.
Add to this night drives in Kichwa Tembo's private concession, bush walks, Masai community visits, hot air ballooning, and you will have the safari of your life here.
To cap it all you can opt for early morning bush breakfasts, romantic sundowners looking out over the Masai Mara, and candlelit dinners overlooking the Mara river.
This safari camp also has the huge advantage of being in the exclusive West Mara, so at no time will your safari be in the company of dozens of other vehicles.
Bateleur Camp is a must as part of your Kenya Safari Holiday, and if it is a luxury African Safari you want, don't miss it!!

Your Kenya Safari Holiday could well start at Amboseli, not only because Amboseli National Park is only an hour by air from Nairobi, but also because the wildlife viewing is top class all the year round, and the views of Mt. Kilimanjaro in the background are truly spectacular.
As a park Amboseli is comparatively small, being less than 400 sq km, but it does boast over 50 of the lrger species of mammal, and over 400 species of birds.
It is also the home of the Maasai people, tall proud and brave, and nomadic, so there is evidence of their abandoned villages because they move wherever, and whenver the cattle grazing is used up. The cattle's damage to the grassland, added to the sheer numbers of animals along with the popularity of Amboseli, the huge number of tourists, their four wheel drive vehicle damage, has meant a restriction in where vehicles can go.
Having said all of that Amboseli is a great place to start your Kenya Safari Holiday because of the numbers of game that you can view, and the sheer beauty of seeing the game on your Kenya Safari Holiday against the backdrop of the snow covered Mt. Kilimanjaro.
The centre area of Amboseli national park is basically a dried up lake, and swamps and springs fed by the melted snow, from underground rivers originating on Kilimanjaro give the animals permanent sources of water even during the periods of drought. The best place to view game on your Kenya safari holiday is around the swamps, and there is a great place to go called Observation Hill.
The big question of course is what game will you see on your Kenya Safari Holiday to Amboseli?
The list will incude baboon, vervetmonkey, lion, cheetah, elephat, zebra, hippo, black rhino, oryx, wildebest, gerenuk, impala, and gazelle.
Amongst the camps you need to check out for your Kenya safari Holiday in Amboseli includes Amboseli Serena Lodge, Ol Tukai Lodge, Amboseli Sopa Lodge, Tortllis Camp, and just north of Amboseli is Porini Camp.

A Kenya Safari Holiday must include a visit to the Aberdare National Park, not only because a visit to Treetops possiblt the most famous safari lodge is Kenya is here, but also because of the amazing scenery, and the variety of wildlife that can be found.
Aberdare National Park is a great Kenya Safari destination for both these reasons.
The Park varies from around 7000 feet to 14000 feet so there is everything from moorland to rainforests, bamboo forests to mountain peaks, all broken up by deep river valleys with streams rivers and beautiful waterfalls.
This in turn means a large range of wildlife to view on your safari holiday and Aberdare National Park of course has te best known safari lodge in the world which is Treetops. At Treetops and the Ark, both of which are treehouse hotels, where the walkways and rooms are up in the sky in the forest canopy. They are marvellously situated beside waterholes and natural salt licks, there is all day and all night game viewing without leaving the hotel, thanks to the floodlighting. There is even a bell system in the room to waken guests if a good sighting arrives in the hours of darkness!! There is even an underground viewing hide so close to the waterhole, that you could almost reach out and touch.
The great spread of height in the Park means different species in different environments, and up high the moorland is very reminiscent of the Scottish Highlands, butat 10,000 feet the bamboo thickets hide the bongo a rare and elusive forest antelope.
If you have come to see the big five,then elephants dominate the waterholes, and lions hve to give way. Leopards can be sighted there but mostly a night.
The Park also contains large numbers of black rhino.
Aberdare National Park is not a malaria area because of the height, butrecautions must continue to be taken, because you will be coming from or going to spots where Malaria is a real danger.
In summary no Kenya Safari holiday would be complete without visiting Aberdare.
