Paris Artificial Beaches

stela — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 07:02:18 +0000

If you feel like hitting the beach in France you don’t need to head for the coast. All you need to do is drop by to Paris. For the ninth year running, the city has built the artificial “Paris Beach” along the Seine with tons of recycled sand. Palm trees, beach umbrellas, and sprinklers are all available for the Parisian looking to relax.

Fancy Bars In Namibia Whit Some Hipster Names

stela — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 08:53:05 +0000

If you love travel, and you love bars… then you’ll love-love this series of Namibian bar photos. I am proud to bring you a consumer’s guide to the top ten bars in Namibia, should you be traveling there in the near future. I don’t have locations for any of these places so good luck finding them, but Namibia as I get to see in the Namibian tourist guide is not so hard to travel, with an experienced native guide I guess you will pretty soon be on the right way and tasting some goon Namibian beer. As I got to learn if countries had hobbies the United Kingdom and Germany’s hobbies would be football. Switzerland’s hobby would be behaving well. The United State’s hobby would be invading Iraq. Japan’s hobby would be scary toilets with lots of buttons. Namibia’s hobby would be beer. Most countries have something of which everyone is proud. Namibians have 11 language groups, a democracy, a bunch of different churches and a soccer team that regularly loses in regional and world championships. Namibian beer is brewed according to the ‘Reinheitsgebot’, an ancient German law that states that beer may contain only barley, malt, hops and water. Most Namibians will tell you that because the beer is so pure, you will not get a hangover. After seeing how the bars look like I guess that a hangover is not necessary. Hansa is the best beer in Namibia, so if you are in these bars, this is what you should order. Hansa rules.

Scariest Hanging Bridge Ever

More and less almost any hanging bridge is scary, but this particular one is definitely the winner. This hanging bridge is located at the southern province of Canas in Cuzco, Peru. The bridge is made fully of sear grass. I wish luck to ones who will cross over :D

Only In New Zealand: Eat This If You Dare

stela — Thu, 27 May 2010 11:00:07 +0000

Normally a small pleasant town with a population in the low thousands, Hokitika is being transformed every March by it’s annual Wilde Food Festival. This year festival was celebrating its 21st anniversary. This is a real gastronomic festival, or maybe it is better to say that this type of food is only for those with strong stomach. The Hokitika Wildfoods Festival is a celebration of the weird and wonderful in the world of food – with many interesting snacks that are unique to New Zealand’s West Coast region. To be honest, the idea of eating huh grubs and mountain oysters is something what I would very gladly pass. But as I got to learn, there on the food festival I learned that these people are willingly trying all of these delicatessen. I would be the only one not interested in giving a chance to these dishes . Everyone here are so happily chewing grasshoppers, huh grubs, and worm sushi, followed by shots of moonshine and Gorse Flower wine. I am not sure if this is exactly my cup of tea, but this is a respect given to the gastronomical gods.

Goreme Turkey

stela — Sat, 01 May 2010 09:30:25 +0000

Goreme, located among the “fairy chimney” rock formations, is a town in Cappadocia, a historical region of Turkey. It is in the Nevşehir Province in Central Anatolia and has a population of around 2,500 people.
Former names of the town have been Korama, Matiana, Maccan and Avcilar. When Goreme Valley nearby was designated an important tourist destination, a “center” for all tourism in Cappadocia, the name of the town was changed to Goreme for practical reasons.
The Goreme National Park (Goreme Milli Parklar in Turkish) was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1985.
The location of Goreme was first settled back in the Roman period. Christianity was then the prevailing religion in the region, which is evident from many rock churches that can still be seen today.
Among Goreme’s historically important sites are Ortahane, Durmus Kadir, Yusuf Koc and Bezirhane churches, in addition to the richly decorated Tokali Kilise, the Apple Church, and a number of homes and pigeon houses carved straight into the rock formations in the town.

It’s Always Sunny In California

stela — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 22:32:13 +0000

When someone says to me Southern California the first thing which crosses my mind is Long Beach, Hollywood, entertainment, amusement parks, sea, sun, beautiful people, movies, actors, well a lot of things crosses my mind. When I think about holidays, sun, sand and sea I think about love to. When people are on vacation they are just relaxed and more freely meet people. Be the one who will meet wonderful and great people and make friends and maybe find the love of your life. You can never tell. A person can never tell what will happen next. You can make vacation deals with touristy agency and leave it all up to them. They have experience and knowledge how to please you that is their job. If you are the type of person who likes to see lot of things but also to be near or on the weather the best thing which you can chose is a cruising. This can be the best thing you had experienced. You can all do it online, the booking and checking too. Visit all what this sunny State can offer you and even more. This is the best way to spend some time with your family and even with friends; there is a lot of entertainment for everyone.
