And many game reserves and places of interest have specially adapted accommodation and wheelchair-friendly facilities and walks. Many short trails also have Braille interpretation plaques.

Flamingo Tours specialises in tours for people with disabilities.

You would be amazed what some wheelchair-dependent people have done in South Africa – abseiled off Table Mountain; dared the highest bungy jump in the world at Bloukrans Bridge; tubed the awesome Storms River Gorge; hiked most of the Outeniqua Trail (this was a hard one); flown a microlight; and learned to scuba dive. The sky’s the limit. Oh yes, and skydived. (This was not all done by the same person!)

Accessible opportunities in the natural environment

South African National Parks, as national assets, should be accessible destinations to everyone regardless of their mental, sensory or physical capabilities.

The Delta Environmental Centre (Gauteng Province)has the 180metre long Sasol Sensory Trail which was initially conceptualised as a short environmental education trail for disabled people. Through consultation with Eco-Access, it was finally designed as an accessible interactive environmental education experience for the hundreds of learners who pass through the Centre on a weekly basis, including learners who happen to be disabled.
The trail is simple, paved, has wide pathways and many interesting stopping points. It blends in with the surrounding environment and is based on the fact that the Centre offers personal interpretation to all groups that visit it.

The de Wildt Cheetah and Wildlife Centre (North West Province) has a programme called ‘Reach for the Wild’. An accessible trail, named the ‘Rob and Julie Filmer Sensory Trail’, allows all people, including disabled people, the opportunity to experience the African bush. It was also initially conceptualised as a trail for disabled people but now forms the basis of all de Wildt’s environmental education programmes. The environmental education centre is accessible and available for all those who participate in these programmes. Again, this Centre benefits from personal interpretation of the environment being offered to all groups.

SANParks Boulders Beach Boardwalk (Western Cape) is another example where everyone has the opportunity to visit the penguins on the beach using the boardwalk.
Owing to negative pressure from the surrounding community, parking and access to the boardwalk is extremely difficult without prior arrangements being made. However, once on the boardwalk, anyone can use it.

For many other trails and programmes in various parts of South Africa see Eco-Access, including, apart from those mentioned above, the Rob Filmer Lichen Trail at the Blyde River Canyon Nature Reserve in the Mpumalanga province, the Rhino Trail at the Berg-en-Dal camp at the Kruger National Park in the Mpumalanga province, the Fossil Trail at the Karroo National Park in the Northern Cape province, the PPC Discovery trail at the Addo Elephant National Park in the Eastern Cape province, the Dragonfly walkway and Jacana Bridge and the Kingfisher Birdhide at the Nylsvley Nature Reserve in the Limpopo province, The Palmiet Hiking Trail at the Hottentots Holland Nature reserve in the Western Cape Province and the bird hide and walkway at the Blesbokspruit Nature reserve in the Gauteng Province.

Holiday villas have long been of a certain design type – white walls, simple furniture, usually including a fold away bed plus some rather naff print of beaches and sunsets.
But, as people are becoming increasingly interested in interior design, so holiday villas are changing to become more design orientated. Owners of properties and agencies involved in villa rentals are increasingly looking to create interesting, stylish designs that go beyond the bland and utilitarian.
At the top end of the market especially, holiday villas are more likely to be interior designed to create a stylish look.  Swimming pools might have striking designs on the floors, made from tiles while inside designers are choosing individuals pieces of furniture which make every property different from the range of holiday villas on offer.
Antiques are one way to make a luxury holiday villa stand out. Technology is another area where properties are becoming more luxurious and sophisticated. Home entertainment systems that are elegant and unobtrusive and that offer a wide variety of music and films are increasingly available in homes – so why not in holiday villas?
Art is another area in which variety and individualism is important. Holiday villas at the upper end of the market are more likely to have individual paintings and prints rather than mass produced images on the walls. Choosing something that is not only striking and attractive but which has been created by a local artist helps emphasise the uniqueness of the property and anchor it in its surroundings.
You might not think that you can do much with beds – but superking sized beds are increasingly in demand in the best holiday villas as are bathrooms with luxury showers and Jacuzzis.
Those looking for luxury villa rentals not only appreciate these things, but are beginning to regard them as standard.

Holland certainly has a reputation with travelers. Known for having a very liberal attitude on social issues such as prostitution and drugs, the reputation is not always deserved. Yes, marijuana and prostitution is legal, but there is so much more to the country. Many look at Amsterdam as Holland, but visitors know there is much more. If you desire to travel to Holland, also known as the Netherlands, don’t miss these attractions.

Amsterdam

Simply put, Amsterdam has something for everyone. The city is an incredibly beautiful collection of old world European architecture elegantly partitioned by canals. In truth, the city is built on roughly 90 small islands, although you can hardly tell. Transportation is best undertaken on foot or by bicycle. With a cool climate, you’ll barely break a sweat.

Contrary to popular opinion, Amsterdam is not just a city of liberal policies. Yes, coffee bars sell things other then just coffee. Yes, there are women in windows that are awfully friendly. Still, there is so much more to experience in the city.

Van Gogh Museum

The Rijksmuseum Vincent van Gogh houses the world’s largest collection of the work of Vincent van Gogh. From his early work, the museum contains 700 artistic works and 850 letters. After moving to Paris in 1886, van Gogh entered an impressionist period, of which the museum contains a large collection. Perhaps the most interesting thing about the collection is the organization. The entire collection is arranged chronologically from the first to last work. As you walk, you can clearly see the evolution of this master’s skill.

Anne Frank House

Who hasn’t read the intense diary of Anne Frank? Hiding from the Nazis, she and her family lived in an annexed section of an apartment in Amsterdam for two years. In 1957, the house was donated to the Anne Frank Foundation and turned into a museum. A visit will send chills through your spine. The museum contains films, the annexed area and the original notes of Anne Frank. A must see for anyone traveling to Amsterdam.

Beyond Amsterdam

For those needing a break from Amsterdam, there is much to be seen in Holland. If you are looking for a color explosion, consider taking the bulb cycling tour out of Noordwijk. Windmills your thing? Head to the De Zaan district to see them in action. Prefer to spend a night in a castle? Try the Castle Hotel Engelenburg, which even lets you ruin a good walk by playing golf.

Travel to Holland and you won’t regret it. Whether you want to “investigate” the countries liberal policies or simply bike through fields of tulips, Holland will satisfy.

Miami has so much for you to see and do it can be difficult to find a place to begin. But regardless of whether you are visiting with the family or just on your own, you should definitely make time to see the Miami Seaquarium.

This is a huge venue that takes up nearly forty acres of land and it is very easy to reach from downtown Miami. The best thing about it is that it provides an educational visit as well as one that everyone really enjoys. You’ll certainly leave knowing a lot more about marine mammals and fish than you did when you arrived.

There are various shows which form a part of the entertainment you can look forward to on the day. For example you can watch a killer whale take part in a special show that gives you an idea of the sheer size and skills it has. And of course no visit would be complete without seeing the dolphins showing off their incredible intelligence. You may not know that the dolphin pool was used in the filming of the famous television show, “Flipper”, as well.

Make sure you grab a map as you enter the Miami Seaquarium, as this will show you where all the exhibits and shows are. You can then plan a route round the venue that takes in all the show times as well as the rest of the exhibits.

There is a sea lion show there too, which always draws the crowds as it tends to be quite amusing to watch. Salty the sea lion definitely likes playing to a crowd, so make sure you go along to see the display.

The Seaquarium is really a half day out experience, and when you need to stop for a break you will find plenty of places to do just that. There are eating places and seating areas provided along the way, so you can enjoy seeing everything and taking time out for a bite to eat as well. The park is nicely spread out and no matter which route you take you will see everything you need to see without missing anything out.

As well as the more traditional sea lions and dolphins, you can also come up close to crocodiles and alligators while you are in the park. It’s all quite safe of course, but it will probably still send shivers up your spine!

If you want to stay in downtown Miami you will find lots of Miami hotels that you can book a room in. This is an ideal position from which to enjoy everything that Miami has to offer, including the Miami Seaquarium and all the creatures it holds within.

The Kwai River Bridge was made famous by the 1960s movie about a bamboo bridge being built by British Soldiers in Burma during World War II. This movie was mostly fiction, the bridge is of concrete/metal construction and it is actually located in Thailand. Thailand Tourism authority offers a great service of train tours. These are low cost trips that you can take that range from day trips to long weekends to various scenic parts of Thailand. Most of the trips begin and end in the Hua Laphong Rail Station, the main rail hub for passengers for the entire country. Pictures of this station are shown above. The station is clean and organized, but beware, it is also VERY busy. As a side note: Thailand uses their rail and bus system as their major artery moving people and products throughout their borders.
The tour that I choose was a day trip that took me almost to the Thai border with Myanmar, ending in the Soiyak Water Falls but making stops in Phra Pathom Chedi, Bridge over the Rive Kwai, the “Death Railway”, and the Kanchanabury WWII Cemetery. I will describe each of these stops in detail below. The trip was a full day, starting at 7 am and not returning to Hua Laphong Station until after dark, around 7 pm. The train was un-air-conditioned but was comfortable, at least while we were moving.
Phra Pathom Chedi
Our first stop was at the temple called Phra Pathom Chedi , The Temple main feature was a huge pagoda (see the pictures below. The stop was just long enough to walk from the train station to the Temple without too much rush. To get to the temple we walk through a city market area where you can get anything from a quick snack to a glass of ice coffee.
Bridge over the River Kwai and the “Death Railway
The Bridge was made famous by a 1960’s film of the same name. The film, however was in fact fiction based loosely on the events surrounding this bridge. I will not go into detail of the differences between the film and this bridge but will let that up to you. Briefly, the bridge is located in Thailand, not Burma but many people (mostly British soldiers) did give their lives building this bridge for the Japanese during World War II. This is why this railway is known as the “Death Railway” in Thailand. The rail line leading from the Kwai River Bridge to the Soiyak Water Falls appears treacherous but is well maintained and safe for travel. The railway follows the river and often has sheer cliffs overlooking the river and can be quite scenic. However, these conditions lead to many deaths during WWII.
Kanchanaburi WWII Cemetery
The WWII Cemetery in Kanchanaburi is filled with the bodies of the people who gave their lives constructing the Kwai Bridge for the Japanese Army. This stop is quite sobering knowing these men gave their lives building the rail line that was we were just on.
Soiyak Water Falls
The Soiyak Water Fall is the final stop of this trip and it is quite refreshing. The waterfall is augmented in areas with concrete and being an geologist is could tell immediately that it wasn’t natural. The industrious Thai People have taken and natural water supply and made is a tourist stop. The surrounding area is a natural area and protected from development, which is good. There are hiking trails leading to the water falls source; a small stream filled with small fish and is icy cold. Also along the trail is a few caves to explore. The Thai People find these areas sacred, as evidenced by the presence of sacred images located in the caves. The trail are quite interesting, having many native plants and animals to observe along the way.
At the very end of the Railway sits an historic train, once used by the Japanese during the construction of the railway. The plaque commemorating the train and the people who died in its construction gave the trip some meaning for me.
We returned to the Hua Laphong Rail Station rather late and I was quite tired, but the trip was worthwhile and I would recommend this trip to anyone interested in learning some about historical Thailand. For more interesting travel ideas please visit my website: www.apllc-connect.com/travel/.

Mumbai – formerly Bombay – is a city that is built on a long, thin strip of island that lies just off the west coast of Maharashtra, western India. Mumbai is the business and financial centre of the country and has an eclectic mix of old and new, where glittering skyscrapers and designer boutiques intertwine with grand colonial structures and relics.
Usually people traveling to India from London (UK) book air ticket to there in hurry without enquiring about the discounted airline deals and cheap air fares. But the fact is that, if you take out some time and thoroughly inquire about the airlines to Indonesia, you can really get exciting deals on air ticket and get cheap ticket to Mumbai.

Several leading international airlines offer cheap flight to Indonesia from USA. Many airlines from UK operate daily flights for major cities like Mumbai, Delhi and Hyderabad.

Sight Seeing: There are numerous attractions and market places that attract millions of travelers round the year like Marine Drive, Cowpat Beach, Airman Point, Crawford Market, Fort Bombay Stock Exchange, Gateway of India, Hanging Garden, Collabra, Prince of Wales Museum, Essel World, Film City, Haji Ali, Chatrapati Shivaji Terminus, Kalbadevi etc
India has always been an important destination for travelers, be it for business, tourism, spiritual or adventure. During the last 8-10 years there has been tremendous growth in tourism industry. There are ample numbers of accommodation from 5 star hotel chains to 3 star and the budget motels.
Most other sites make offers of low prices like myvacations, but they come up short. A flight from London to Mumbai is at $354 on Oman Air. The plane and airlines is top notch but the price is not necessarily cheap and there is a stopover in Muscat.

If travelling to London and visiting some Markets to get a few bargains is your idea of good fun I have just the perfect guide for you. Having lived here most of my adult life and worked in Camden Market for over five years and in Greenwich Market for well over fifteen years I had a good opportunity to find out about every aspect of the markets. But in this article I will concentrate on the fun parts mostly.

Greenwich Market is one of the most unique market place you can visit as cheap imports are not allowed in, general quality of the merchandise is above average. Best time to visit is the weekends.

Greenwich Antique Market is the next stop and if the weather is good you wouldn’t want to leave. Lots of stalls, lots of stuff to look and search through, open weekends only.

Camden Market, This is a tricky place to go to and keep your wallet safe. Very busy, lots of action literally thousands of stalls and crammed with tens of thousands of people every weekend. Do not rely on Camden Town Tube station and use Chalk Farm instead.

Stables Market is next to Camden and Camden Lock Market, trendy clothing and antiques are the most sought after goods here; again weekends only and use Chalk Farm Tube if you can.

Spitalfields Market is open every day but busier on the weekends. At the heart of city of London and the East End you can find from art to organic food, antiques and hand crafts.

Portobello Road, well we have all seen this place in the film Notting Hill, you will not bump in to Julia or Hugh but none the less still full of interesting characters and stalls. From fruit and veg to antiques are sold and anything in between is not missed either. Have fun.

Roman Road Market is a typical British street market with quite a good range of fresh flowers and plants on offer. Usual fruit and vegetable stalls along with clothing and household items are on mass.

All the above places have more cafes and restaurants then I can possibly list or review, however it is quite unlucky to find one that is below average. So have fun and let me have your views too.

Seychellesis a group of about 115 islands, located northeast of Madagascar. There are five main islands; Mah?, Praslin, La Digue, Fr?gate, and North Island. Much of Seychelles is protected sanctuaries devoted to preserving and amazing array of flora and fauna. The giant Alabra Tortoises are fascinating and should not be missed when visiting the islands, Birds huge bird colonies can be found on certain islands

While tourism is absolutely their main industry, the Seychelle Islands are a relatively unknown vacation hideaway. If you are looking for a snappy nightlife you might be a little disappointing. One of the charms of the Seychelles is that they are not commercial and overdeveloped. The group of islands offer the perfect Honeymoon getaway.

Beau Vallon

This beach is located on the island of Mah? on the northern side, and is one of the more popular beaches on Mah?. This long and sandy beach has magnificent views of North Island and Silhouette. There are various diving and water sport centers as well a Teddy’s Glass Bottom Boat Tours.

Anse Royale

This beach is the longest on Mah? and it provides beaches that are protected in most cases from choppy seas and provides a safe and comfortable swimming experience. This makes for very favorable conditions for swimming and beach fun from May to October.

Intendance Beach

This is a very wide beach, which provides huge swells that are favored by surfers. Multi-directional currents make it a little challenging at times to swim and the Banyan Tree Resort will notify swimmers of dangerous conditions with flags. Anse Intendance is one of the spots that turtles still nest.

Anse Cimitiere

Cimitiere is a very hidden beach and is quite hidden. Monsoon season is from May to October and is a time of large waves and dangerous surf. There are a few natural swimming pools created by protecting rocks on the beach. If you are looking for a nice change there is the inland forest that can be explored by horses from the Riding Centre Utegangar.

Port Launay

This is one of the most beautiful beaches on Mah? and is located on the west side of the island. This beach will have the largest population of beach goers on weekends. Swimming is great here and the beach is very well maintained.

Anse Georgette

Rated as one of the top 10 most beautiful beaches in the world, Anse Georgette is located on the island of Praslin. Only accessible by boat the beach offers the luxury of the Lemuria Resort. This is a favorite of Honeymooners because of the intimacy of the private beach.

Anse Bois de Rose

This beach is known for its fishing and there is a great spot for swimming located next to the hotel Coco de Mer.

Anse Source D’Argent

This beach is one of the most popular beaches in the Seychelles. Huge granite boulders separate it from Anse Lazio and make this a hotspot for filming and photography. This beach is a favorite for magazines as well as TV travel programs.

Anse Bamboos

Located on the island of Fr?gate, Anse Bamboos has the main hotel on the island. It boasts of has some currents but they are not too dangerous to swimmers and there is a lifeguard stationed here for your safety. Sun chairs with large shade umbrellas line the beach for your comfort.

Anse d’Est

Anse d’Est is located on the east side of North Island and this is where large coral beds are located just off the beach. The North Island Lodge offers a swimming pool, restaurant, library and diving center.

Great Gatsby Days

Great Gatsby Days honor F. Scott Fitzgerald and take place during the last weekend of March every year. This is somewhat of a Spring time festival and takes place at the Gatsby Social Club. Although the Gatsby Social Club was not founded after the hero in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel, The Great Gatsby, the club began hosting Great Gatsby Days during the late 1970s when the film of the same name hit the screen. It features the music of the 1920s as well as dancing contests and is something unique in the heart of Houston.

Houston Barbeque Fest

The Houston Barbeque Festival features barbeque foods such as ribs and chicken as well as other meats. Chefs prepare for this barbeque festival each year that also contests home made barbeque sauces.

Houston Film Festival

During the first two weeks of September each year, the Houston Film Festival convenes at the Angelika Film Center and Caf? in downtown Houston. Although this event does not rank on the same level as the Sundance Film Festival, it is a film festival that draws a crowd to the theater and generally features films with a southwestern theme.

Main Street Christmas Walk

Houston, unlike other major US cities, has a Main Street. Main Street is filled with older homes that have a certain charm to them and have been part of Houston for well over a hundred years. These homes are decorated for the holidays and you can participate in the Christmas Walk, although you may not feel like hot chocolate during this walk that occurs during the two weekends prior to Christmas. This is one way for you to get to see inside some of the most historic homes in town decorated with southwestern flair.

Houston is a city that is warm most of the year and comes alive with southwestern culture. From the food to the music, you will notice that this culture is sprinkled into all of the Houston annual events so do dro pby if you want some southwestern comfort!
