All About Worldwide City-Traveling http://balashiha.su/?p=774 http://balashiha.su/?p=774#respond Sat, 23 Apr 2011 01:24:47 +0000 http://balashiha.su/?p=774 All About Worldwide City-Traveling

Our modern world is something very fantastic, when you look at all the travel opportunities we have, and all these many ways to ride. This world shines only beautiful and bright, what could be there a problem. And we have all these buses, trains, ships, airplanes, to get to any place in the entire world with ease.
What is the truth.
It is the individual, who decides, to go for a vacation, but actually many don’t. They think, spending money for it is pure luxury and staying at home would easily make up for it. But this is not completely true. Living all year long at home, with planning for new furniture, or saving for better car or TV, does not bring the necessary satisfaction. Real relaxation from stress, workload and all the other ongoing responsibilities, does not take place in making one’s home look better, putting up expensive wallpaper, or driving a more attractive car.
Personal relaxation is proven as being something complete different than just money, car or TV. It is a very intimate spiritual thing, and cannot get measured up with luxury. Relaxation is, where one is alone or with one’s family and has lots of time together. It will create new joy and happiness with talking about things, never said since a long time. It may happen to be the very first moment, where daddy really talks freely to his children and is finding out by surprise, that the son is not as good in Math and needs some help. The wife is happy since ever, realizing that everybody is together, getting close attention, and here and there a kiss with some very lovely whispered words. This all did not happen since a long time. It is the moment, a family can re-union and makes new plans for the next year. This is much better, than any other plan made during the entire year, only for one’s job or for a WAL-Mart shopping cart.
This is the truth. Now let’s see, what can be really done.
An educated person knows, that there are several very different possibilities, how to spend vacation time most wisely. One should know them and choose the one, which fits best to the interests and also circumstances of the family. There should be a talk with all together after dinner.
Where does everybody wants to go, and how many people is it. Does the majority want to swim and lay sunbathing on a beach, or do they want to swim, but also climb the mountains? What will be the best destination? Flight tickets for a family, might be more expensive than just the gasoline for a car, but it might waste lots of valuable vacation time, driving there. But an intelligent evaluation on all the asked for travel possibilities will then discover, what is the best deal for this year, with the most fun and variety, everybody would like to enjoy.
The main actions for selecting the right destination from several offers of real value, are
1. Sitting together and talking about everybody’s ideas and personal likings.
2. To get an overall agreement, what the best solution is for a decent destination.
3. The money has to be somehow made available, so one can book and pay.
4. The tickets and plans are in everybody’s hands now, waiting for the adventurous trip to happen.
An ideal solution can be beaches, where Florida has some very excellent locations for that, or let’s take a cruise, the offers are pretty cheap and the environment of a ship can give you an exciting change in atmosphere. If you are able to spend some more money, then go more international. Europe is the most attractive area for having the most beautiful cities and places, and one can learn about other exciting civilizations and people.
But the main point is, you take your family this year and go. Surprise them all a bit with some exotic hotel and flight booking.

Ski Holidays – When’s Good to Go http://balashiha.su/?p=7764 http://balashiha.su/?p=7764#respond Sun, 20 Feb 2011 03:06:51 +0000 http://balashiha.su/?p=7764 Ski Holidays – When’s Good to Go?

The ski season lasts about five months and relies on one thing: snow. But depending on which month from December to April that you decide to take your ski holiday, your experience can vary quite significantly.

Early season ski holidays
‘Early season’ is generally classified as early December until about Christmas time (although the season can begin earlier in selected high-altitude resorts). It’s not easy to know how good the snow will be at this point, but December ski holidays can be superb if you’re lucky enough to get a dump of snow. Prices are lower and the slopes are quieter – so you could be in for a treat if the right weather hits.

Christmas and New Year ski holidays
There’s no place like the mountains for feeling the Christmas spirit. As such, prices do go up for this time of year, but the magic of a white Christmas speaks for itself. And with plenty of events put on by ski resorts such as fireworks and torch-lit processions down the mountain, it’s a great time to visit for a family ski holidays in particular.

January ski holidays
As the years go by, snowfall patterns become increasingly hard to predict, however this is historically a month rich in snowfall. This means it’s perhaps less appealing to fair weather skiers and those shying away from the lower temperatures. However, prices go down in January as a result so it can be a great time to catch some powder. You might decide it’s a good time to get ski-in ski-out accommodation to avoid trudging about too much. Alternatively, treat yourself to a ski holiday with a high-end operator such as Abercrombe & Kent, Kuoni, Oxford Ski Company or Scott Dunn who run a driver service in Courchevel 1850, St Anton and Val d’Is?re to transport you and your skis to and from the slopes each day.

February ski holidays
By now, there is likely to be a good snow-base wherever you are. However, the slopes are generally quite busy at this time, especially in France where half term is spread across the whole month!

Spring ski holidays
From mid-March until the end of April, things get a little warmer – wonderful for many reasons. The snow is a touch softer in the mornings. Longer days means you can take long lunches in sunglasses whilst sipping a beer and getting a tan, and continue skiing until 5pm. Children are happy in the more gentle temperatures. Apr?s-ski fun and games can often be found outdoors as the sun goes down. You could even opt for a chalet with an outdoor hot-tub, to prolong the joys of being outside later in the evenings. It’s a great time for a ski holiday.

Summer ski holidays
It’s not the first thing that springs to mind for your summer holiday, but in Alpine ski resorts with a glacier (such as Tignes or Zermatt) you can enjoy early morning skiing on a few high slopes, and find yourself in a bikini after lunch, or on a mountain-bike somewhere amongst the pine trees. Alternatively, head to the mountains in Chile or New Zealand. Summer ski holidays can actually be fabulously varied if you head to the right destination.

Discover Cambrils in Costa Dorada http://balashiha.su/?p=2689 http://balashiha.su/?p=2689#respond Sun, 29 Aug 2010 08:25:12 +0000 http://balashiha.su/?p=2689 Discover Cambrils in Costa Dorada

A little further south along the Costa Dorada from Salou, is the holiday town of Cambrils. It is apparent that, although Cambrils welcomes visitors and provides for them, it has never lost its original character as a fishing town. this is also a reason why Costa Dorada hotels and Costa Dorada apartments are still an insider’s tip.

Like all resorts on this stretch of Spanish coastline, Cambrils offers loads of glorious beaches. The sand is golden, the sea is warm and shallow; it is quite safe for youngsters of all abilities.

The sea also provides a major venue for water sports, which are very well catered for here. Visitors can try windsurfing, jet skis, sailing, diving, pedallos or hire a boat and sail along the coast. Sailing and windsurfing are particularly good as the wind is very favourable.

Off the beach, there are an equal number of facilities to be active. There are three excellent golf courses within easy reach, plus a municipal pitch and putt for all to enjoy. The local sports centres provide activities for youngsters in and out of the swimming pools.

To go further a field, hire a horse and go trekking in the nearby countryside. Or ride a bicycle and explore the delta of the river Ebro, with its unusual wildlife and rare plants.

For those who enjoy exploring on foot, the town of Cambrils is a must. The winding, narrow streets, flanked by traditional buildings with flower decorated balconies, are a joy. There are many original old buildings and a good enough selection of churches, castles, monuments, municipal buildings and towers to satisfy anyone.

Cambrils’ real claim to fame on the Costa Dorada, however, is its cuisine. It is regarded as the gastronomic capital of the coast. As well as serving many traditional Catalan dishes, there is a custom of modern and original cooking, but still based on the excellent local produce.

Fish and seafood play a major part in the cuisine of the town, as they are landed daily at the fish quay and sent straight to the restaurants from the fish markets. These are matched by the superb olive oil produced in the region, which is some of the best in Spain.

For those whose holiday is incomplete without shopping, Cambrils offers a wide variety of outlets. Based mainly in the old town and the port quarter, there is large selection of boutiques, tourist souvenir shops, local crafts and shops for everyday needs. To complete the shopping, one must wander round the two street markets, held each week in the port and the old town. Buy locally produced items to eat back at home and remind oneself of Cambrils.

The ancient Sardinian traditions will surprise you reading about the Bonacossa Family http://balashiha.su/?p=8280 http://balashiha.su/?p=8280#respond Fri, 23 Jul 2010 05:22:26 +0000 http://balashiha.su/?p=8280 The ancient Sardinian traditions will surprise you reading about the Bonacossa Family

The Stazzo gallurese is a typical building of the Gallura countryside, surrounded by Tanche (fields), closed by a stone wall, the Stazzo was a completely self-sufficient old fashioned farmhouse: every activity was to maintain the family, nothing was left to chance, they produced everything needed to live. The term stazzo derives from the Latin “Statio, that is a place where you can stop, stay; a place, that presupposes the previous long and tiring journeys in search of good pasture for animals. We find this kind of stable accommodation in Gallura, from about 1500, it appears at the end of the feudal period and the feud certainly inspired it in work and management of resources. It was frequently built on a hill, to dominate the land, and on the front was well cared “lu Pastrucciali” (the square), place of arrival, departure and storage for horses. The wall outside the Stazzo was organized for the temporary stationing of the horses, with a long granite bench above which were some iron rings to tie the horse in waiting. A little further along was a courtyard, with the garden for fresh vegetables. There were usually many plants of almond, peach, fig trees, whose fruits were dried and used for food. Nearby there was generally a big well to draw the water. There was also the vineyard and garden. There was also a room called “Camasinu”, to save the cheese and wine. In some cases, the same room was used to prepare cheese and butter: there was a fire in the middle of the room for this. In some stazzi, like ours in laglientu.com, are still visible traces of this operation: the old wooden beams of juniper were blackened by smoke during the years of fire burning. The women of the family took care of the children, the organic vegetable and poultry, the economic management of the house, while the men were working to the most demanding tasks. In the first years of 1900, there were, in Gallura region, more than six thousand stazzi, scattered in the countryside, and these farms were frequently visited by roving, “li Stragni”, which in Stazzi still found shelter and warm food for many days and returned the hospitality to the hosts doing small jobs, or simply telling stories of other places around the hearth. That’s why in Sardinia B&B and agriturismo or turismorurale B&B are so traditional. From the middle of 1900, people began to move to the cities and industries of the italian peninsula: the Gallura countryside was abandoned and the Stazzi remained closed for a long time. Ours was saved and living as we still leave here. Stazzo Bonacossa  was built at the end of the 1600 century and inhabited by the same family, although restored and expanded, it still however, retains the spirit of the true Gallura, its secrets, joys and sorrows of those who lived there. Antonella Bonacossa and her family continue to live there with a big passion for the traditions and respect in the past. People “la jenti” Bonacossa appeared in Sardinia at the end of 1600, we found written traces by the Bishop’s Curia of Tempio, from which the Loiri area depended at that time. The births and deaths of all this area were also recorded in Tempio until the middle of last century, when even small municipalities acquired the Registry. Bonacossa came with high probability from Corsica, as many of the families in Gallura did, probably driven by political or social issues. Bonacossa  settled in the Gallura – region buying up the land over the centuries that is currently held. They were always breeders of wild cattle, an activity that needed a lot of land for pastures. Stazzo Bonacossa was the first home of the family and still retains all characteristics of the original Stazzo Gallurese, the elongated structure with local granite in the three-room classic, the complicated system of juniper original beams, the old wood-burning oven, built with dry clay bricks, the bench for the horses, and the niches for the preservation of food. The Bonacossa always pass the names of its firstborn sons, so that Pietro to Raimondo to Pietro till nowadays.
