Cayman Islands -Everything For Tourists

I was really shocked when I've seen this photo. I looked for information and photos for my next post about the Caribbean Pirates and the Cayman Islands. Those were desert islands in XVIII century but many ships, specially English ships, visited them to add tortoises to their menu. There was an enormous population of tortoises in that period there.

Well, when I saw the photo I remembered Steve Irwin.It seems to me, it was the same species of ray-fish that killed him... Oh yes, you are right, is unprobably that somebody would allow the tourists to come near these fishes if they were dangerous but...

????????? ?????? ?? ?????????? ????????
�????????? ?????? ?? ?????????? ????????� ?? ??????.??????

And here is the tortoise from the species living on these islands. The residents of the islands grow them now. In fact, I found different reviews where the persons that visited these islands tell about it. The stories in those reviews are so enthusiastic, that I began to dream about such a vacation too. Interesting cruises and swimming in this clear water every day -what could be better?

Springtime in Edinburgh

Finally the spring is here and we can enjoy the sun, the mild wind and the beauties of Edinburgh that seems to become younger too. Our Edinburgh apartments allow us to see all the magnificent views of the city in the morning shine, and they call us to go out and to permit to the sun to caress the skin. Edinburgh has many places to visit in any period. Some of the most important museums of the UK, for example. Don't you know them? The National Gallery of Scotland where you can see the works of Velazquez, Cézanne, Monet and Gauguin. I adore Impressionists and this attraction is irresistible for me. The other is The Modern Museum of Scotland where you can learn more about culture and the history of Scotland. In the Royal Museum of Scotland you can "meet" famous sheep Dolly, and many other scientific discoveries will present you the world from the side you've never thought about.

 

But we do not want to enter the buildings in this splendid spring day. What is better than an airing in the Gardens of the Princes Street? There are only two steps from our Edinburgh accommodation till this shopping district of the Old Town. The street divides the historical center in two parts. The gardens were planned together with the streets in XVIII century and built in XIX century, and that is why they have that fashion of that gorgeous fine age. Standing in the shadow of the Castle we have a great look on the city. Tourists and townspeople are here too. It's the place of the meetings for all those who are in Edinburgh in any period, but spring sun makes it so that nobody can stand aside and do not come here.

Wikio Shopping For the Traveller


A very interesting notice I'll tell you today. After great success in France and other european countries, Wikio, a European search engine, launches Wikio Shopping for UK, an innovative way to shop online. Why is it so important for us? I'll explain to you here why I like it. Suppose we are looking for a hotel in a place that we want to go for our next vacation. I'm sure it'll amaze you. First of all, the welcome page presents all the categories clearly, with photos, so that you do not have to lose time searching for the location for product of your interest. When I clicked on the category "hotels", I remained literally with my mouth open. There was a list of cities divided by countries! You know, I have blogger friends from Malaysia that like to go to Kuala Lumpur and tell us so much about it, so now I dream about visiting it. I decided to explore hotels of this city. And here comes the best part of Wikio Shopping. The main list of the hotels -and there are 151 in my search results- gives price, description and stars. You can also see if there are photos and reviews from the visitors of this hotel. When you click the name of the hotel, you pass to it's main page, where you can find price comparisons of the proposals from different agencies. There is a star rating, user opinions and photos. It's very important to see photos of the hotel, as you know. From this point of view, if the clients take photos of their hotel, it's the best sign that they liked it. Ah, forgot, there is the map and similar products too. In some words: I remain impressed and content of this new possibility to find what I need online.

Metropolitan Borough Birmingham

The photos are from Wikipedia
My friends that know Greek language told me, we do not use the word "metropolis" in correct way today. It means infact "mother town", the town from where these or that persons come. To explain the concept: the greek population of Italian colonies (like Neapolis or Pithekoussai and all the others) could come from different towns of Greece. Those towns were metropolis for that Greeks.

I read from time to time about motropolitan boroughs in UK and those mean agglomerations of persons near this or that city. Near London, near Birminghem in this case.

The city has for example the population about 700 000 persons but in the metropolitan borough live more than 2 millions.

This part of UK is the West Midlands county and the metropolitan borough of Birminghem is so big today to cover the territory of other counties. So, don't be mistaken if you plan to go to this city. We speak now about Birminghem-Birminghem and not about it's distant approaches.

I read about this city in the news today and wanted to see some photos. So, I found some tooooo modern images like those you see here. And was surprised. This place was occupied by humans just about 11 000 years ago. It has to be an old center there. But the persons visiting it seem to appreciate this ultra modern stile.

Infact, you see the silhouettes of the antic buildings.
Now, I really want to visit this town because I don't understand how is it possible to put together such different mentalities. As for me, I surely would preserve the historical integrity of the landscape.

Edinburgh Is Number One For Romance

Once in the year, there is a special period, when every relationship can fly up. Even if you have problems with your partner, this period is the best time for getting it right. I write about the Valentine's Day. Book your Edinburgh accommodation -and forget about the noisy reality.

Make an unusual treat to your partner and pass a romantic weekend in Edinburgh. This city is very special because it brings romance in people, who knows why. It can be for the cobbled streets and interesting pubs Or the striking castle gives out the emanations of special energy. It is possible that the spirit of Mary, Queen of Scots, appeals to all couples in love...

Get lyrical, inspire the air of romance and feel loved up by this magic place. There were thousands of writters, poets and painters that did it before you. It's enough to think about it and plan your trip remembering the possibilities of nightlife too. Edinburgh accommodation can be choosed not far from the places of your main interest. From there you can visit theaters or partecipate on cruises for example.

Don't forget your Valentine's dinner. There are many romantic settings where you will find not only relaxed atmosphere and memorable meal. Restaurants offer special Valentine's Menu, it's clear. There are champagne testings and great wine lists. But the most interesting is the locally sourced Brittish and Scottish food. When you plan your romantic weekend, search for great chefs and dedicated places. You go away in Edinburgh to taste THAT life, so enjoy this great event.

For those who like shopping there are many attractions too. There are businesses that suit all your needs, where you can find absolutely unique and bespoke gifts in air of romance. Allow that all thiscreate a special atmosphere and feel loved up by the life.

The Winter Festival In Edinburgh

If you look for the very best place for your winter vacation, you have to think about winter festival in Edinburgh, Scotland's Capital. This city has many sides that attract tourists to visit it all year round. Vaste gardens in the centre of the town, fantastic medieval buildings and castle, houses with ghosts and not at least the traditional kitchen do not leave indifferent any heart. But the festival in winter is something completely special. Book your Edinburgh accommodation not far from the Old Town and enjoy all the possible spectacles and activities just under your windows. It's no matter, are you alown, with your friends or have little children. You will find appropriate entertainment even for babies there, because there are special programs for people of every age during this festival.

Edinburgh is sparkling. In this Fairyland you are not only a spectator. You can combine skating on the largest UK ice rinks, sliding, shows on open air with excellent shopping. The rinks have parts dedicated to the little children, if you look for family activities. Fable characters will play with them, and you can taste plates of traditional kitchen nearby. You can book your Edinburgh apartments not far from the places of your interest in the Old Town or in the New Town and live directly in the middle of the feast. From there is easy to visit the Winter Wonderland, Ferris Wheel, the Reindeer Gardens and surely the Royal Mile and Edinburgh Castle.

And don't be afraid to be not in time for the festival because it lasts for more than a month.

Winter Fable For Everybody

It's a pitty, if you pass your winter breaks not in Edinburgh, UK. There are other seasons to visit museums and exhibitions, believe me. In Edinburgh, you can dedicate all your time to the open air activities. The city has different gardens that are transformed in wonderland in winter. The society teaches us to dream and offers possibilities to see our dreams becoming reality. And this is what you will find if you visit Edinburgh in winter.

You can book your Edinburgh apartments in advance online. This way you can find the nearest to the places of your interest accommodation. The other of the benefits of this foresight is you can plan your vacation using the informations from the residents of the zone. And who knows the best solutions and events better than those who lives in the town?

The best entertainment in Edinburg in winter offer the gardens. And the spectacles become much more impressive in the nighttime, when multicolor lights transform visitors, artists and objects in parts of magic performance, where everybody feels himself the main character of this universe of the feast.

For this reason you have to choose your Edinburgh accommodation carefully. Specially if you plan to pass this vacation with children. If you remain till the late night to skate and slide, to partecipate on the spectacles, it will be easier, if you stay in a hotel that situates not far from the parks.

There are skating and sliding ice rinks for the visitors of all ages in Edinburgh. But if you are just tired, your children want to skate more and more. Don't worry. Let them do. In that time you can taste traditional foods and drinks near the rink. We, adults, have our own image of the fable.

Where To Buy New, Used Cars And Vans

It is difficult to find something in the infinity of the informations in internet. That is why I like special sites, a sort of summaries, devided in all possible categories like Perrys pages dedicated to the right for you Peugeot Dealer search. The great dealership's number, the best deals on new cars and a large stock of used cars that you can see listed directly online, all this make Perrys one of the most important franchised Peugeot retailers in UK. And the company is authorized and regulated by Financial Services Authority, the peculiarity that is not the last to know when you look for something in internet.

Pages dedicated to Peugeot cars are easy to navigate because the information is clear and essential. Than you can pass to the specialpages dedicated to this or that model like Peugeot 308 for example where you will find descriptions of the modifications and the best deals available today. It's clear that the stock is constantly renewed, so you wwill find different offers every time you visit the site. Imagine that you can save till about �5,000 if you buy this car today! Not so bad if we think about the difficult times we live now. Is it bad or good but it is unpossible to live without a car and so we have to look for the good deals for us.

Buy the way, if you look for a small car, you have to consider Peugeot 107, the car of Peugeot-Citroen-Toyota project, that was face-lifted and renewed for better efficiency and fuel economy. These are the good news about it. Sincerely, as a woman that is interested in a small car for the narrow streets and cronical absence of the parking places in the towns, I did not like the very first variant of this car because of it's not very great look. Even if you are limited by such thoughts you can find now the new model in Perrys and if you do it today you can save up to �1100!

Theater Of The Sea

Surfing the web today I found this photo of Minak Theater. This place has to situate not far from Saint Levan (United Kingdom). I've never heard about it before and thought it is Greece. I wanted to find other photos of this place and was surprized to see them because this one is the less "danerous" position. From other places the theater seems to be terrificant.

There are different interesting theaters today. Like that of Pompei. There are shows very often in summer there. I think it's right to use these buildings so as they were projected. It is interesting.

Now imagine to go in this theater. I would like to sit there even without any show. To listen to the waves and to look at the birds and ships... But if it's UK, there are not so many sunny days for it. I began to love more light of the sun. Maybe I say so because I'm tired to stay in home this rainy winter...
