It is a beautiful place, the landscaping is fabulous and the tour is good too. From across …

I went there, only to discover that …

Byron Bay still has a reputation as being a haven of alternative lifestyles despite the fact that it has become shamelessly commercial and incredibly expensive tourist trap.

The University of Bristol Botanic Garden is one of those places which really ought to be slightly more of a tourist attraction than it in fact is, but which I can understand not being so. Probably the main reason for this is that it is just a little bit …

We have been camping here three times and we have enjoyed our stays for the most part. We find that it is a little more expensive than other parks when you do not get electric or water at your site, but we still have fun and would go back …

I would have to say that Lub-d Hostel is one that lives up to its tag lines. They used to have “Sweet Dreams” as their tag line but I guess they’ve changed it to “Everyone Leaves as a Friend.” Perhaps, one of my best experiences in terms of the …

The Elan Valley, to the west of the small market town of Rhayader in mid-Wales, has an interesting and controversial history. The reservoirs which so many tourists - including me - now come to see every year are by no means natural lakes, but were created deliberately and artificially …

La Porte, TX I have to say I didn’t really know anything about this city before I went to except that the Olympian hurdle Kerron Clement went to school there. Which I have to say is also a really worthless piece of information that I know. Once I …

The first time I had visited Boracay, it was a lost paradise. The locals were very accommodating and they all had smiles on their faces. Probably because I am Caucasian and they think I have a lot of money to spend. Hotels were sparse and we had to live in …

Food is good, loads …

The Monterey Bay Aquarium was a pretty good experience. We decided to drive there from San Francisco (2/2.5 hour drive). The prices were a bit high. It’s definitely an above average museum. One deficiency though, is the complex and confusing layout. You don’t know if you’ve already visited one …

I read about this Museum on a pamphlet at a tourist stations. The brochure used words like “impressive” “imaginative” “unexpectly creative” and “must see” Granted it was an advertising brochure but these were quotes from visitors so I thought it would be an outing that could be enjoyed by the …
