Due to the Economic crisis that is happening around the world, many countries that were expensive to travel to before have decreased in price and have become more economically viable to travel to.

In Iceland a few years ago a bottle of beer was around 7£ where do the exchange rate a bottle of beer is about 4£ which is a huge drop..

So straight after the New Years celebrations .. I managed to get myself a cheap flight to Iceland’s Keflavik International Airport which is about 30 miles from Reykjavik and managed to great a great deal on accommodation so off I went.

Travelling to Iceland in the winter is a very strange experience as they only have around 4 to 5 hours of daylight during the day which is very strange. However when arriving into Iceland early in the morning the scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and I was amazed at the beauty of the Island. Once I arrived at my hotel and had settled in it was almost dark so I just wet for a little wander and found one of the local bars and had a few drinks before heading back where I enjoyed a nice thermal bath at the hotel.

The following morning my adventures started. The first stop was to the Blue Lagoon near Reykjavik which is unique geothermal pool where you can bathe in the warm waters which were surrounded by snow. You can even put Silicon mud on your face which is said to have great cleansing properties. I spent the morning there and I also took time to go and relax in the lava caves and the geothermal steam bath. Once I had finished soaking myself I went and enjoyed a hot chocolate in the onsite restaurant which over looks the Blue Lagoon which was awesome.

I then decided to hire a car which was the easiest option as it got dark so early and it meant I could get around much easier. So I hired a car which was not to cheap but around the same price that you pay anywhere !!!

I then drove to the Thingvellir National Park where the American and European earth plates meet. I managed to find the hotel which was situated near Mossfell which was a lovely little place and I was given some information by the owner of the hotel regarding Thingvellir. In 930 AD, while much of Europe was feuding and caught up in conflict the chiefs of Iceland gathered in a natural amphitheatre to the north and west of Reykjavik and formed the world’s first parliament, which was called Althing.

The meeting place was called Thingvellir which means parliament plains, and over the next 300 years representatives came here once a year to elect and appoint leaders, argue cases, and settle disputes. Today the Thingvellir National Park remains the symbol of Iceland’s independence and the founders of the Althing could hardly have chosen a more appropriate place for their meetings. The scenery is beautiful and nowhere in the country is there a landscape that better shows the geologic history of Iceland. If you stand at a certain point in Thingvellir you can see the Mid-Atlantic ridge as it carves its way north and east into the island.

The owner of the hotel advised me to take a walk up Mossfell which was the hill that was located close to my hotel which I did ad it took me about an hour round trip but the views and the scenery were great and once I was back I was ready for some breakfast before setting off to see the famous hot spouting Geyser called Stokkur and a great waterfall called Gullfoss. The Geyser at Stokkur was pretty impressive the water jets out to about 100 feet every 5 minutes but what was even more impressive was the waterfall of Gullfoss, or Golden Falls which it is also known as. The falls have a 105-foot double-cascade and Gullfoss is by far Europe’s most powerful waterfall and it was great to see the scenery that surrounded it and because it is winter there are hardly any tourists which was even better.

I then decided to go South of Reykjavik to the Reykjanes National Park which also has thermal pools and birds nesting in cliffs. In the morning I to the cliffs at Krysuvikurberg, which was another nice walk but took about an hour but unfortunately all the birds had flown South for the winter. Usually there are many puffins on the cliffs but the walk was nice and relaxing anyway. I then went and had a dip in the thermal pools at Krysuvik before driving back to Reykjavik

The following day I set off early ad drove down the South coast to a little place called Vik. All the towns that I had seen outside of Reykjavik, are just little villages with sometimes only 100 inhabitants. Vik has about 300 inhabitants. On the way I stopped at Seljaland which was another lovely waterfall, where you can walk behind it. I also stopped at Skogarfoss, another waterfall and then took a walk down to the beach at Dyrholaey, which is the most southern tip of Iceland. The sand here is black and soft however the main attraction in the southern areas are the glaciers. I managed to find a nice little hotel where I stayed for the night which was great.

The next day I headed to a place called Kirkjubaerklaustur or Klaustur for short I wet and explored the glacier which was amazing and I was just fascinated with the amount of ice that makes up the glacier. The glacier which is called Vatnajokull, is the third largest ice mass in the world, after Antarctic and Greenland which was pretty amazing.

After there I stopped at the Skaftafell National Park and walked to the waterfall called Svartifoss. Once you reach the top the views are amazing you can look down onto the

glacier, down the valley and look up at the mountain peaks. It was a bit of a trek and by the time I got back down it was dark already so I headed back to the hotel.

That evening I was asked if I would like to go and see the Northern Lights in the sky which of course I did. We drove out of the town, because you need darkness all around but as soon as I got out of the car, the lights just come at you from across the sky in green, yellow, orange colours, it was just fantastic to see and it is truly amazing.

My next big attraction was to visit Jokulsarlon, which is a lagoon filled with icebergs that have come off from the glacier and also one of the most visited places in Iceland. The lagoon was great and I walked along the shores and then down to the beach where you ca see the ice being taken out to sea. I then ventured down to the beach to see the bits of ice being washed out to sea.

I then spent a few days just wandering around and relaxing in the thermal pools before heading home.

Iceland is a beautiful country and I only saw the south and southwest corner of it and I would love to come back for more especially during the summer time.

Nature and natural beauty has given Iceland a special touch, here you can just sit and enjoy the view without ever getting bored of it.

I recently spent a week in Lanzarote with my friend. The majority of it was spent lazing around the pool and the beautiful beaches of the Island, however we did manage to get out and see some of the Island. 

Lanzarote is one of the Canary Islands located close to Africa.  The weather is pretty good all year round and makes a great winter destination. The weather was in the mid 20c which was fantastic for our post NYE holiday, there was a slight breeze which was a welcome respite from the sunshine.

Our hotel was located in Puerto del Carmen which is the main touristy place on the island and although a top destination the area has managed to retain a lot of its beauty. There are some high rise hotels but not like you find in the tourist destinations in the Costa del Sol or places like that. There are plenty of bars and restaurants that stay open all year round.. Lots of English food but plenty of traditional food especially meat and fish dishes.

One day we ventured to Playa Blanca which is a small resort situated at the bottom of the Island. We took the bus which was about a 40 minute drive and travelled through the beautiful scenery. The country side is very strange, Lanzarote is a volcanic island and the ground is all black and there is no natural vegetation. However they do manage to grow crops and even produce wine. The only way to try and describe Lanzarote is as a black desert even the mountains are black with no trees on them which is very strange especially when you come from Wales and everything is green !!!

Playa Blanca is a lovely seaside resort and many boat trips leave from this part of the island and we were tempted by one of the glass bottom boat trips but because of the wind we decided to give it a miss. We spent a great few hours just wandering around this lovely little town and from the sea you are able to see some of the other islands which makes up the Canaries such as Fuerteventura. We headed towards the Marina Rubico where there were plenty of up-market shops and restaurants and looked like this was the best place to hang out for the afternoon. We stopped for a drink and a great selection of Tapas and sat there until the sun started to set and then realised that we would need to catch out bus back to Playa Carmen.

That evening we went into the centre of Playa Carmen which was still busy despite being just after NYE but we enjoyed some great cocktails and wandered around the city and visited many of the bars for some great cheap drinks…

Having done diving before we decided go on a dive and booked ourselves in with one of the dive schools that was doing an afternoon dive. Being PADI certified we didn’t need to do the practice and headed straight out in the afternoon. Luckily the wind had died down and the boat trip was pretty smooth.. The diving in Lanzarote was pretty awesome had. The underwater rock formations are pretty spectacular due to the volcanic activity and we visited places known as the Cathedral and the Blue hole, we also got to see some red coral and a number of sea urchins which was great

Feeling a little lazy after Xmas and the New year we decided to do a bus tour as we though this would be the best way for us to see the important places of the island. We decided to choose to see some of the South Island and if we then wanted we could see the North part on another day.

The tour began at El Golfo where we then made our way down to El Charco de los Clicos also known as the green lagoon and although the water is not actually green when the sunshine’s on it the algae in the water gives of a great green glow lucky for us it was sunny and the water looked great apparently if its cloudy then the water just looks like old dirty soapy water. The bay here was also impressive and here you can find the semi precious stone called Olivin which is also a lovely green colour found in the rocks.

From here we continued to the bottom of the volcanoes known as Fire Mountain which are an absolute must to anyone visiting Lanzarote. The area here was declared a national park in 1968 and I can totally see why. What was also a lot of fun was the camels ride to the top of the mountain where the views are amazing and you can see for miles across  the volcanic landscape. We stopped at the El Diablo restaurant for a quick cup of tea before heading off.

The next stop was the Montana del Fuego  in the heart of the Timanfaya National Park where we are shown geothermal experiments demonstrating the power of the heat below the surface. For the first experiment we were asked to stand in a circle and hold out our hands then out guide dug into a small pit and takes out some dirt on his spade and places a little bit in everyone’s hands. The dirt is really hot and it we were all surprised at how hot it was, the dirt is hot enough to burn you so you do have to be careful. The second part was also fascinating the guide grapes his fork and stands over a hole in the ground and he places some grass into the hole and in a few seconds the grass catches fire due to the heat coming up from under the ground. The last part of the experiments the guide has  got  tubes  in the ground and a bucket of water beside him. The guide then tells us to count to 3 and take a picture he then quickly poured the water down one of the tubes and moved very quickly away from it and within less than 5 seconds the water erupts from the tube into a great fountain of steam. Apparently the ground is 610 degrees just 16 metres down !!!

After the guide had finished showing us the experiments we  drove around the extensive lava fields which were formed by the 18th century volcanic eruptions. The fields are awesome and words cant describe how pretty and strangely haunting they looked with different colours and textures. You can still see the volcanic ash and melted rock from the eruption that was nearly 200 years ago which again was pretty impressive. 

After the tour we were then taken for lunch which was included in the price which was great and was definitely needed after lots of walking around. After dinner we went to the strange vineyards of La Guira for some wine tasting. The wines were great and we were surprised at the method of how they make the wines, we did purchase a few bottles to take home with us and that was the end to a pretty perfect day

This was the best way for us to see some of the Island as we got to visit some really interesting places in one day and meant that we could spend the rest of the week chilling out which was exactly what we did.

I recently made a trip to Dusseldorf to visit a friend of mine. I fell in love with this wonderful city! Dusseldorf is alive with Nightlife, fairs,  annual events, spectacular views and the beautiful Rhine River…

I arrived to Dusseldorf International Airport and my friend was waiting for me there.  The airport is about 10km away from the city centre. My friend lives in the city centre so we didn’t have any problem about transportation.

The next day I was ready for some sightseeing on the streets of Dusseldorf. We started from the Old Town, Altstadt. I found it interesting that it is known as “ the longest bar in the world”. It was because of that there are too many bars and pubs in the Old Town. In Altstadt, you can taste the special beer of Dusseldorf – Altbier. I liked walking in the historical streets of this part of the city. We visited Heinrich Heine’s birthplace, St Andreas Church, and the Sclossturm. At the end of the day we were exhausted and to get a rest, we stopped at one of the bars and had a drink

The next day I wanted to do some shopping and so my friend took me to Konigsallee. The place is also known as the Champ Elysees of Germany. 

Then I saw one of the best known landmarks of the city – Rheinturm. It is a TV tower and there is said to be the world’s largest digital clock. It actually was huge.

If you are looking for a gift for your friends or family from Dusseldorf, you can buy Killepitsch. It was a local liquor that has a blood red color. Lowensenf is another good choice for a gift. It is a kind of mustard that was specially produced in Germany and Dusseldorf is an important place for it. You may also buy a bottle of Old beer.

Enjoy museums? I can recommend that you visit Film-museum and Stadtmuseum. Benrath Palace and Park is another lovely landmark for sightseeing. The spectacular gardens of the palace are definately worth spending some time in.

I had to go back early so I couldn’t finish  discovering Dusseldorf. I am planning to go back the next summer!

Frasier Island is located along the southern coast of Queensland in Australia. The length of the island is about 120 kilometres and it is considered as the largest sand island in the world!

There is a legend about the name of the island. It was named after Frasier Family. In 1836, the ship sanked and Captain James Frasier came to the island with his wife – Eliza Frasier. The Captain died on the island and people named the island – Frasier.

The Frasier hasn’t developed as the settlement area during the time. There are only two village on the island. There is no land but only sand on the ground but even so there are many beautiful trees.

You will be impressed by the wonderful scenery in the island – clear sand, perfect blue sea and bright green! It is like a virgin land that has never been discovered!

To reach the island, you need to go to Maroochydore Airport from Sydney or Melbourne. Then you will come to Rainbow Beach or Hervey Bay. From there, you will get the ferry to the island. If you would like to join a tour, it may be more easier. Or you may hire a car but it is a bit expensive.

There is not many building in the island. You can find a few hostels or the camp areas. There are several shops where you can find souvenirs.

A major attraction in the island is the shipwreck of Maheno. It was a high-class passenger ship which was built in Scotland. Maheno was used during the World Wars. Today, you can only observe the shipwreck from the outside, climbing is not allowed.

Another popular attraction is Lake McKenzie. The lake has an area of 150 hectares and 5 metres in  depth.

Central Station is another famous destination on the island. Surrounded by bushwalking tracks, the station offers a full appreciation of the variety of plants.

The 75 Mile Beach is not the best place to swim because of the dangerous flows and sharks yet the beach is amazing! There are many highlights located on the beach such as the Maheno Wreck, Eli Creek, and Champagne Pools.

On every part of the island, you can find different species of animals and plant. The colour of the sand on the island differs from orange to white and makes the island irreplaceable.   Frasier Island is definately worth experiencing!

I had a short trip to Riga and have to say how much I loved this city

Riga is a perfect place to visit with its rich history, beautiful gardens and parks, architecture, museum and galleries…

To get around you can use taxis, trams and buses or the local train. Taxis are reasonably priced in the city. Even so you must be careful, if you are appear to be a tourist, they may use the longest ways to your destination. However, I am glad to come across with the best taxi drivers  they were so friendly and helpful though they were speaking so little English.

There are so much to see in Riga. You can start with the Old Town – Vecriga. It is a famous district that offers many attractions. The world famous Dome Cathedral takes place there. It is seen as the largest medieval church in the Baltic states. Orginally named as Rigas Domes, it is generally known in English as the Dome Cathedral but actually it hasn’t got a dome. The name comes from the Latvian and German words meaning “ cathedral”. It resembles the English word “ dome”.

Besides the cathedral, there are many beautiful buildings around the town. You should walk around the streets of the old town.

There is Riga Castle on the banks of River Daugava. The history of the castle dates back to 1330s. The castle is the official residence of the President of Latvia and homes the Museum of Latvian history and the Museum of Foreign Art.

Would you like to see the third tallest tower in Europe? Riga Radio and TV Tower is located on Zakusala Island and offers the great views of the city from the observation platform.

You also should not miss to see Saint Peter’s Church which dates back to 1200s. The church was the highest wooden building in Europe before World War II.

I have visited many other attractions such as the Three Brothers and the Occupation Museum. They are also worth to see. And if you have enough time and visit Riga in a sunny day, I recommend you to spend your day in one of the beautiful parks of the city. You can go to Mezaparks where you will find Riga Zoo. It is a lovely trip for children.

Curious about what to eat? You will feel lucky in this beautiful city because there are many choices for both local cuisine and international meals. I can recommend you to visit famous restaurants such as Lido, Alus Setra, and Rozengrals.

Have fun!

A few years ago, one of my best friends married a Canadian man and they moved to Toronto. She always invited me to visit them but I couldn’t find any time to go. Finally last month I was fed up with the work and decided to go Toronto for a couple of days. That was one of the best decisions that I have taken recently.

When I landed Toronto International Airport, my friend and her husband were waiting for me. I had missed her so much! We went to their apartment and then In the afternoon, we were out for a short trip to central Toronto. What a modern and clean city! We had dinner in one of the local restaurants there. It was a small but very nice and with a sincere ambience. I was a bit tired that they took me home to catch up on some sleep!

Next morning, after breakfast we went to see the major attractions of this amazing city! I visited Royal Ontario Museum and Art Gallery of Ontario. Both of them were fascinating! I have learned that the Royal Ontario Museum is one of the best and largest museums in North America. Then they took me another interesting place – Bata Shoe Museum. I loved shoes so much so that it was a great chance for me!! I also saw Napoleon Bonaparte’s socks!!

The next day we had a trip to Toronto Islands. They were accesible by ferry. It was an enjoyable journey. We rented bicycles and enjoyed the beautiful sightseeing around the island as well as the chance to get some exercise!

The next day they took me to a famous historical shopping market – St. Lawrence Market. We did some shopping and ate sushi for the lunch. Then we went to see the famous CN Tower. The tower was the second tallest freestanding structure in the world! The view from the top of the tower was incredible! I felt a bit dizzy while looking down.

The last day before I went back, we visited Toronto City Hall. What a beautiful building that is! After seeing that, I wanted to do some shopping and the next stop was Yorkville. I learned that it was a well known place for shopping and dinning. Many upscale shops were there such as Prada, Gucci, the Body Shop, Chanel, Lacoste and so on. At night we were all exhausted. We had dinner at home and immediately went to sleep. On the morning I had an early flight and had to go back home. I am so thankful to them for making my trip a memorable one. Next summer I plan to visit them again.

Have you even been scared to eat an Ice cream??

As a frozen dessert, ice cream is mostly loved by everyone and eaten in every season. Ice cream is made of dairy products, cream, flavoring and sweeteners. It is said that ice cream dates back to fifth century! At that time, people made it by combining ice and some fruit toppings. However, ice cream has numerous different combinations nowadays and some of them are very interesting! Especially in Japan, ice cream is eaten with many indifferent foods

Fish Ice Cream: An ice cream that smells fishy. It made by flavoring ice cream and saury which is a popular saltwater fish in Japan.

Octopus Ice Cream: Tasting buds with a tentacle? Octopus ice cream gives you the chance J As Japanese uses octopus in many different ways, it seems to be meaningless to shock when you see octopus ice cream!

Ox Tongue Ice Cream: Ox Tongue ice cream tastes like you have a beef and ice cream together. Maybe it is beter than fish!

Sweet Potato Ice Cream: Sweet potato is something famous in Japan and people also eat it by combining with ice cream. It may seem delicious.

Fried Eggplant Ice Cream: Eggplant is a major food in Japan. It is used also in sandwiches and pizzas. By the time past, people started to use it with ice cream.

Corn Ice Cream: Corn is an important additional to many dishes, especially in pizza and ramen noodles. Ramen is a Japanese dish that is a clear soup with white noodles. Being successful and delicious in many dishes, corn is also used with ice cream.

Wasabi  Ice Cream: Wasabi is a green strong-tasting Japanese food which is added to sushi and some other dishes. The combination of these two leaves a different taste in your mount – something that is both delightful and tingling

Shrimp Ice Cream: Due to the popularity of seafoods in Japan, ice cream is also served with shrimp. Another strange couple!

Eel Ice Cream: A summer food in Japan, eel with its quiet smooth taste makes a good combination with ice cream  – if you would like to taste something unusual.

Miso Ice Cream: Miso bean paste, served with soy sauce, is said to be the taste of Japan. Miso is an important add to many Japanese dishes but I think it is not suitable for ice cream!

Goat Ice Cream: Firstly you will think that goat ice cream is made of the goat’s milk. Yes, that’s true but not only the milk of it, containing the many other parts of the goat! Very strange!

Spanich Ice Cream: You do not need to struggle with your child to make him eat some spanich. The only thing that you must do is to buy a spanich ice cream. It offers both a beneficial vegetable and delicious ice cream at the same time!
