Touring the Well Planned City of Canberra

Posted on by

Canberra is the capital city of Australia. It is just a 3 hour drive from Sydney. There is a story behind how this beautiful city became so well planned and built beautifully. It all began with the tug of war between Melbourne and Sydney to become the capital of Australia. After a heated debate over the issue they decided to make Canberra as the official capital of Australia in 1908.

After instating Canberra as the capital, officials asked architects to come up with a design for the new capital. It was Burley Griffin who got the opportunity to renovate the city. For tourists who are visiting this place there are numerous museums in the city to understand the historical heritage of the country. Hotel Canberra provides cozy and comfortable stay for the visitors. Canberra is known as “bush city” due to the lush and green areas that is exquisitely designed into the city plan.

Budget Crusher: A Bora Bora Hotel During Peak Season

Posted on by

Booking a Bora Bora hotel during peak season can crush your budget and limit how far your money goes while traveling. Peak travel months are May to October with June through August offering the lowest humidity and sunniest of days. Off season is December to March, these are typically the wettest months and as a result bugs will be out in force. A good option would be to visit Bora Bora during the months of April or November as these two months offer good weather, smaller crowds and hotel rates which are slightly lower than in peak season.

When you stay at a Bora Bora hotel keep in mind dates of travel play a big part in pricing of your accommodations and airfare. If you like to take a chance, travel during December to March offers the lowest prices but you have a 50% chance of experiencing wet weather during your stay. Keeping in mind travel dates can make for a wonderful trip to Bora Bora without crushing your bank account.

Amalfi Hotel in Italy

Posted on by

I have a friend who works as a florist in Milan. She had always told me how beautiful this city is and how it could be a very romantic place, especially for couples. This friend of mine had no other relatives so when he had the opportunity to hitch a friend to Italy, he said that I was the only person who came across his mind.

So when he invited me, I immediately grabbed the opportunity. His employer had booked us accommodations in a fine Amalfi Hotel. I can’t help but be amazed at how great the sight was. The atmosphere in Milan and in Amalfi is oozing with love and passion. I also experienced a lot of firsts and those made my vacation in Italy truly memorable.

In one of the nights, there was this fireworks display that really blew me away! I really hope one day in the future, I can come back here and spend romantic time with the person I love. Italy really is a perfect honeymoon destination.
