High Living in the Hills

The catered chalet holiday is a uniquely British idea. Tour operators install their own cooks and housekeepers in private chalets which they take over for the season. In the early days this meant roughing it in creaky old buildings, cramped bedrooms with Spartan furniture and paper thin walls, with six or more people sharing a bathroom and a loo. And the chalet girl was often straight out of college or finished school and more intent on having a fun season on the slopes than cooking you gourmet meals and pandering to your every whim. The main attractions were convivial company, a cosy living room with a roaring fire, unlimited free wine with the evening meal and a good price. But for a truly comfortable stay you went to a hotel. But now times have changed,

The general standard of chalets has risen. You can still get economy chalets and some companies still employ staff who are there mainly to have a good time for a year. But a new breed of genuinely luxurious chalets has gradually found its way on to the package holiday market. These generally have huge airy living rooms with great views, en suite bathrooms in most or all bedrooms and are staffed by professional chefs or mature couples who regard catering or hotel-keeping as their chosen profession. Four out money these luxury chalets now represent the ideal base for a winter holiday with a group of friends, combining privacy with comfort in a way that gives a real sensation of privileged living.

New Gear Means More Fun

There have been major leaps forward in ski and snowboarding gear in the last few years. In general they make it much easier and more fun getting down the mountain in your precious week or two and enable you to tackle slopes you may otherwise struggle with. A few years ago skis were mainly differentiated by the standard of skier they were aimed at. But then a host of different types of revolutionary new shaped skis started to come in. First there were the fat skis that brought off-piste skiing in powder or crud and heli-skiing within the grasp of even an average intermediate.

Then there were carved skis, which have now virtually replaced the old fashioned skinny skis. A few seasons ago saw the free ride revolution with skis with fatter waists designed to be used all over the mountain, on piste and off. Also the introduction of ski-boards or Snowblades hit the front pages of ski mags and papers alike. Also the introduction of trick based skis that allow you to easily ski both backwards and forwards and allow you to ski the half pipes with ease. Well this now bares the question, which ski type should I use. Well there is no answer and its best to find out for yourself. With renting skis in all resorts extremely easy you should have no problem testing out different types to find the ones your like.

Keep Safe Off Piste

In normal circumstances you should be able to feel safe in villages and if you stick to marked and open piste in Europe and open areas within the ski boundary in North America. But as soon as you venture out of these avalanche controlled areas the risks escalate. Getting statistics on avalanche accidents is very difficult not least because ski officials try to suppress information and publicity surrounding avalanches.

But there are statistics for avalanche deaths each year and these have been pretty steady at around 100- 120 people in alpine countries. The vast majority of these are holiday skiers or riders who have gone ‘off piste’. Off piste skiing and riding is on the increase and understandably so: getting away from the crowds among high mountain scenery and making first tracks in powder snow are magical experiences. It can never be completely safe – but your chances of survival are greatly increased if you are properly guided and equipped. Never venture off-piste even if its just slightly off-piste if you are alone. If you have an accident know one will know about it or more importantly where it happened!

One very simple precaution that everyone can take at low cost is to have Recco reflectors fitted to your boots or clothing. Indeed the Swiss Alpine Club and others have recommended that all skiers are equipped with these. These reflectors do not require and batteries or maintenance and they work with the Recco Rescue system that is found on the staff of most popular resorts.

Lamezia Terme - shhh!

Our adventure in Italy continues today as we travel towards Lamezia Terme, tucked away in the bottom of Italy. Lamezia Terme is not the most popular tourist attraction in Italy, but that is good – no fear of bumping to other Brits looking for ‘full English breakfasts’. In fact we are really looking forward to exploring this wee town. For those that are not familiar with Lamezia, it is situated in a wonderful, unspoiled region of Italy. We hired our car from the usual guys and they gave us directions as well as gave us the inside tracked on what to see and do in Lamezia and the surrounding region. We didn’t get to Lamezia Terme until quite late and thank god the car had air conditioning – believe me it is hot, hot, hot! Upon arrival we parked the car, took the luggage to the hotel and we were delighted at the greeting from hotel manager at the Lamezia Astoria (yes – it’s the real name). Giovanni parked our car and showed us to our small but adequate hotel room. After a great night’s sleep we explored this lovely town – Lamezia has a castle, great restaurants and a host of other things to do. It is not Rome – but it also does not have the glut of tourists that such popularity brings. All in all we spent 3 days in Lamezia Terme and thoroughly enjoyed it before hoping back into the car and heading to our next Italian adventure.

Look forward to reporting back next week. Ciao for now.

Bari airport care hire

Bari is thought of the melting pot where the traditions of the West merge with those of the East. This is due mainly to its geographical location, as well as the Fiera del Levante, the largest and strategically decisive trade fair of Southern Italy. This is also reflected in Bari’s blend of cultures with the town reflecting Arabic, Norman and Roman architecture and ways of life. This has lead to an upsurge in tourism with travelers flying into the recently upgraded airport, hiring a car to explore the old and new towns before heading further afield to explore other areas in heel of Italy’s boot. So if you are considering Italy this year for your annual culture consumption perhaps look further afield than the usual Rome, Milan or the Amalfi coast and fly to Puglia. Fly directly into Bari Airport and enjoy this wonderful area.

Travel Halkidiki Greece

Numerous of white, endless and beautiful sandy beaches with crystal blue water that are surrounded by pine trees forests is characterizing Halkidiki, the peninsula in northern in Greece. Halkidiki is the remarkable peninsula with the three smaller peninsulas (’fingers’ as called by Greeks) Kassandra, Sithonia and Mount Athos, the only monk republic in the world.

Because Halkidiki is not as known as -for example- the island of Crete and because of the natural and untainted beauty, Halkidiki is also known as “the secret paradise.”

Sithonia, the second peninsula or ‘finger’ of Halkidiki, is less developed. Here are the most beautiful and remote beaches that sometimes can be hard to find. The beaches at Tristinika and Kavourotripes beach are definitely worth a visit.

Most known villages of Sithonia are Marmaras, Vourvourou and Sarti. These places have stunning beaches and promenades with taverns, tourist shops and bars. For nature seekers Sithonia is the best choice as this peninsula has magnificent views and great forests.

Mount Athos, the third finger of Halkidiki, is the only monk republic in the world and is not accessible by woman. On Mount Athos 20 monasteries are build and access is via the village Ouranoupolis.

Halkidiki in Greece is located approximately 1 hour by car from the International Airport of Thessaloniki.

Israel for Australian Tourists

Israel is hard to beat as an interesting and unique travel destination. This tiny country contains something - in some cases an overwhelming amount of something - for just about every type of Australian holiday traveler and tourist.

Fun in the Sun
Israel’s summer months, which occur during the winter for Australians, are completely dry. If you are coming for the sun, beaches and water sports, you can rest assured that not even one day of your visit will be interrupted by rain.

Israel boasts hundreds of miles of beautiful beaches dotted with world-class beach resorts. Para-gliding, wind-sailing, snorkeling and scuba diving opportunities are abundant. Scuba enthusiasts will especially enjoy the unique opportunity to dive among ancient Roman-era ruins in the shallows of the Mediterranean Sea, or enjoy the grand coral displays nestled in the clear blue waters of the Red Sea.

Israel also caters to hikers with vast networks of marked, but largely untouched hiking trails crisscrossing geographical locations as diverse as deserts, pine forests and snow-covered mountains. Come during Israel’s winter months and you can even ski!

A Culinary Experience
Israel has something special to offer the culinary tourist as well. Home to Jewish immigrants from around the world and Arab clans from all reaches of the Middle East, Israel’s national menu is as diverse as they come. Chefs who compete at the highest levels in European competitions stand ready to serve up this wide array of specialties at an every growing number of gourmet establishments.

Complementing Israel’s rich assortment of foods is a local wine industry that is starting to grab the attention of top international critics. Wines from many of Israel’s boutique and larger wineries - all of which offer tours and tastings - continue to win international awards and accolades.

Historical Crossroads
Having played host to some of the world’s most ancient civilizations, Israel is a paradise for history buffs. Just about every patch of dirt in Israel has some bit of history underneath it, often making construction of new structures a nightmare.

Fully developed archeological sites providing a glimpses of life in pre-historic times, the biblical period, the Roman era and the Middle Ages - to name just a few - abound in Israel. Each and every historical site carries a unique story that could fill books, and many have.

A special bit of history for Australians is the famous charge of the Australian Light Horse Brigade during the Battle of Beersheba in 1917, widely reputed as the last successful cavalry charge in history. The charge effectively broke the Ottoman Empire’s southern defenses, allowing British General Lord Edmund Allenby to advance on and capture Jerusalem and marking a major turning point in World War I.

A memorial to the Australian Light Horse has been erected in the southern Israel city of Beersheba, and more than 1,000 Australians, New Zealanders and Britons came to Israel in 2007 to reenact the charge on its 90th anniversary.

The Holy Land
Israel is best known to travelers as the Holy Land, an area central to all three of the world’s monotheistic religions.

Jerusalem is the heart of the Holy Land, hosting the Temple Mount, Western Wall and the Garden Tomb where Jesus is said to have been buried. But the rest of the country is not left wanting for religious significance.

Jesus’ boyhood home of Nazareth and his base of ministry on the shores of the Sea of Galilee are sites not to be missed. Nor would any tour be complete without visits to locations in Israel’s southern desert and central mountain regions that the biblical patriarchs called home.

All in all, Israel is a well-rounded travel destination for every kind of tourist, and is second to none for those interested in history and religious pilgrimage.

For cheap flights and cheap airfares from the world’s most popular travel agent, contact Flight Centre today.

Apartments and Villas in Umbria

There are many apartments that are being placed in these old buildings that are staying true to the original architecture. These are some of the most beautiful apartments available for purchase in the Umbria region. There are restored to keep the medieval appearance inside and outside, but offer modern conveniences. There are also modern apartment buildings that are located centrally inside many of the most popular cities.

View of Bangkok

When arriving at the new airport in Bangkok the first impression is the combination of modern and tradition mixed in an astonishing and beautiful way. Murals reach from the Immigration down to the pick up of the luggage when passing through the halls on moving pathways. Steel, glass, marble and art make you pleasantly aware: “You are in Thailand”. The appreciation of the Arts is a common phenomena in Thailand and you will meet it everywhere. The population seems to be gifted and talented for producing refined decor that requires a special touch and an excellent eye for detail.

The capital of Thailand which is so different of the rest of Thailand, is like a buzzing and fast pace island in a sea of tranquility. Amazing architecture of skyscrapers crowned with golden cupolas or arches or build in the shape of an elephant attract attention when passing them on the highway. A turquoise building meeting the sky high above, seems to kiss the clouds that reflect in its surface of glass.
