Outdoor Canopies a Good Use For Them Aug 18

With all of the natural disasters that are happening around the world today the demand for outdoor canopies is increasing. More people are experiencing these natural disasters than what they have in previous years, but that does not fight the fact that these people need to have some form of protection from the elements. That is when a person will want to know more about these items and how they can help in a disaster.

One way that these can help in a disaster is by providing shelter from the elements. Many times a disaster is coming from a variety of causes, but a person no matter what needs some form of protection from the elements. However, if they do not get that shelter then they could end up getting sick or worse die.

Another way that these can be beneficial is by allowing people to set up medical tents. The medical tents are were people are going to receive medical treatment and those definitely need to have some form or protection. However, since these are large it can help a person know where they need to head to when they need treatment.

Something else that these large canopies can help out with is by allowing for storage of certain items that need protected from the elements. Storing items can be a difficult thing to do for many people after a disaster. However, these can allow the perishable items to be protected from the elements, but also from being stolen if the canopy is protected properly.

Being able to live through a disaster is a wonderful thing, but some people may think that it is a curse at the same time. That is when a person will realize that they need help and shelter. Then thankfully relief will come flooding in from all over the globe and they may even send down some outdoor canopies to provide the protection that a person needs after a disaster.

Autumn Breaks in Lanzarote Aug 18

Too late to book a summer break? Then head for Lanzarote this autumn instead. Where the sun will be shining throughout October and November.

Lanzarote has a semi tropical climate so holidays can be taken here at any time of the year. Indeed autumn is one of the best times to visit the island. As the summer crowds will have disappeared, the Trade Winds will have died down. But the air and sea temperatures will still be very warm.

The cost of Lanzarote flights also falls markedly once the peak school holiday summer season is over. Making it much cheaper to visit the island. Whilst the cost of accommodation in Lanzarote hotels and holiday villas also tumbles from mid September onwards. Making it the ideal time to visit for anyone on a budget.

The south of the island tends to enjoy better weather than the north so book your break in either Playa Blanca or Puerto del Carmen to be sure of some sunshine. Both resorts boast great beaches and plenty of things to do and see. And as Lanzarote is such a small island it is very easy to traverse it – regardless of where you are staying.

As a year round holiday island the season doesn’t stop here, so shops, bars and restaurants will all be open as usual. As are the main tourist attractions, such as the Fire Mountains of the volcanic region and the seven Centres of Art and Culture created by César Manrique. A well known artist who was born on the island in the capital of Arrecife in 1919.

Manrique fought a lengthy battle to ensure against over development and untrammelled construction on Lanzarote. As a result there are no high rise buildings, with the sole exception of the Arrecife Gran Hotel which occupies the only tall edifice on Lanzarote.

Arrecife is the capital of the island and home to around half of its 140,000 residents. Whilst not a holiday resort in its own right there are still a number of decent hotels here. And Arrecife is well worth a visit even if you are staying in resorts elsewhere on the island. As it offers excellent shopping facilities and is home to not one but two historic castles. One of which houses the islands Musuem of International and Contemporary Art. Where visitors can also enjoy a great meal in the stunning basement restaurant that was also designed by the ubiquitous Manrique.

Chiang Mai Zoo – Fauna by Day and Night Aug 18

Situated in the heart of the evergreens of Thailand, the zoological gardens give people the opportunity to visit animals in their natural locale. The hilly terrain that surrounds the zoo is the perfect milieu for the thousands of resident animals, mammals, birds and reptiles. It is particularly popular among school children due to the novel experiences on offer.

The welcoming chirps and songs of hundreds of birds draw people to the ‘Nakorn Ping’ Bird Garden, where a myriad of colourful birds gaily flutter their wings. The tour continues to the Freshwater Aquarium where Ture Eels, Siamese Carps and Striped Catfish float about freely. Wildlife from around the world is on display at this zoo, including Indian Rhinoceroses, African Cape Fur Seals, Malayan Tapirs, Koalas and a two very special Pandas from China. The pandas are adored by all the visitors who feed and play with them. Elephant families, giraffes, hippopotamuses, zebras, deer, a gibbon and ostriches constitute the large and diverse animal population of the zoological gardens.

The authorities of the zoo permit camping overnight, which is an adventurous experience. Children love the excitement of sleeping amidst nature, under a starry sky by the side of a cascading waterfall, keeping an eye out for animal activity. Camping gear is provided at a nominal fee for enthusiasts to experience thrills of a night in a jungle. The ‘Twilight Zoo’, is another rare and exhilarating feature of this facility. Visitors can observe the behavior and attributes of nocturnal animal species from the safety of a tram car, at nightfall.

Why I Visit Puerto Del Carmen Year After Year Aug 17

Puerto del Carmen is Lanzarote’s busiest and largest resort. The old fishing village died in the 1960s when hoteliers grabbed the opportunity to accommodate tourists from Northern Europe who sought a sunny climate and golden beaches.

Here are the main reasons for me returning to Puerto del Carmen year after year:

1. Walking along the strip

The walk along the strip is a favorite pastime. The feel and buzz going on as you travel through the resort at any time is truly memorable. The amount of choice is immense and to watch the happiness as it goes on around you is very special indeed.

2. Honey rum

The Ron Miel (honey rum) served after a meal or as a shot between drinks is absolutely my best drink on the island. I always save a space in my suitcase to bring home a bottle of this Lanzarote delight. All grapes are grown on the island and with a sweet, easy tasting finish; this is my top tasting tip for while you are on your holiday.

3. The people of Lanzarote

The people of Lanzarote are always friendly and helpful. This will be first apparent if you use a taxi or ask for assistance at the airport. Always accommodating and seeming to be cheerful and relaxed Canarian people are amongst the many reasons Lanzarote is a top holiday resort.

4. The views in the resort

Wherever you look there is a wonderful view. If you are swimming in the sea, relaxing on a beach, sitting in a bar, walking up the road or on top of a volcano, the views are unsurpassed. There is no hiding from a scenic view wherever you look. Just raw natural beauty.

No wonder I travel back every year, huh? If you visit the resort in January you’ll find me walking on the strip in my pink sun hat. Feel free to greet me!

Avoid Prague’s Tourist Traps Aug 16

When visiting Prague I did a few costly mistakes. When walking around in a new city for the very first time it’s easy to be tricked by sleazy businesses. Here’s an overview of the mistakes I made. Make sure that you do not fall into the same tourist traps as me.

1. I sat down for coffee and beer at the old town square

Prague’s famous old town square is a very charming place, the square looks like something out of the set of a Disney movie. Everywhere you turn on the square, you can find patios or terraces offering a view of the tower or astronomical clock. While the setting is very pleasant, the surprise when you get the bill will put a downer on any day in Prague. These tourist traps are charging almost 5 times the average price for a beer, and oftentimes also charging a “cover charge” for the privilege of sitting on their patio. You are much better off by going to a local pub a few 100 metres from the Old Town Square.

2. Erotic Museum

On your way from Wenceslas square to the old town square, you will most likely pass by a small museum whose entry way is filled with gawking tourists taking pictures and clubbing music pouring out of the speakers. You have successfully found yourself at the “erotic” museum in Prague. The museum does an excellent job in advertising and they employ a whole herd of attractive women to lure you inside. But what’s on offer inside is very little and you are able to finish touring the museum in 5 minutes. 5 minutes of fun and plenty of money wasted. Avoid it like the plague.

Yes, these two experiences made me overstretch my limited travel budget for Prague, but now I can look back on them with a smile. It’s never good to feel fooled, so make sure you know what you’re getting when walking around in Prague.

Winter Camping Tips Aug 15

Avoid Cotton:

Remember that cotton becomes ten times heavier if put in water, and there are a lot of chances of that happening during the winter season. Therefore, refrain from wearing cotton and invest in some nice woolen clothes for your winter camping exercise.

Head Gear:

Head gear is very important during winter camping. You can wear any kind of headgear that covers your ears and our head.  Also, headgear is necessary while travelling at high speeds during winter because exposing yourself to the cold weather at high speed can simply give you a headache.

No Clothes too tight:

Wearing too tight clothes during winter have negative effects on the body. Wearing too tight clothes cause the blood flow to constrict, thereby making the body parts cold already.

These are just some of the tips that you should keep in mind while going for winter camping. Remember that winter camping can be as fun as summer camping, it is just that you need to carry out the right things to make it happen.

Most people are under the misconception that camping can be carried out only during the summer. Actually speaking, camping during winter can be as exciting and adventurous, but only if one has the right kind of accessories and follows the right tips. Here are some tips to make your winter camping successful.

Three Layers of Clothes:

The weather can be a terrible foe or a very good foe during winter, and it all depends on the type of clothes that you are wearing. Basically, you need to do the exact opposite of what you would do during summer. You need to wear three layers of clothes, the inner layer, the outer layer and then a shell layer that covers you from wind and water.  Have these on and you will never feel too uncomfortable during winter camping.
