A day in the life of a country boy in East Budleigh, Devon.
Ediburgh Town and
Country:
Surrounding Edinburgh, the countryside of Lothian and the Borders offers wonderful day
tripping: from wild upland and wooded glens, to rugged coast and islands rich in bird
life. The townie delights of Edinburgh are well known; the earthy delights less so.
Il Palio di Siena:
Siena held the earliest recorded palio in 1238. Palli were also held in Verona, Padua,
Ferrara, and Bologna (during the Middle Ages), but in Siena the tradition continues every
August 16th and July 2nd (occasionally the 3rd, and sometimes in September).
Malta Tourism vs Timeshare Touts:
Too many incidents of tourists being confronted in the street while on holiday in Malta
has led to the Maltese authorities taking action, against the timeshare companies who
employ aggressive sales staff.

Inn changed from a quiet little Bavarian village to the center of world attention.

Dublin may be the Guinness capital of the world but there is much more to this vibrant

unjust, but good news for budget travellers seeking cheap holidays.
Rural Bulgaria - Kostenets:
Village Kostenets is one of the most idyllic and relaxing places in Bulgaria.

Postcard Republic:
Camel trains and indigenous people will not be found on the road to San Marino. This
photo-article tells you more about the world's smallest republic; famous for its postcards
and stamps.
Spear-fishing in Sicily:
We are about a mile from Termini Imerese, on the north coast of Sicily. I cannot see the

sharks which infrequently cruise through these waters.

the rest of the continent to ride out.

Greece:
It is nearly impossible to comprehend the magnificently eclectic and robust concoction
that has become today's Grecian society without exploring the region first-hand.
Travel to
Holland:
Tulips, windmills and wooden shoes might still be a draw to this Dutch region for some
travellers.

offers the depth, breadth, and scope of Italy.
Travel to
Russia:

coincidence most people know very little about Russia, aside, of course, from textbook
blurbs of Tsarist rule, Mongolian raids, bloody revolutions and snowy, desolate Steppes.

cheese speckled with holes, sturdy watches and the Matterhorn.

Spanish way of life.

travel article covers some of the main sights with links to relevant websites.

The Spaniards go to Englishtown, in Valdelavilla, to improve their English language
speaking skills. They go to spend time with Anglos; to be totally immersed in the English
language. They go to learn to think in English. The Anglos, on the other hand, do it for
the adventure. They do it to learn about the Spanish culture and to make new friends.
World Heritage Sites in Budapest:
All the important historic and cultural monuments that make the Hungarian capital one of
the most beautiful cities in the world.
