Travel From Australia

A trip to Australia needs careful planning as it is a long way from any other continent. Travel times are usually very long (22 hours from Europe and 14 hours from the US.) A great option is to include a stop off on the way or way back from Australia. Alternatively you could stay longer and visit another country in the southern hemisphere. A stop off will only work if you have enough time. You need at least 3 weeks to visit Australia and then you will only be visiting a small proportion of this fantastic country. A 2 night stop off is do-able if you have a 3 week holiday to Australia. Many travellers choose to do a stop over for a few days on the way there or way back from Australia. This also has the added benefit of breaking up the long flight and the jet lag. Asia is usually a classic choice for this and see below for more recommendations for stop overs: Bangkok and Thailand This is a popular holiday destination for the Australians as there are a few flight operators keeping flights competitive, and it's still reasonably cheap when you get there. For Bangkok...

Why Stay In Sant Antoni Barcelona

Any one looking for a little authenticity and local knowledge must stray further afield than the touristy stretches along Las Ramblas. On the surface Sant Antoni, ensconced between the Raval, the Eixample and the Poble Sec, appears like little more than a tired, residential community. Young parents watching their kids as they climb on the monkey bars. Dog lovers of all stripes mooching up and down Avinguda Mistral with their canine companions. A good mixture of long time residents and new arrivals, Catalans and various international contingents. The'hora del vermut' is a Spanish custom neatly woven into the fabric of normal life in Sant Antoni, 2nd nature to most locals and enthusiastically embraced by many who have made Barcelona their adopted home. Wandering through Sant Antoni in the dusk - or on a weekend afternoon - is proof that tapas have not become the sole terrain of the tourist traps on Las Ramblas, the expensive fusion joints in the Born or the nameless chains along the Passeig de Grcia. The'hora del vermut' is a Spanish practice seamlessly woven into the fabric of everyday life in Sant Antoni, 2nd nature to most locals and enthusiastically welcomed by many who have made...
