 You have travel moments that you plan and then you have those moments that you know have transformed you.   Whale watching in Azores is in the latter. This Portuguese archipelago is considered by some to be the best-kept secret of Europe and is located in the mid-Atlantic and to me, the sea told its own magic. Departing on the Sea   Salt air and soft gray clouds had been the morning fare. We moved slowly in our small boat in the harbor, and the guide, a native, with a weather-beaten face and a voice that told tales, told us what we were likely to see.   He smiled and said: Patience, the ocean decides. So we shoved off and the land crept steadily behind us as the horizon broadened.   Side Note: Always check  Meet And Greet Stansted   before travelling and book accordingly. The First Look   The next thing was the sound of waves and the engine of the boat, which lasted some time. Then it came. A spout of spray burst up in the distance....

  Begin Your Day at Old Town Square   The heart of Prague is the Old Town Square. Go there before the crush begins and see the Astronomical Clock strike the hour.   The pastel facades are radiated by the morning light and street musicians begin to warm up their instruments. Take a fresh trdelnik off the nearest stall, cinnamon sugar will give you energy during the first part of your walk. Walk Charles Bridge at Your Pace   Take your time and wander over the Charles Bridge and gaze at the statues that flank the sides. The Vltava River gently reflects beneath, and swans are passing.   There are street artists and vendors lining the cobblestones, selling everything including sketches and hand made jewelry. You may even get a violinist performing some haunting Czech tune, if you are lucky enough.   Side note: If you are travelling for a short period then you can book long stay parking Luton   and keep your vehicle safe. Get Lost in Less...

Visiting Malta with children is similar to opening a playground in the Mediterranean. The island is small, but with a lot of family-friendly fun stuffed into it. Either you want soft sand, shallow water or a green place where the little ones can go wild, Malta provides.   Side note: When you are travelling with family, always book  Heathrow airport cheap parking  for a stress-free travel experience.   Golden Bay is the type of beach that every family would wish to have. It is wide, sandy and slopes gently into the sea, ideal for kids, who want to make sandcastles and paddle without danger.   During the high season there are lifeguards on duty and there is no necessity to carry your full kitchen with you to the beach as there are many cafes and amenities nearby. The best part? The sunsets are amazing-pack snacks and you have a family picnic with a view. Ghadira Bay, or MellieHa Bay is another favorite. It is the biggest sandy beach in Malta and the cal...

 Most people when they think of spending time at the beach during summer are thinking of the crowded beaches and the thumping music.   However, should you happen to be the type of person who would rather hear the soft crash of waves than the loud blare of the speakers and a view of sand that is full of other people's footprints except yours, then Michigan Great Lakes can be your ideal getaway.   Michigan takes pride in the Great Lakes, which are expansive bodies of fresh water seas that have some of the tranquil beaches that are underrated in the nation.   And although all the tourist beach towns are not lacking in their share of attention there are definitely hidden nooks that give you the sense you own a piece of summer.   Side note: Always check  short stay parking Heathrow   before your trip and book according to your needs. 1.     Esch Road Beach   The Esch Road Beach is a dream destination of those in search of lon...

  I had not realized when I flew into Thailand during its rainy season that waterfalls would turn out to be the very astonishment of my trip.      I was less worried about wet flip-flops, last-minute modifications of our itinerary, and how to know which tuk-tuk driver would turn on the meter. However, when the skies cleared and the rainforests had to be alive, there was something that came to me; it was the ideal time to waterfall hunt.     Note: Don’t forget to check meet and greet at Luton before your trip and book accordingly.      The rainy season in Thailand, which lasts between June and October, turns the country into a roaring waterfall as they transform into cascades of mist.      It is a greenest jungle, the rain and earth smell is in the air, and there are crowds, but they are happily less than usual. Not all of them are that muddy that you might want to keep the excess to the minimum, but here are the waterfalls t...

  We were not going to spend a lot. It was an impulsive move that you take when you feel good. I had watched those dreamy photos on the internet, little huts floating on turquoise waters, and always imagined that it was impossible.   But an off-season deal made it seem possible. We made reservations prior to either of us having a chance to think twice about it.   It was as though I was passing into another world by walking to the villa. There was a narrow wooden walkway which extended across the sea. The voice of the waves made everything soft.   Note: If you are travelling on a budget then you can book  airport parking Luton   and save money for your trip.   The further we walked the more the sound of the rest of the world died away. Here, at the last, was our night-stop.   The view is the first thing I noticed. The villa had large glass windows and a personal deck opening directly to the sea. No people were there. No roads. Water all a...

  Cappadocia is that sort of a place where you do not believe it until you are flying over it. The chimneys of the fairytale, the valleys covered in sunlight, and the ancient caves all become exciting with the sunrise as hundreds of colorful hot air balloons are launched into the air.   It is the stuff of travel dreams, and yes it can be surprisingly cheap once you know a few tricks.   When I came to Goreme, I was sure that I couldn't afford to take a balloon ride. I found most of the prices on the internet being above 200 dollars and that was miles beyond my backpacker budget.   However, with a little bit of inquiry and some luck, I found myself flying at a cost of slightly less than 120 dollars and it was amazing.   Note: if you are travelling on a budget then you can book Stansted Airport Cheap parking and save money for your trip. Here is how you can also do it. Not Online, Book in Cappadocia   Booking in advance is tempting, however, pri...
