It's location exactly where individuals can also enjoy every thing: Party all night atmosphere, buying, spending time with children as well as loved ones, cafes, ale and plenty much more. The actual well-known visitor locations working in london tend to be Uk Art gallery, Nationwide Art gallery, Tate Contemporary, Technology Art gallery, Victoria as well as Albert art gallery as well as Structure based in london. Birmingham eye’s is really a location where it's possible to look at entire Birmingham. ]]> Mon, 27 Feb 2012 18:55:01 +0000 24935-161 http://landed.at/component/content/article/101-travel-blogs/24935-son-old-times-arent-forgotten- It felt a lot more relaxing than some parts closer by and I really enjoyed this part of my short too short New York experience. Make sure you get here to visit. I didn't find central perk though. ]]> Thu, 19 May 2011 15:01:23 +0100 25030-160 http://landed.at/component/content/article/101-travel-blogs/25030-rural-adventure Exotic Rajasthan ]]> Sun, 08 May 2011 19:12:08 +0100 24980-140 http://landed.at/component/content/article/101-travel-blogs/24980-peak-season-pain Fri, 18 Mar 2011 13:03:32 +0000 24967-139 http://landed.at/component/content/article/101-travel-blogs/24967-japan-earthquake-2011 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 14:40:50 +0000 24958-138 http://landed.at/component/content/article/101-travel-blogs/24958-buenos-ondes-a-buenos-aires- Its funny that I can understand european spanish less easily than the latins in central america. I liked my time in Buenos Aires and the backpackers simply cant get enough of the european feeling party scene down there while the rest of the world is away :) The city has some amazingly wide boulevards and the longest street in the world. But for me the highlight of Buenos Aires is the food. Gorgeous massive red steak is not the only luxury you can afford here but the wines are great too. Down with the malbec (disfuta) and another bottle por favor. I particularly liked my stay in San Telmo district. The hostels are very good all over and if your coming from Brazil it can feel a little safer and for some this is a big reason they prefer this South American Country than anywhere else. Not to mention the plethora of places to visit and things to do you could spend a year here. ]]> Tue, 15 Mar 2011 14:27:07 +0000 24979-137 http://landed.at/component/content/article/101-travel-blogs/24979-tikal-tour-of-the-mayan-ruins-guatemala I wouldn't agree that you need to take an organised tour of guatemala. Just brush up on the old spanish and get a good guide book and you will soon find out what is worth checking out. Here are some posts about guatemala http://landed.at/best-travel-blogs/282-tikal-lost-civilisation and here is an excerpt from the top places to go backpacking in the world http://landed.at/best-travel-blogs/24911-10-of-worlds-top-places-to-go-backpacking-part-2 8) Guatemala. Forget the capital of the same name get to Quetzaltenango Huehuetenango Cobán Antigua Guatemala Panajachel Flores and Tikal. It’s a colourful country full of culture just visit the local markets the locals walk miles to bring hamakas (hammocks) too and woollen handbags. Make sure to visit some ruins Tikal the most famous of all. Its buzzing with backpackers because life here for the backpacker is perhaps as cheap as anywhere. Then there is the old colonial city of Antigua my mate Billy runs one of the best bars in the world there so go say hello ! It’s Monolocos – awesome food and party in this pristine colonial city. Many come here to study Spanish in the numerous schools and it works ! ]]> Tue, 15 Mar 2011 14:00:03 +0000 24967-136 http://landed.at/component/content/article/101-travel-blogs/24967-japan-earthquake-2011 Sun, 13 Mar 2011 00:57:51 +0000 24909-135 http://landed.at/component/content/article/101-travel-blogs/24909-esta-visa-waiver-for-entry-to-the-united-states Fri, 18 Feb 2011 12:51:30 +0000 24903-134 http://landed.at/component/content/article/101-travel-blogs/24903-im-on-holiday-nothing-bad-can-happen Sun, 06 Feb 2011 20:38:43 +0000 5448-133 http://landed.at/component/content/article/101-travel-blogs/5448-small-but-perfectly-formed I find this a fascinating read wanting more info on these tiny resorts and how to access them the best without being funnelled by my 'expert' on the other end of the phone. I look forwards to one day having a nice wagon money in my pocket and skis and the whole winter to just drive round and discover. There is lacking IMO a very decent account of the higher regions in Europe in one handy place. ]]> Tue, 01 Feb 2011 11:36:56 +0000 259-112 http://landed.at/component/content/article/101-travel-blogs/259-hokkaido-posting-very-good-article Fri, 07 Jan 2011 20:21:37 +0000 804-101 http://landed.at/component/content/article/101-travel-blogs/804-fake-tan-and-shiny-desparation Great funny article. I like the FILTA ! Dubai for me bothers me as I would feel like I cannot go and have fun on the beach and have to respect the laws and tolerance to alcohol and sex on the beach is strictly no no. Malaysia KL in particular its hard to enjoy a drink. Is Dubai ? I am amazed by the planned world shaped resort there and Atlantis is perhaps one of the best hotels in the world ? ]]> Sat, 06 Nov 2010 11:17:51 +0000 790-100 http://landed.at/component/content/article/101-travel-blogs/790-lonely-planet-in-the-news-about-a-controversial-cover Thank you for highlighting this situation. I am a member of the Belize Wildlife Conservation Network and run a humane education programme in Belize. I was both disappointed and appalled by the use of a tied Green Iguana on the front of the Honduras & Bay Islands edition. Not only is this company profiting from and promoting illegal activity in Honduras by using this photograph but this has a knock on effect on conservation work being done in other Central American countries. I can only assume that this was a huge editorial boo boo and that someone will be held responsible for making this terrible and clearly badly researched error. I hope they choose to do the responsible thing and make a sizeable donation to Green Iguana conservation efforts in Honduras while recalling this book.

The fact of the matter is that we all know that is not the case. And further when I contacted them, stating that I am a member of the IUCN Iguana Specialists Group, concerning this issue my concerns were dismissed. Clearly they do not care about what they did. I took the advice of a friend and tried to post this to their facebook page but somehow the posts disappear immediately. Hmmmm... ]]> Sat, 30 Oct 2010 01:19:45 +0100 790-98 http://landed.at/component/content/article/101-travel-blogs/790-lonely-planet-in-the-news-about-a-controversial-cover As author of the first and leading travel guide to the Amazon rainforest, I appreciate that you raised this important point. The fact is that wild creatures in tropical countries are widely exploited (although there is some legal farming of iguanas as "chicken of the forest"). And travel authors have an obligation and responsibility to highlight this issue. In any case, I agree that the author and publishers messed up choosing this image for the photo. The publishers are always looking for the photo that stands out on the bookshelf in the store. To choose an image that shows a tied up animal shows poor judgment and lack of taste at the very least. In the three issues of my own book the cover has always depicted a wild animal taken in its natural habitat. Why Lonely Planet couldn't have done similar I don't know. But to look at the other side, they could argue that they're trying to show the plight of Honduran wildlife. But that would be post-hoc disingenuousness. - Roger Harris, Author: The Amazon, The Bradt Travel Guide (1997, 2003, 2007) ]]> Fri, 29 Oct 2010 17:16:07 +0100 723-83 http://landed.at/component/content/article/101-travel-blogs/723-5-fantastic-nightclubs-in-sydney Its been ages since I took a plane that far and always thought it better to go to Australia via a round the world kind of thing...also dreamed that going round the world seems to have some effect on you and you are never the same ! funny.
