Icelandic travel agency

Icelandic travel agency Nordic Visitor is now offering a special Early Bird discount on all summer self-drive vacation packages. Located just below the Arctic Circle, Iceland is by no means the most northerly landmass on earth, but as an unforgettable and adventurous travel destination, it's on top of the world.

In the coming year, visitors can expect even more natural wonders as Iceland undergoes two "maximum cycles". As the world was reminded by the Eyjafjallajökull eruption in 2010, Iceland is a country still in the making, and few other destinations offer Thingvellir National Parkthe same opportunities to witness the earth in action.

Besides the favorable exchange rate for visitors, Iceland offers unsurpassed access to amazing natural phenomena, such as the famous attractions along the Golden Circle route just an hour's drive or bus ride from Reykjavik. In less than eight hours, visitors can stand below spouting geysers, feel the mist of a giant waterfall and walk among old Viking stomping grounds in a tectonic rift valley at Thingvellir National Park-and still be back in time for a gourmet dinner in downtown Reykjavik.

The Foreign Tourism Of In Thailand waters At Flooded Laksi Temple

Thailand

Thailand’s worst floods in 50 years have hit tourism at the start of the high season, but the country has recovered quickly in the recent past from all sorts of scourges and some tour operators are hopeful a recovery might start next month. Lood water in some areas of the capital, Bangkok, and other provinces has started to recede, and the inner city.Travel tourists from other countries are still coming and many of them go to Pattaya and Phuket," she said, referring to two seaside destinations south of Bangkok that are flood-free.


TheThailand Temple flooding started in late July in the north and the water has killed 594 people as it moved slowly south, inundating farmland and overwhelming huge industrial estates in the centre in October before swamping outlying districts of Bangkok.Tourism accounts for 6 percent of GDP and employs at least 15 percent of the workforce in Thailand, Southeast Asia's second-largest economy.



The number of foreign tourists, from China, Japan and Russia in particular, has slumped since Don Muang airport was under water. Some people don’t know Bangkok has two airports," she said, adding the sector could lose 50 billion baht from the non-arrivals.

The Belize of Sea, sand & sharks.



holiday swimming
An action-packed holiday swimming with the 'celebrities of the sea' before relaxing at a retreat that was once home and travel Having been driven opposite the sea in a minuscule speed vessel (complete with a small hole due to the rotting wood) we find myself seated on the corner of the boat, with my legs only a centimetre on top of the water. Below me are at least 40 sharks.

sharks in sea
As I emerge from the depths, my guide points towards the horizon and tells me to follow him. Surrounded by the sharks, we snorkel 20 metres from the boat.Suddenly the ocean floor beneath me drops and I can no longer see the sand.We have reached the end of the reef and below is just an intimidating endless blackness.The guide points frantically in the distance and I squint as I see a huge shadow appear and then swim out into the ocean.

The World Travel Trip to Utah Is Vacation .....

Great Salt Lake
In the a century old, inspired not by some wild college all-nighter but from the pages of a fifth-grade Weekly Reader. A genteel tea service -- delicate cups on saucers, complete with sugar bowl and creamer -- rests on a tray floating by a bathing-suited couple lolling in sunny Great Salt Lake.

A wedding finally gave me the chance to experience my own briny baptism in Great Salt Lake, a remnant of prehistoric freshwater Lake Bonneville. In the time of mastodons some 20,000 years ago, Lake Bonneville stretched over what is now Utah, Nevada and Idaho.

The capital of Mormonism:


satch National ForestThe traveled to Salt Lake City to celebrate the marriage of my New York friends Scott and Nancy, who planned a late-September ceremony in the near by Wasatch National Forest. The snow and Sundance crowd were months away.

But the Mormon impact is felt year-round. Temple Square is the heart of Salt Lake City, with a street system based on a grid that sets longitude on the temple's eastern edge and latitude on its south.


Mormon Temple


There is no problem, however, finding the Mormon Temple, despite its location on West North Temple Street. Begun by Brigham Young in 1853 and home to members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the Neo-Gothic structure boasts a 210-foot tower topped with a gold-leaf statue of the angel Moroni.

Resorts rise and fall with the water:


Park in MagnaAfter serving breakfast that included freshly baked, sweet croissants and yogurt, the Armstrong Inn cook recommended the marina at Great Salt Lake State Park in Magna, about 20 miles west of the city. I had to admit: I hadn't seen any advertising or commercial attention devoted to the lake. I wondered if it was safe to wade in, even for a veteran of Lake Erie. De Freitas of Friends of Great Salt Lake concurred. "You can swim in Great Salt Lake without any fear of any sort of contamination."

The Utah Division of Water Quality oversees the water quality, she said. "There's this myth that the Great Salt Lake is dead. But it's very much alive. A very special biodiversity is there."

A tempest instead of a teacup:

Let's the salt air is a good example. The elaborate Saltair Pavilion was built on 2,000 pylons, with a bridge leading to the water for lounging, swimming and dancing. teacup At fresher morning good air to breath take mind relaxe and cup of tea.After a massive fire in 1925, the resort was rebuilt.

The Vacation Travel Peak In Africa...



MOUNTAIN OF AFRICAThese lyrics from a 1960s hit song by folk artist Donovan bounced around inside my head as I scanned the horizon for the highest peak in Africa, anticipating somewhat nervously its sudden appearance at any minute.

A sighting of Mount Kilimanjaro standing 5 895m above sea level was a planned high point of my holiday in Tanzania. After an overnight stay at the Dar es Salaam Holiday Inn following our delightful Zanzibar excursion, my wife and I were on the road to Arusha about 700km north soon after sunrise.

Our vehicle started with the first click of the ignition despite the three-day layoff, and being a Sunday the route out of Dar was thankfully relatively free of heavy traffic. Most climbing expeditions start from Moshi, which offers a variety of good accommodation and restaurants.

I slowed to a crawl, waiting anxiously for the wondrous physical feature to appear. On we drove Restaurantthrough Moshi, focusing north all the time, looking for the highest mountain in Africa.
The hotel is situated amid coffee plantations on the shores of Lake Duluti in Arusha. Designed along the lines of a colonial coffee farm which was originally on the site, it offers a range of cottage-styled rooms set in clusters amid extensive landscaped gardens.

The main block features a reception area built out of stone with adjoining lounge,Hills green restaurant, shop, library and business centre.

The directions to the mountain from the manager. It was simple – drive back towards Moshi and turn left just before the entrance to Kilimanjaro International Airport, a few kilometres along a dirt road and then, bingo, the mountain should reveal itself.Bright and early the next day we were on our way to find THE MOUNTAIN.
