Beijing Itinerary for Couples

Beijing is not necessarily a city well-known with lovers or honeymooners. After all, walking up the steps of The Great Wall is not considered romantic by many people. But it does not mean that this megacity cannot be a top destination for couples. Beyond exploring the popular sites in the city, couples can try out some of the romantic activities.

Here is a sample 5-day itinerary for honeymooners or couples who want to explore this ancient city. Because of the challenges with the language barrier and making all the arrangements, it is a good idea to work with some local tour operators to organize some of these activities.

Day 1

After arriving in Beijing, take the rest of the day to relax and walk around. You can try out some shopping too!

Day 2

Your trip to Beijing is not complete without checking out its most popular tourist destinations. You can start on this day at the Tiananmen Square (or the Gate of Heavenly Peace in Chinese) and the nearby “Egg“ (or the National Center for the Performing Arts). Afterward, you can go to the Forbidden City. You and your partner can go to Jingshan Park for a romantic view of the Forbidden City and the whole city of Beijing.

After some local lunch, you can check out the Temple of Heaven, which is where the ancient Emperors went to pray for good harvest and peace. It is also the biggest group of ancient imperial worship buildings in the whole world. For some bit of date night, you and your partner can watch “The Legend of Kung Fu“ at the Red Theater.

Day 3

You can spend the day exploring the premier tourist destination, the Great Wall. If you prefer to just enjoy the sights instead of walking up, you can the cable car ride up and cuddle while enjoying the views.

After a tiring visit, you can head off to the Chunhuiyuan Hot Spring Resort for some couple’s spa time. You can relax your muscles in the hot springs, with the minerals in the water good for your health and beauty.

Day 4

On your last full day, you can start at the beautiful Beihai Park, where you can check out the White Pagoda and the Nine-Dragon Screen. The next step is to visit the famous Hutongs on a rickshaw. You can also have more exposure to the local culture and life by visiting a local family and having lunch with them.

In the afternoon, you can check out Nanluoguxiang, where foreigners and expats hang out. You can try out the shops and restaurants here. After dinner, you can opt to go to Houhai and take a romantic boat cruise while having a drink.

Day 5

Before you leave this marvelous city, make sure you stop by the biggest Chinese imperial garden, the Summer Palace. After your last local lunch, you can say goodbye and head over to the airport.

Exploring this beautiful city with your better half or partner is a great idea because there are many jewels to discover. But beyond just going to the typical tourist spots, you should try out some of the romantic attractions for some memorable moments with your beloved.

The Importance of Travel Insurance

No matter how carefully you plan your trip, unexpected things can always come up. For example, your luggage can end up lost or stolen or you can fall ill while abroad. In these situations, having insurance coverage can truly make a huge difference.

The Importance Of Travel Insurance

In most countries, hospitalization is not free and without insurance, it can come at a high cost. You might also want to return home to continue treatment at your local doctor but this can, of course, incur more costs. Whether or not this really happens, knowing that you are fully covered will help you enjoy your trip without worries.

Getting out of bed, much less leaving the country, comes with risks. The main difference is that at home, you have your local hospital, insurance, and help from local law enforcement. When you travel, you have to leave your comfort zone and know how to handle these emergencies on your own. Applying for travel insurance gives you a bit of protection and help when things do not go according to plan.

Many people try to save their money by not getting travel insurance, not knowing that it can end up to be the more expensive choice. Even if you are going to the safest countries in the world, you will still want to be covered.

What Do They Cover?

There are quite a few kinds of travel insurance out there and you can choose between a basic one or a more comprehensive coverage. If you are a little bit older or you have some existing conditions, then opting to pay more can be truly worthwhile.

Most travel insurances, however, cover the following:

• Medical cover in case of emergencies, even transporting you back home in case of serious illness
• Losses because of an unplanned cancellation or cutting your trip short
• Death and disability
• Personal liability, like getting into a car accident abroad
• Baggage cover in case of theft or loss

Some policies will also pay for accommodation and other costs when you are unable to fly back home due to natural disasters or adverse weather.

Getting Travel Insurance

The most important step is to know what you need. In some cases, travel insurance is required when applying for tourist visas in certain countries. But even without being a need, being insured is simply a smart step.

You have to make sure, however, to check whether the countries you are visiting are covered by the insurance. You will also want to understand what is included and not included in the policy, and whatever conditions should be met to collect on your insurance. Talking to your agent is a good step but you should also read the fine print in the contract before signing.

At times, some coverage is provided by the banks where airline tickets were paid with a credit card. But this is surely limited and you will want to get more protection. As soon as your travel is planned and booked, you should immediately purchase travel insurance to make the most of it, like cancellation coverage.

Seeing the world is exciting enough but you will want to enjoy your travel without worrying about getting sick or getting in an accident. To do so, you should make sure you have the most comprehensive and trustworthy travel insurance, one that truly has your back whatever happens.

Punta del Diablo Uruguay

Maria Berry Local Way, My Blog, Travel

Uruguay’s Lesser Known Tourist Spots

Not many people add Uruguay to their bucket list of places to visit in South America but this small country should also not be ignored. Known for its beautiful beaches, it also has historical sites and colorful buildings that will enchant many visitors. When planning your trip, you might want to explore beyond Montevideo and the more popular tourist spots and instead, try out these lesser-known areas.

1. Punta del Diablo

If you are the kind of tourist who wants to be away from the tourists and as close to the locals as possible, then this small village of 850 people should be at the top of your list. The beaches of this seaside village are as picturesque as the ones in Brazil but without the crowds. Plus, the village itself has colorful buildings that make it look like a fairytale.

It is a quieter destination for those who are looking to get away from the city’s hustle and bustle. However, remember to plan the timing well. This area is relatively cooler in winter, so either visit during the warmer days or book a villa with a fireplace. This tiny village does not have any of the amenities of a big city. For example, there is only one ATM and it is not always functioning well. Thus, you might want to bring enough money with you. US dollars are accepted in most hotels, though.

2. Salto

Salto is a bigger city but it is a top destination for those who love dancing, music, and a rich nightlife. Beyond these, it is also known for little galleries and small museums like the Museo del Hombre y la Tecnologia. It is the perfect place to learn about and appreciate the local culture and technological developments.

3. Tacuarembo

To best appreciate the culture and history of the country, then Tacuarembo is the place to do so. It is believed to be the starting point for the Gaucho (South America’s answer to cowboys). It is also the birthplace of Carlos Gardel, the tango legend, who is featured in the local museum dedicated to him.

Beyond these highlights, Tacuarembo is also home to the Gruta de Los Helechos Nature Park. This is a beautiful starting point for a hike and you can enjoy the waterfalls and small streams to be found along the way.

3. Treinta Y Tres

This spot is named after the number of people who fought for independence in Uruguay. Treinta y tres (33) people were exiled from neighboring Argentina and their names are now engraved on the town square monument. Other highlights of the area are the rich history attached to it, and at the same time, the pretty surroundings.

4. La Paloma

La Paloma is another stunning seaside city where you can also enjoy the sights of Rocha surrounding the city. It is also popular among sea lovers thanks to its beautiful beaches and even the sword. Take note, however, that it is a protected ecological reserve.

When To Visit Uruguay

The location of Uruguay stops it from being too cold during winter, so it is an all-year-round destination. If you want to avoid other visitors, do not plan your trip between December and February. Checking out these sites will allow you to see more of the city and enjoy all it has to offer, without the hordes of other visitors.

The Coolest Destinations in Scotland

Scotland is full of natural beauty which every visitor learns to appreciate during his visit. While the cities Edinburgh and Glasgow dominate the lists of places to see here, there are many more destinations that you should include in your itinerary.

Identifying the places to visit should be based on your interests. For example, some visitors like history, while others like enjoying nature. This, in turn, dictates what you should plan to visit. Here are some ideas based on your preferences.

Culture and Heritage Lovers

1. Rosslyn Chapel

Thanks to Dan Brown’s novel, this unknown religious site has been catapulted into a popular tourist destination. Nowadays, thanks to increased interest, a new visitor center has been opened up at Rosslyn Chapel and a guided tour can now be booked.

2. Highland Folk Museum

If you ever wonder how people lived in the Highlands back then, then this is the place to go. What makes it so fascinating is that visitors do not just read or stare at pictures or displays, but they can immerse themselves to have a unique experience.

3. Museum Of Scottish Lighthouses

Scotland is infamous for its cold weather, rainy climate, and the fogs that make everything look so surreal. For many fishermen and sailors, lighthouses are lifesavers. This museum celebrates these structures and all the artefacts in one, while allowing you to tour a real-life, historic lighthouse, with parts of the structure at least 400 years of age.

History Buffs

1. Dunadd

There is not much to see in Dunadd but imagine standing where the first Scottish kings were crowned. Beyond immersing yourself in history, you can also enjoy the beautiful surroundings of Argyll.

2. Glenfinnan

Glenfinnan is another spot that became popular due to a movie, with the viaduct featured in the Harry Potter. The views from the top are unparalleled and the country is truly breathtaking. But beyond that, it is also where Bonnie Prince Charlie opened his flag and led a few clans back in 1745.

Enjoying The Scottish Countryside

1. Hume Castle

There is much more to the Scottish countryside than just the Highlands, and this is proof of that. The Scottish Borders offer you endless views of rolling hills, green for as far as your eyes can see. If you love such kinds of scenery, then make sure you go up this castle and feast on the wonderful sight.

2. Glen Torridon

If you have lived most of your life in huge cities, then touring the Scottish countryside will really shock you. Glen Torridon is one of those places that are so peaceful and yet dramatic (thanks to those soaring sandstone peaks), located beside a majestic loch (lake).

A trip to Scotland naturally includes the capital and some other bigger cities like Glasgow, but this does not truly capture the charms of the countryside that has enthralled visitors for many centuries. While the weather can be unfriendly, especially the more you travel north or close to the coast, being rewarded with the views and the utter beauty of these destinations will make any hardship worth your while.

Touring Austin Texas like a Local

Austin, Texas is a city that has grown so much over the last 10 years so lots of people are actually new to the city as well. But being consistently present in the lists of best places to visit and live, it means there are lots of spots in the city to explore. Whether you want to avoid the hordes of tourists or simply want to immerse yourself more by going where the locals go, here are the places you should not miss during your trip.

Where To Eat

If you are a big fan of various cuisines then Austin is the top choice for you. You will certainly find enough great restaurants to choose from, while still trying out something new every day.

If you have never eaten breakfast tacos, then they are a definite must-try in Austin. Head over to Veracruz and you can start your day great. After your breakfast and some sightseeing, you can head over to the older neighborhoods of the city where you can find Josephine House. In one of the older buildings, you will find this quaint restaurant that offers wonderful and fresh dishes. You can also try out Elizabeth Street Café for that interesting mix of French and Vietnamese cuisine.

Coffee breaks are best spent at Merit and you should reach for some energy bars. If you prefer something heavier, you can go to Lambert’s to try out their famous barbecue. For dinner you can have a little taste of Japanese at Uchi, where you can try out their sushi. If you are traveling with kids, though, then check out Fresa’s on South First. The kids will love the open garden where they can run around.

Where To Go

 

If you are finished doing the usual city tour and want to go where the locals go, then you can start at the Austin Central Library. It is a beautiful modern library which also has great views of the city. If you are traveling with kids, then they will surely enjoy the whole floor dedicated to books for their age.

Another great spot is Deep Eddy, which is the oldest swimming pool in the state that started out as a swimming hole. It also has a bathhouse dating all the way back to the Depression. However, the water is quite brisk at 66 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit and not chlorinated.

Other great places to go with kids or during rainy days include The Thinkery, the indoor kids museum, and the Austin Nature and Science Center. Beyond being great for bad weather, they are also highly educational.

Where To Stay

When looking for a place to call home during your trip, it is a great idea to stay close to great restaurants and shops. Some local-recommended hotels include the South Congress Hotel and Hotel St. Cecilia.

What To Pack

In terms of culture, Austin is pretty progressive so you do not have to worry about wearing what you want. However, you should consider the weather during your visit, as it tends to change very quickly. For those traveling during summer, you should definitely watch out for the humidity and the mosquitoes.

Austin is a vibrant city that attracts both tourists and new residents alike. One of the obvious factors is the rich variety of places to see and try out, so you better maximize your stay here by ticking them off your list one by one.

Visit King Arthur’s Country, Cornwall

King Arthur’s tale has been told all over the world for centuries. Movies, children’s books, TV series and many more have been made in adaptation from the tale of the famous king. From what we know, Camelot was the place where it all began. Unknown to most, Camelot now is actually a place called Cornwall.

Located in the southwestern peninsula of England, Cornwall is one of the sunniest parts of the United Kingdom. It is rich in history and is home to a number of the world’s most notable heritage sites. It’s also known to have the longest stretch of continuous coastline in the UK.

The light blue waters, Celtic ruins, beautiful gardens, scenic villages and parks are just majestic. It would take you back to a different time. No wonder movies about King Arthur and his knights were made here. The place itself just gives you a nostalgic feeling.

King Arthur & Cornwall’s Top Attractions

You can visit iconic attractions such as Castle Dore, the Lost Gardens of Heligan, Tintagel Castle, Land’s End, King Arthur’s Great Halls, Rocky Valley, Camelford, Dozmary Pool, Slaughterbridge and many more. The places that have just been mentioned sound so medieval that it would give you the feeling as if you were actually in Camelot and hence get an insight of how people lived at that time.

Tintagel Castle Cornwall

Tintagel Castle, which is managed by English Heritage, is a wonderfully mysterious place set on a cliff-top island overlooking the Cornish coast. Here you can explore the ruins of the castle though to be at the centre of Arthur’s rule. A small beach below the cliffs is known as Merlin’s Cave – after the famous wizard Merlin – who is prominent in Arthurian folklore.

Cornwall can turn your simple vacation into an epic journey further into the medieval market town of Camelford, known as a reputable market in Camelot. Let’s not forget Dozmary Pool, the place where King Arthur’s Excalibur sword was laid. It was said that Sir Bedevere threw Excalibur in Dozmary Pool after Mordred defeated Arthur.

Slaughterbridge is known as the site of the final battlefield. There lies a sixth century inscribed stone, which was said to mark the spot where King Arthur and his wicked nephew Mordred met before the battle. These facts are truly interesting and they make you want to explore Cornwall even more.

Meet the Legend – On and Off Screen

Another popular site that most of us may have seen in films and TV is King Arthur’s Great Halls. It is a dreary grey building made of granite that has a slate roof. It has remained intact since it was made in the 20th century by Frederick Thomas Glasscock, the avid Arthurian who left this legacy for us to enjoy. It has been visited by 2 million people since it opened in June 1933.

excalibur sword king arthur legend

Fascinated yet? Here’s more. If you are a fan of the Knights of the Round Table, you should visit Bossiney Mound. Legend has it that the Round Table was buried under the mound. It can be found on the side road of Bossiney, near the Chapel at Jill pool with a signpost that says Launceston. There is a myth that the round table will rise from the mound on a midsummer’s night when King Arthur and his Knights will return.

Cornwall is rich in history of King Arthur’s legends. So if you want to go on an epic adventure, make UK your next destination. You will not regret it.
